looking for a full sus mountain bike something like a Kona coiler.
also i am quite impoverished at the moment,
anyone?

I know of a lad with a Spesh FSR frame kicking about, and i have a Rocky Mountain Carve somewhere.

What size you looking for? More XC, Enduro, or DH/FR type frame?

NeilMcEoigheann · 02-09-2009 9:15pm

eh somewhere between xc and downhill is that enduro?
i like the idea of large drop offs and hammering downhill sections.
i have a hard tail xc which is amazing but not great for really rough downhill.
what kind of price would your friend let the frame go for?

billy.fish · 02-09-2009 10:24pm

Aye Enduro = riding for long times over all kindsa carp

I dunno, probably not too much.

what size you looking for?

NeilMcEoigheann · 03-09-2009 2:08am

that sounds nice. which FSR is it i think there are a few in the series?
i'm a size 60 on the roadie, think 19.5 on the mtb and i'm 6'1.5" that size?
i'm interested but at the same time its quite price dependent at the moment due to being an unemployed student.

I'm not sure which exactly, ill mail him to find out for you, but if i remember its probably a M frame

will check it out tonight when im over in his.

I reckon he;'d let it go for cheap, hes not riding it at the moment as he loves his Coiler

In the same way that im not riding full sus and loving my HT again

could ask tiny, i know he has a full sus kona that he is thinking of changing for a single spped hardtail...(was a while back)

hey unless he's very charitable or a moron i think its going to be way out side my price range. thanks though.
lovely bike though.

Acoustic · 15-09-2009 8:56pm

whats your price range

NeilMcEoigheann · 15-09-2009 10:42pm

i really can't see it being more than 600 but i really don't know.
mountain bikes are not really like road bikes cos use changes their condition so much more.

Acoustic · 15-09-2009 11:22pm

you wont get anything decent or remotely good for 600 im afraid

NeilMcEoigheann · 16-09-2009 12:18am

i was afraid of that it makes my search rather futile..
although perhaps i'll just save and buy new
cheers for all the comments.

Hey,

I have a GT iDrive frame (large or medium, 2 available) I am selling.

Just bought a Stumpjumper frame and moved all the components over.

I bought the GT earlier this year. I think it is the 2008 model and I will be looking for €200 ono for it.

A friend of mine is looking at it this week, but if he doesn't bite, I'll let you know if you like.

is it full suspension only your after,or would you be interested in a hardtail in excellent condition,never used off road,as new.

kona · 25-09-2009 9:46pm

I could probably sort you out with a Decent full bounce. Brand new GT-idrive XCR5 frame 18" , Rockshox ario rear shock, recon 150mm forks up front. I could probably build you It up to a decent standard with new parts for around the 600-700 mark.

Let me know If your interested, If you just want the frame and the forks I could sort you out for around e300(they are brand new)
