$1000 complete
New frame+shock costs/costed over $2000 alone. Must be a pretty quality machine for $1000 complete, don't you think?
Dunno about the ratio thing....2.5" stroke, 7-9" travel, as long as you keep it in the lower travel settings, it should be okay, no? Or am I missing something? Yeah, nice looking machine, but I heard quality control really went down the shitter...but this is probably 5th-hand info, so it's probably pretty accurate

all i get at ride monkey when ever I post anything is,
"Do a search noob"
"Dude, your a noobie, go search, RIDEMONKEY"
"Hey everyone, there is a Newbie, start screening"

thats because its been done to death and if you actually did do some research you would find everything you need to know. Thats why i sent you there, because there's a ton of info on the bike and background on the company in that forum.oreo321321 said:

A bit of friendly advice!
oreo, I think you are going to run out of friends, man. These are used and probably trashed. Every one keeps telling you to get a hard tail and get good. If you are just planning on quiting in a few years what is the point of riding at all? You might start DJing and free riding and find that you can't get enough. I can't think of anyone I know that just quit one day (they had reasons, usually money related). It's usually like some kind of drug.
Buying a used bike is not like buying a used car. And buying a used freeride or downhill bike may be one of the last mistakes you can make. If you ride it hard it will die. Damage occurs often where you can't see it. If you really plan on getting into it do yourself a favor and listen to what everyone has been saying... if your stem shatters and your picking your teeth out of your face.. well.
