Austin Smithey Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 After my dad saw my recent mountain bike purchase he wants to get in on the fun and asked me to help him find one. He is 6'8" and ~250lbs. So obviosuly he needs an XXL frame and he wants a 29er with full suspension. Message me here or text me at 972-217-6097. Budget around $1000.

CBaron Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Thats going to be a tough find. IMHO decent FS bikes are hard to find (used) for $1k...then add in the rarity of an XXL and demand will be very high for that bike. Have your money ready and move QUICKLY if you run across something. Good luck in your search. Later, CJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck in your search. Later, CJB I appreciate it, Ive been scouring Facebook marketplace both down here in austin and up where my family lives in Austin. Closest thing I could find so far was an XXL road bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBaron Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Yeah, I didn't mean to be too contrary. But lately I was looking for an L-XL (used) hardtail for a friend of mine who was wanting to get started. So I was running across many FS bikes too and there's just not much at that price point (that isn't a 26" wheel turd). That said, we ended up with a Devinci Kobain from @xl_cheese (Wes) and Velorangutan. Devinci doesn't make an XXL and this was a hardtail, but he was very pleased with the bike.
