Given that its never been off-road.. you should get some good money for it.

You would have to pay me to take that monstrosity off of your hands.

There's a Kona sort of similar to yours on the local craigslist...they had been asking $1500, price now dropped to $1k... Not sure how its condition compares to yours, though...

that big of a frame usually brings less... mediums usually sell for more. I'd say 800 - 1100 somewhere in there. what year is the frame?

2006. The parts are all 05 mostly 06.

I put about 50-100 miles on it off road, bought a road bike, and decided I don't want this anymore. It has probably at least 5 nicks or paint scrapes, but the frame is in great condition.

How much would I have to pay you? Would it be similar to the price I should ask for the bike? if so how much? Thanks for the help.

Yep, in california we pave the roads with rocks.

Luckily, I only rode it about 6 or 7 times so other than my neglegence to clean off the mud which caused some paint flake, it's in good condition.

Didn't you die on that rock garden?

Yep.

I posted it on CL for 1000$ and no ones biting. People are looking for great deals, I fear I may have to go down to 800.

$1.23

Nice line in that rock garden.

I could see a couple easier lines, but hey :D

Give you a stick of gum and my Smartrider.

Is that a helmet shaped like a bandana?

...............it had to be said.

At least you know ONE bolt was tightened on that bike.

Haha. I'm just messing with you, Jon.

Do they make clipless compatible Chuck Taylors??!?!?

Feeling like I might be old enough (and sore enough) to rate a squishy but that's too big for me.

Send me a link to your CL listing and I'll pass it around here... I know some tall people.

Does the bike have rim strips installed?

Do they make clipless compatible Chuck Taylors??!?!?That would be AWESOME!

In this case, she got sponsored by Converse last year; those are a pair of stickered-over PF Flyers. :D

What would Jon do without you.

Happy belated birthday, Siu.

put that pic of siu on cragslist ... that window dressing will sell it for sure.

For that poorly assembled heap, $350 max.

I literally rode it probably 3 times.

Poseur, defined.

Just what I was thinking.

The parts alone individually is worth more than 350, despite the mismatched parts. You're advice is taken with a grain of salt.

Luckily, I have someone interested in it at 800.

Shall I close?

Thank goodness.

Thread closed.

I dig the fly lacing on those Chucks.

Me too. The "clipless Cons" comment reminded me of a thread a while back on MTBR "20 miles on a fixie in pumps" ala some high heels with custom -built-by-husband-in-the-shed cleat fixings on the bottom. It could be done to cons too.
