If that 303 didn't have that built in ball shredder on it I might consider. If it took Yeti that long to give one of their old pros a bike. I don't even want to think about how long it would take to have something fixed, if something were to ever brake. Yah as you can see not a fan of the 303.

 

[jake133]

I wonder how much the Sunday's are going for.

 

[Red Bull]

considering both of them are practically new, $5000 for the red/white 07 sunday and $5200 for the World Cup Edition.

 

[pterodactyl]

Pros sell their bikes on mtbr all the time. I bought Cam Zinks V-10 Prototype rig 2 years ago off mtbr, kept some parts and sold the frame. Ended up spending about $700 over all for fork, brakes, drivetrain, wheels and other components that installed perfectly to my new V-10 frame.

I just bought a 303 from the marketing/ tech guy at Yeti for 4K. I'ts a size Large and I'm small, so I'm taking some parts that I need for next season and selling the frame, fork, brakes and a few other parts off it.

I wouldn't say Riffles 303 is that great of a deal: 3500 frame + 700 fork (what it's worth), 1300 for the rest? Pros at his level beat the absolute crap out of their stuff. Prototype and one-off custom stuff for a pro doesn't have any kind of warranty. They could also be designed for a shorter life than a standard production product.

We should expect to see more of the younger American pros selling their rigs on the site if they can't unload them to a friend in the next few months.

 

[driftsrfun]

the 303 is brand new, and the 40 retails for 1599.00 not 700.00

 

[Cant Climb]

I beleive its Riffles bike.

But why is Yeti doing a warranty when he isn't even on their team anymore....?....its not like he bought the bike, seems like a strange move on Yeti's part......why would they care, he spurned them and went to a different team in 2006....

 

[pterodactyl]

Right, but the the fork is a used 2006 and from a Pro is probably very used. I wouldn't spend more than $700 for it. The Frame is brand new, not all the other parts. Who even knows if the shock is new or not. Anyway, I'd probably offer $5200.

 

[jonnynails]

is it still sitting in the corner taunting you?

Actually it's now in someone else's garage taunting them. Seeing who the bike came from; I got tired of the bike laughing and yawning at me every time I rode it.

Could have been in the contract that he got a new bike thus the bike being part of the compensation package for Duncan.

exactly - I don't think they get paid much and most work in the off season so part of the deal is they get to keep their bikes and sell them. I think with the limited number of 303's for paying customers Yeti took their time getting Duncan his bike.

 

[Eggzoi]

Am I the only one who would want to hold onto the Gold WC Sunday?
Also if he's selling 2 Sunday's, what is he going to ride? I thought the gold one would have been the latest model so I'd be surprised if he had a new one already.

 

[CBJ]

Could it be IH will give him a new green one for 2007. Come on people be a little creative.

 

[sayndesyn]

How big of a choad would you feel running around in a Worlds only color frame when you didn't actually go to worlds....

I imagine most people don't take it that seriously... do you? And honestly, how many people even know what the "world's color" for IronHorse Sundays really is?!

Anyone who was actively seeking out a gold one, knows exactly what it is.

I'd just feel stupid on a gold bike, period.

 

[Cant Climb]

I hope his bikes find a home and they get ridden alot.....the gold Sunday thing was cool, selling it will help him recoup some funds he laid out this past year. Props to IH. Props to whoever buys it.

...$5200 in not unreasonable for a bike that was only ridden a few days and has some of the best and lightest stuff on it (if he didn't pirate stuff off it like Ti bolts)...

same here...I'd rock a gold bike! Plus whoever acquires Duncan’s WC bike will have a pretty unique ride…which I think is pretty cool no matter if it’s a WC bike or not.

I tend to feel stupid on an Orange bike. but even stupider-er when I’m NOT on a bike.

 

[LOOnatic]

The gold is hot...whats the pigment problem?

Most riders won't even know its a pro only color while your fronting anway.

Hey hey, easy, I just picked up a gold RFX.

 

[InsideMan]

Gold is the new white. I hope this white, and pink thing goes away soon, has anyone seen the new gold anodized T.L.D. helmets?! pretty sweet. In the next few years everyone will be sporting mossy oak paint jobs haahha.

 

[renegade999]

i just made dunc dogg an offer on the gold sunday, to replace my green one. because i can.

 

[Cant Climb]

I hope this white, and pink thing goes away soon

Yeah me too......never liked white bikes. Seems to sanitary....

 

[PoserNewbie]

I'd buy the gold sunday if I have $5K to blow.

 

[driftsrfun]

duncan needs to stop riding so much and learn how to spell,

"Breaks: Hayes MAG, 8" rotor rear (new pads)"

Breaks haha, more like Brakes, but I guess he is only human..

yeah, damn that White and Pink. And gold, too, totally out. And there's too many black bikes now. And brown's ugly. Green is played out. Blue looks like a Giant bike. Red just looks weird.

up next, CLEAR!! :biggrin:

 

[sayndesyn]

I tried to get a satin raw Fit frame and they are all sold out. pissed... raw is the new gold which was the new white which was the new black.
