tpickup Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Iv recently looked into getting a trails as at the moment ride bmx and thought any bike sport will help throughout. There is a local guy selling a rockman slate, hope front and back hubs, hydraulic disc front and back with some sort of carbon fibre leavers. thats as much as i can remember off the top of my head spec wise. its basically like new and he is asking 350 pounds for it. worth the price? (i shall try post some pics up at later date) all feedback would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalRobbo341 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 You should really find out if anything is wrong with the bike, for that price there could well be. Some examples - dented, dented, cracked, re-welded, threads threaded, bearings knackered, wheels dented, a dinosaur hidden in the downtube (I hope you realise that last one is a joke.) Ask him some things along the lines of that ^^ Also ask if you can have a little ride around on it too, feel how it rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 A picture would help, but Hope hub and brakes certainly makes that price seem good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpickup Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 yh i don't think he's aware of price its worth as he got it next to nothing. iv had a ride round and the only thing i can fault is bit of noise coming from headset every so often, bar that iv checked all welds and looked for dents and theres nothing. how much would something like this normally go for? ^i know questions bit silly as you dont know full spec but il throw some pictures up tommorow there may be a badger in back axel!!!

ULtrialsguy Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 If it's all legit, then it seems like a good deal. Seems a bit old to me but should certainly do you well for a beginers bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 It's not really old at all. It's a Rockman Switch (as it says on the downtube) not a Slate, quite a nice bike for the money. Although what are the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
