$300 for this used Gary Fisher?

[somerandomguy]

A guy responded to my mountain bike wanted post on craigslist and wants $300 for it. Claimed he bought it for $1800 and had been asking for $400 but is willing to let it go for $300. Also says that it has "all Shimano XT parts". I think it looks pretty nice but just wanted to ask the guys who have been around the sport for advice.

Hard to swallow at $300 let alone at $400. Bike is at least 8 or 9 years old.....rim brake only....old fork.....old components......would you pay $300 for a computer that was $1800 9 years ago?

That's not an xt rear derailuer or crankset. Even 8 Yeats ago 1800.00 wouldn't get you a full xt speced bike. Stay away from it.

HELL NO DON'T BUY IT!!!! RUN!!!!!! unless you can get it for 50.00 Very old.

It still has reflectors on the wheels, probably not ridden hard!
If the fork is working it may not be a bad deal. It is not easy to find a sub 25lb bike in the shop for under $1200

Year and model?
I paid $735 for my 2003 Big Sur NIB as a leftover.
