Superdave Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Super sweet set-up, but a bit too rich for my blood, thanks though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 A good friend of mine is starting a bike shop locally, he primarily deals with pretty high end stuff right now, especially HaiBike electrics. If you can state a budget I can see what he can get or might have used. I have a 17" Santa Cruz Heckler I might consider selling. 26" with 5.5" suspension.

mungkiman Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Superdave - Are you only looking at new bikes? There's a lot of value in the used market currently, at least out on the West Coast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdave Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Are you only looking at new bikes? At this point, yes, just because I wouldn't know how rough the bike has been ridden such as warped wheels. Just a bit leary on used right now, unless I know the seller has really taken care of it.

Nice Stumpy btw, I have a few friends who love those, and the Enduros. Did you get a new ride? Edited November 4, 2015 by J Free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdave Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 You mean for $800 There's no CF out there for that price. Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can probably help you with that. Google HaiBike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Free Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 not much, unless you want to kick it old school http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1858140/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdave Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Here's what I pulled the trigger on, can't wait to get it! You would think "pedals" would come with the bike at this price point. The Airborne Goblin 29er with Sram X7 components and RockShox Reba RL 29 w/Lock-Out Fork.

J Free Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Nice! should be a snappy ride, I'm too old for them hardtails nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdave Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Nice! should be a snappy ride, I'm too old for them hardtails nowadays. I'm not totally sure what to expect but I will be riding a good bit on the roads so the HT was the best and most economical way to go. I hope to go on some decent trails with it and see if I can still throw it around as I did back in my bmx days in the 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
