Is it just me or does the pendbox system on here remind you a bit of a in-board mounted I-drive system???

BB mounted to a floating housing thats attached to both the front and rear triangles?

 

This looks like an I-Drive on a 4bar linkage bike ....

My boss has a 2010 Spicy 516. Such a awesome bike to ride. Told him if he ever wants to sell I'm taking it.

who else has been on a teocali

 

im rather hard on bikes, from bmx and motocross background.

my friends are xc bois and one is on the fence as to what he enjoys. im more xc/freeride/downhill mix

 

seen a deal on a 2007 Teocali elite for 6500 which race face xc cranks, everything else stock. good nick, no major dings or scratches.

 

opinions please

second hand, but still on original tyres. everything feels super smooth from my initial cycle around his driveway.

i think he has had it going on 3 years since new, but no longer rides (dude in his late 40's id say) dare i assume it hasn't been ridden too hard by the look and feel.

for 6500 bucks ... thats a SWEET deal - go for it

thanks for the input.

will be going back to speak to the guy this weekend hopefully.

 

super keen to get a decent bike. have borrowed far too many times recently to avoid buying one haha.

o all right then...

That's a killer colour Wes. I'd go for that. It's the same colour as the Meta 6 AFAIK?

[wesley_r]

Same colour (and similar graphics) to the META AM (and the 6, and the DH team).

 

Here's the final artwork, should have it back sometime next week. No guarantees they'll nail all the decals, let's see how it turns out :clap:
