wanted - mountain bike, by ABC on Sept 1, 2008 13:03:47 GMT 1, Anyone got a half decent mountain bike gathering dust in the shed or garage? cash or swaps but do not want anything to pricey as It's just for taking the kids out once in a while. Was looking for the likes of Cannondale, trek etc etc.

All Marins in the UK are assembled in my hometown of Hastings. If you can show that you are a resident, you can get approx. 50% off the price on a local deal thing.
I have always had them but fancied a change. To be honest, Marins are better IMO than Orange.

If you want 2 find sick deals, on sick bikes, you must go 2 mtbr.com... It's gotta similar/simple forum set-up, as most.
You'll find the best Mt. bike sh1t on there, 4 short money!
And IMO, if you want a stout DH bike, and you aren't overly concerned with being ultra-light(I've found that a bit of weight is needed with DH bikes, gives far better control in the air), you gotta check out the Santa Cruz frames. Their V-10 is the bees-knees 4 DH!!! It has the VPP(virtual pivot point) technology. And, their Heckler is a great free-ride frame!
However, if you want an invincible tank to take care of business... You need a Karpiel Armageddon!
Please accept my recommendation as being fairly credible. I live in Huntington Beach, CA(widely known as the mecca for pro bike riding/riders). My brother races semi-pro class DH in the Norba and Sea Otter nationals.
I've been a big dirt rider for decades, mainly 20in(bmx frame) dirt jumping. About 5yrs ago, I started playin' around with DH... I found it to be blow-your-hair-back type INSANE!!!!
It's fun as f@ck... but a hobby that's just as expensive as the art hobby. So, unless you're rockin' deep pockets, it'll cripple you quicker than ridin' a sh1tty bike down a super-sick, super-fast tech trail!
Good Luck, man!
And, just get out and ride!

wanted - mountain bike, by ABC on Sept 4, 2008 22:01:04 GMT 1, Thanks for the advice. I got deal of the century today. I've just bought a Claud Butler for ยฃ23, It's nearly mint too. I know its not the Rolls Royce of the bike world but it will do me fine. By the way Ebay is not always the best place to look, this proves that.
