Is it a 29er or 26? My LBS has a 26" Monocog they've had for 3-4 years at $250. I was going to buy it, but I don't really need another bike in the garage. It's a sweet deal, though. If you're wanting a decent 29er SS bike for cheap, Monocog is hard to beat. I had an 08 Monocog 29er and beat on that thing quite a bit, but it was still rock solid till the day I sold it. Still miss that bike at times.
I got mine brand new for $350 and was excited. Jump all over that, its a great bike I ride it just as much as my $2k hardtail.
I paid full pop list price ($499 +tax at the time) and was happy to do it. I still feel it was a bargain, with the amount of miles and smiles I got from that bike. I upgraded the crap out of that thing, and also rode the crap out of it. Best bike purchase evar for bang for the bux.
I have one for sale in Dallas with Schwalbe Big Apples and disc brakes Includes the Knobbies that came with it for $500.00 I paid $680.00 out the door with the upgrades. Bought it new in May of `09 has 1750 miles on it.
Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill!
My bad reading comprehension wasn't very good today.. thought you said it was used (and yeah I figured you live in perhaps one of the Western states with a big blue lake.)
Anyway I just got a great deal on an '11 29er Monocog. I would tell you what I paid, but I'm a little embarrassed. If you're looking for one in Colorado PM me. MSRP went up this year too.
