atilla Posted October 15, 2010 Share and the most important part? ...price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowellingWulf Posted October 15, 2010 Share That bike looks as old as the mountains. I would not pay much more than R3k-R3.5k for it. Even that seems a bit expensive since a decent service on the bike will set you back a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerus Posted October 15, 2010 Share R2500 max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenDL Posted October 15, 2010 Share R2500 max Agreed, bike needs lots of work, see rear shock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewF Posted October 15, 2010 Share He was asking 7k, but i've got him down to 3.6k... I know it's old. I own a Commencal meta 5.5 - this bike is a gift for a good mate (want to get him into the sport) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewF Posted October 15, 2010 Share Agreed, bike needs lots of work, see rear shock... Apparently both shocks have been serviced in the last year... It may just be dirty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own a Commencal meta 5.5 - this bike is a gift for a good mate (want to get him into the sport) Hes havin a laugh for 7k,even 3.6k is too much. Even he knows he was takin a chance at 7k. Walk away I say, look for something else. How much were you planning to spend anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRob Posted October 15, 2010 Share Ja I reckon about R2500 max. It looks "well used". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much were you planning to spend anyway? Well, as stated, it's a gift for a mate. So not keen to spend more than 4k at the most... Specs wise, the bike looks fairly decent. Reckon the fork isn't too bad??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRob Posted October 15, 2010 Share If the shock has been serviced then ask him where and through whom. This sounds and look dodgey .If the oke had at least TRIED to clean and service the bike then it'd look like he is serious, but with a photo like that, mmmmm.... Walk away I say.

chris_w_65 Posted October 15, 2010 Share That bike is a 2002 model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerus Posted October 15, 2010 Share Maybe suggest to your mate you will pay R4000 and he contributes a bit to it too. Then possibly get something better from the hub. Youre a nice mate by the way, I wont even let my mates borrow my other bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok - so the story is, he is a mate of my CEO. Couple months ago fell at Emmarentia and ended up in ICU for 2.5 weeks. Broken ribs, collar bone, collapsed lung - HARD CORE. Now getting out of MTB'ing So know he's not a dodgey guy at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
