cmon guys! 75 reviews and not one reply! The guy wants $1600 for the bike, good deal?? What ya think?

Price seems a little high to me but then I'm not a moots expert. You seem excited about it so get it and no regrets...

really?? has great components. yes it is 11 years old but the quality is still there. It had of cost $6000 to build back in the day. no?

[phoenixnr]

Value will be different things to different people. I am not dissing the bike by any means. Get it. Ride it. Love it.

Having a YBB for sale currently, I would say that the price is pretty good. I would budget for wider bars, Shimano shifters and levers (the more modern Avid levers are great too), new tires, and maybe a new rear derailleur. All of these can be found in great condition on ebay, and are period-specific to match the vintage of the bike. I would think that you could be into it for less than $2k pretty easily and be really happy for some years. Pick up a season's old fork at the end of the season and you would be set!

Those brake levers are Avid Ultimates. It doesn´t get any better than that...
To the OP: I would buy the bike.

Negotiate, asking price is a starting point in most cases. That said, it does appear to be a pretty nice ride.

[GNfanatic]

he just lowered the price to 1300. hhmmmmmm

[Dirty $anchez]

Well? Did you get it home yet?

[GNfanatic]

It was sold, to late. I might be picking up a Lynsky M390 frame, brand new in box, $1200. Not sure yet

What size are you looking for? I have a 19in ybb in the garage that i would be willing to sell. XTR, Fox, Bontranger/CKing wheels. If you are interested drop me a PM. It doesnt have a disc mount, but Moots will gladly add that and refurb the frame at the same time.
