How does it sound beat up?

The bike looks like it is in good condition. If the bike is still for sale, he will probably go much lower. It was listed in November.

Low ball it, toss him a number like $2500

Sounds good! going to use the extra money for Cane Creek DB!
Then sell the fox for new rims, btw can ony one recommend good Dh rims?

 

[Evo.]

Some People use Azonic Outlaws. Maybe something like the Mavic Deemax. They would look sick with the silver/blue. You could also have a set custom built. Chris King, Hope, Hadley all make top notch hubs... There are tons of choices with wheels.

Not sure about the price. But he is defo playing with playing with fire putting the bike on the sofa.

I recently built up Mavic 729s laced to Chris King Isos. Super bomber wheelset! There like your mom, can take a pounding and still ask for more...

I would stay away from Mavic hubs, rims are good though

I was thinking the same thing, either his mom, wife or GF will be like :incazzato:

 

[Pedal Shop]

really, the guy has to put the bike on the leather sofa?
what is that, bike porn?

I'd say no. It used to be that you could sell a highend used DH bike for over 3k, but those days are long gone. Based on what is selling used on the shore, 60% off full retail seems to be the going rate.

The retail side of the industry is a little messed up right now. You should be able to get a new 2010 @ 40-50% off.
