Looking for a 29'er

[TonyB.]

Hi all,

Looking for a bike for a buddy of mine, hoping to find a local that's got something decent that they'd like to part with. Hardtail or FS but preferably a 29er. Fox fork is preferred, would consider others if the price is right, hydro brakes, flexible on components. Please let me know what you've got or know where theres a deal to be had.

Thanks.

I have a Specialized Epic Comp Carbon 29 that I've ridden for 6 months that I'm interested in selling. It's a 2011 model, but I bought it new this past summer. I live in northern VA.

I don't think the Fuel would be a good fit for him.

Eric, could you PM me a price on the Spec?

Tony - I'm new to this forum and I can't send a PM yet, as I haven't
replied to enough messages, but here's my reply:

First, I forgot to include that my Epic is a size Large (I'm 6'2").
It's a bit small for me, which is why I just ordered a new XL sized
bike, and why I have one for sale.

If the Large size is fine for your buddy, I'll say that I bought it new
for $3300 in June, haven't seriously crashed it (only a couple of
minor incidents so far), just installed a new chain and cassette,
and expect to have both shocks fully-serviced next month. I
haven't thought too much about a selling price yet, as I haven't
received the new bike (maybe this weekend!), so I'll start with
$2500. FYI, from Specialized's website, the current model has
an MSRP of $4400.

I've got an almost brand new 2011 Trek Rig frame size Large (19") that I'm selling and that I'd be happy to build up with used parts I have laying around (good parts, SRAM x.7, Avid BB7s, and Bontrager seatpost, saddle, stem, bar), but I don't have a suspension fork - would need to pick one up somewhere.

It won't be a bling build but it would definitely be singletrack-worthy.

Trek Rig has sliding dropouts so could run geared or single speed.

Let me know if this interests you and I could get you all the specs and price it out. Would probably be around $600 with a rigid steel fork (which I have) or $800+ for G2 suspension fork. Used parts but in good condition, and frame is like I said almost brand new (only a handful of short rides on it).

[TonyB.]

Eric, thanks for the offer but that's really too much bike for my buddy. And out of his price range.

Ken, thanks but he needs a medium frame.

Drazil, you have a PM.

[TonyB.]

Well Drazil deleted his post and hasn't replied to my PM so I'm still on the hunt.

Looking for a medium size frame hardtail 29'er with mid-range components. Looking to spend around $800-900.

[GelatiCruiser]

Have you checked cl in the area at all?

[TonyB.]

Yeah, I poke around on CL every other day or so. Found some, most were the wrong size.
