Where are all the old 26er Bikes/Frames?

Recommended Posts

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. :ph34r: :)

 

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?

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....

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.

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 :P

 

Cash crusaders

 

Do they have anything worth while? The ones I walk by usually have rubbish.

I have contacted 2 of these. 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?

I have not ridden them, but there are strong advocates for these bikes on the Hub
