Low end frame or Complete

[R-johnson88]

Looking for a low end frame or complete, top tube of 21-22"
Will be a work in progress, can't dish up enough funds for something new or even middle end used.


Thanks.

saw those, emailed the raleigh..
I think the specialized is going to be too small..

This SEEMS to be a good deal, for everything it comes with..

that caloi has been on there for a while now... and it's mid 90's era (note the rear brake has a stop for canti's)... my LBS sold em back in the day and i realy iiked em... not sure why i went with the schwinn over the caloi to be honest... longest fork you'll be able to run is 80mm (was designed around 63mm)... might be able to talk him down a smidge...

Donalson:

he says V's but those are disc tabs i see, right?
i can't seem to find reviews for that frame, though..

[donalson]

...there are 3 standards sizes of headsets... willing to bet it's a 1 1/8 standard...

$500 is so much damn money.
Honestly not sure i could get up to that for probably months.
And as of right now, i don't have a ridable MTB because the BB on mine is done.
Which is why i'm looking now instead of a little while down the road..

[donalson]

alivio is about equiv to your x4 stuff... not bad stuff... just not great...

maybe it's best to fix the BB (anyone have a 68mm bb out there they don't need thats not trash?) and save for a better bike?...

[natepac]

donate plasma for some $$

save up and buy the Haro for $600

[egordon]

yup pop a vein and bust a nut.. bodily fluids are a cash comodity, hell doate a kidney and buy a sick ride!!!

[egordon]

Rob, if you have $375 I'll sell you my full suspension 26" Specialized Stumpjumper. I got a new bike and won't be riding it anymore. Let me know and I'll post some pics and specs.

[egordon]

Rob thats the best deal you will come across.. It has XTR derailuer, Rock Shock fork , he just replaced the cassette, just put disc brakes on it. $375 is a steal for ready to ride.. Full suspension ta boot..

[donalson]

...basicly if you don't take it... i'll sell one of mine and I will ;-)... assumming i fits haha
