Is it a bad idea to buy an old FS bike for a first FS bike?
I noticed a 2002 Giant NRS ($400/obo) & 2001 Giant XTC AC1 ($250).
People are selling off their toys for extra $$ to buy gifts and there may be some good deals coming up.
I recently got a 2007 Fisher Wahoo and don't need a FS. But if the price is right, I'm thinking.....why not?
They have Rock Shox components so I'm thinking that they will need a rebuild and kits are available.......but I hear RS is leak prone even after a rebuild (at least the front shocks).
Boy - as I write this down the more I think this is a bad idea due to the supposedly leak prone RS suspension.....I'd rather be riding instead of fixing bikes.
Pass on them? Thanks!!
