alright, so my best friend bought a 04 p2 a while back. he rides moderatly, mostly dj,trail and some downhill stuff. the p2 he got was stock and its pretty dead right now. he has some money saved up. he has 700 dollars and he is just about to go get a kona shred. he just doenst really want to spend a lot of money on the p bike, just because really, when hes done upgrading it, its still not going to be worth much. he doesnt have a job currently, so money is an issue
the problem: what his plan was, was to buy a kona shred, then sell the p2 to buy some nicer parts for the kona, such as a new fork + some wheels maybe. figure hes probably going to get about 3-4 hundred for the p2. what ive been telling him is that he should just ride the kona stock till something needs replaceing. and to keep the p2 since its an okay frame to build a budget bike off of.
in this situation what would you all do
I feel bad because the p2 fell completly apart on him, but the p2 he got was ridden really hard....so it was allready really floppy.
should he maybe keep the p2 and get the shred, and if he has to sell some of the parts from the p2 to beef up the shred ? he really doesnt want to put any money into the p2 anymore, because their just cash pigs.
sorry for this being so long ... but what should he do ?
advice, pictures, different ideas welcome.
