You know of all the over-priced crap I've seen on CL & FB lately...dare I say that this almost seems reasonably priced?! -CJB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 That's...amazing. I'd love some rear view or rear axle closeups. But it looks like the frame isn't modified at all. It looks like they just custom built an axle to hold both wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinBike Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 "Makes working out an absolute delight" Let me run that through my bullshit decoder: "I am not really a mountain biker, I am a CrossFit enthusiast and I bought way more bike than I needed, then I realized that I did not like this sport and have moved on to my next obsession..." It's not a bad bike and the price is not incredibly out of line. I'd be willing to bet that the person took good care of it because it was recently tuned up. However, if you are gonna spend $3900 you can get a NEW full carbon for not much more. I bought a 2019 Orbea Occam for not much more than that with a full new warranty. Spending that much on a 4 year old bike with zero warranty is not a smart move based on some of the other options out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uses the same ad for every bike on there. He seems scummy. A 200mm DH bike is more or less unrideable in Austin unless it’s your dedicated spider mountain bike. Fortunately, I think the price is going to scare off any beginners who may not understand what this bike is intended for and for those looking for a DH bike, they will probably hammer this dude on the price.

Yeah, I know the guy. Everytime I'm on Clist - I flag his posts and hide them. I totally agree that he is a business at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would need to negotiate to take over the lease on that warehouse as well. Where the hell would you put all that? and the head ache of moving it all to another location.

AustinBike Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Looks like someone bit big on the idea of ebikes but is learning the reality of both ebikes and the COVID world. My guess is that he was starting a rental business. Hope he can find a buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
