AustinBike Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 My neighbor had a mountain bike that he was using as a commuter, to and from UT. Stinking thieves nicked it last week. He needs a replacement, wants a 29er HT. Realistically it will never see dirt, but you never know. Does anyone have anything for a few hundred that they would like to get rid of? Ping me.

CBaron Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Size needed? How tall is he? -CJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Probably a large. He’s about my height, maybe a bit taller as I get shorter with age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack_turtle Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 might be a good idea to hit up Performance Bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they hit that and it was pretty picked through. They are looking at this one: https://www.amazon.com/Schwinn-Bonafied-Wheel-Mountain-Frame/dp/B06XX8G66L/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1545141645&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=schwinn+29+inch+mountain+bike&psc=1 Based on the fact that his last one was stolen this one seems to be in the right price range. Better than a Walmart bike and probably ok for commuting back and forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 For commuting I'd get a $100 or less hybrid or MTB on craigslist with no quick release anything. I picked up a Jamis for cheap. It doesn't attract attention at all. Or even this https://austin.craigslist.org/bik/d/2011-trek-820-singletrack-mountain-bike/6775378546.html https://austin.craigslist.org/bik/d/specialized-crossroads-hybrid-bike-for/6773700533.html Even better: https://austin.craigslist.org/bik/d/18-vintage-specialized-rockhopper/6758290422.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBaron Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I've got a large Karate Monkey set up SS w/V brakes that I'd let go for $300. -CJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
