Hello. As you can tell, I'm new to this forum but not new to forums. Part of expedition portal and titan talk for now and am looking to get into the world of mountain biking. I am looking to purchase this used bike off craigslist as it is the only thing I can afford being in college and whatnot. The guy says its a 2012 Marin Bobcat Trail but looking at photos on the interwebs, the frame seems the bend near the front fork. When I look at this photo, it seems as though its straight. Can anyone verify the model and year of this bike so I don't get ripped off? We have agreed on a price but I want to make sure I'm not over paying. Thank you.
Not a 12 I think. The 2012 Bobcat Trail came in gloss black with blue accents. Also as you noted the BC Trail had a formed down tube just behind the head tube. I can't make out much detail from your photo of the bike. But I seriously don't think it may be older than 2012, and or, a different model than the BC.
Yup found out it was an 05 despite his very obvious attempts at trying to convince me it's a 2013. Apparently I wasted his time for doing research. Oh well. I found another bike I feel more comfortable with. I'm buying a used felt nine trail 2012. He has put shamino xt shifters and derailleur, shamino XCT crank, and shamino 9 speed cassette. Looks in decent condition from the picture at least. How much would you guys be willing to pay for this bike?
