Great XC ride. All around fun bike.
Just looking to downsize and she gets used the least these days.

loved my 2001 26" Rockhound, just retired for an Advocate Hayduke. Geo was dialed and rode well can't imagine they've screwed it up by updating it. Great bike Have fun

Anyone else have thoughts on the value of the bike?

Seems expensive, Gunnars don't hold their value particularly well. Frame only, it's worth maybe $500. And with every Gunnar, expect:

- the paint will chip very easily
- the seat post will slip
- tire clearance is just so-so

They can ride very nicely, depending on the size. I've had four Gunnars, and the smaller sized one rode great, but the larger frames were too stiff (they use size specific tubing) (the fourth was a cross bike, which also rode very well)

Thanks for the info, that helps.

What number would you put on it?

 

[seat_boy]

$1200? I can't say for sure, since I mostly buy only bare frames, not complete bikes. As always, you can check ebay completed listings for the best indication of value.

There are three currently listed on eBay, though i think they all are 26ers. One claims to be never ridden.

I have a Gunnar Street Dog. I picked up the frame/fork and a few parts for $45 I think. It was very street, as in it took me a month and a torch to get the seat post out. But I gathered up the needed parts and had the frame and fork powder coated and now it is a great bike.
