isitafox Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 It's a bit of a funny one as the frame itself is pretty old now but things like the King rear hub hold the price up because they're expensive. I personally would pass on it at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Are you from the States? The second hand market over there seems to be a fair bit stronger than over here in the UK, so everything seems comparatively overpriced. Even so it is fairly dated so might not be the bast value for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a mention when it's in massive letters in your sig, which brings me to this which I'm pretty sure has been here since the forum began 5.

Balls Deep trials team Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Would you also like to take the club website off my sig too ? As it's advertising ? That it MY personal site ?? Our non profit trials club ? Qualitybike.net is a sponsor not my personal website ... If that the way it is shouldn't all videos including the riders sponsors be deleted too ?

isitafox Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Tartybikes and Trialshop pay a fair bit of money towards the running and upkeep of the forum. The site you linked to would be considered as a competitor to Tartybikes hence the reason for removal. It's all pretty clear and straightforward in the Guidelines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaccJosh Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) I'm here in the states, and like these guys say there's some nice parts but the frame is a bit older geometry. What you other guys maybe don't know is 1gbp (1 quid?) is about 1.61 us dollars currently (two or three weeks ago actually made a purchase from tartybikes) so his $625usd is about 390gbp. And the hubs new are almost that... I think it sounds like a decent deal. And I payed more for my first trials bike.

dngr2self Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 It's hard to say because the second hand market is different in the states. The price seems a bit high to me. I'd expect to pay about 250gbp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnthebiker Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) All the components are great, frame could be upgraded eventually if you wanted. It's a great deal. I'd say go for it! Edited November 15, 2014 by jnthebiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
