Craigwt Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I've been on the hunt for something like an old Reign/Trance/Shova etc bike or frame in large, but they seem to have all vanished. Was hoping someone on the hub would know of a secret shop somewhere that might still have something old and cheap laying around. Perhaps someone here has one laying in the garage that they're too lazy to sell? Been reading through the "Your Enduro Ride" thread and want to get me something cheap and nasty together... ok, not too nasty... Anyone with words of wisdom?
Alouette3 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Anyone who owns a 26er Trance or Reign knows better then to sell it! GoLefty!!, Dan Dob, porqui and 2 others 5

Grebel Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) Anyone who owns a 26er Trance or Reign knows better then to sell it! Or any long travel 26" trail/AM machine for that matter... Looks like I was wrong.... Edited October 30, 2013 by Grebel
Craigwt Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 Anyone who owns a 26er Trance or Reign knows better then to sell it! Hahaha... I knew I was going to get an answer like that. Sounds like you have one.... Maybe you should sell it? do the whole 650b thing... cmon..
Baracuda Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Very true. After buying and selling a 29er etc. I am back on my old 26er and loving it. The shops are trying to their utmost to convince us that 26ers are useless - "make a windmill out of it at AfricaBurns"But they actually just fine and good for purpose.

Craigwt Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 http://www.thehubsa....ce-x-26-medium/ Thats a medium Or any long travel 26" trail/AM machine for that matter... Looks like I was wrong.... Yeah, they're very very scarce unfortunately...

Craigwt Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 A cheap Shova frame !!! Nice try . well, there was a Shova for 11k on the hub, but it was a medium. Thats a lot cheaper than buying a frame for 16k as a starting point Cash crusaders Do they have anything worth while? The ones I walk by usually have rubbish.
fanievb Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 every one is holding on to them until this new "craze" is over (they won't admit it though) Izak 1

The one is a small, would love the 20k one.. but dam, thats a lot of money... busy chatting to the other guy about his... Hoping something comes of it. Do you reckon any of these would be awesome?
Cav' Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Do they have anything worth while? The ones I walk by usually have rubbish.Just kidding. You'll pick up some real neat Nishiki's,Dunlope's though. Reign...Shova.....keep your Eye on thehub classifieds they come around every now and then.
scuzzy Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I guess they're at the same place as the socks and spoons, all of them having a big party
