Ruined my Rockhopper - need used recommendation
I crashed my Rockhopper and bent the frame. Most of the components are
in good shape so I could move them to another bike if necessary. It's about 4 years old. I started pricing components and quickly determined that it would be cheaper to get a used bike than to try and fix mine. The frame needs to be replaced, as do a few components. I'm currently out of work, so I need something cheap. Another Rockhopper in good condition would be fine, but I can't seem to find one - at least not for a reasonable price. Need to stay in the $250 range or under. I do mostly off road riding, mostly logging or fire roads, but some narrow trails as well. Often up and down steep grades, riding in mud all winter long. So I need something that can withstand a lot of dirt. I occasionally ride on pavement, but street riding is not a consideration. Any ideas on what might be a great bargain? Also, any idea where to find a good selection of used bikes? Not much out on eBay, and shipping will be high. There must be millions of people selling mountain bikes they never use. (Where are they? I want your unused bike!!) Note that I'm in Portland, OR. Thanks, Dan |

Thanks, Dan Oh, oh, let me be first......Ebay my friend, Ebay. The glorious unfetterd markeplace that Adam Smith only dreamed of. Just make sure you check the seller feedback first. Ask questions, know what you're getting, and verify shipping before you bid. Good luck! Tom (wife's an ebay junkie) |

I would offer that patience will pay off in that regard. Shipping is shipping, you're not gonna get around that unless you can pick something up local. I can't seem to bring up eBay at the moment, but I gotta figure there's a cheap used from that you can pick up on the cheap that's much better than your damaged 'hopper. Keep lookin' Tom (didn't rtfp) |
