Mountain Biking - this deal

hey guys this guy gave me a deal! on his frame

here it is .......

I trade my 2001 kona roast frame pluss 100 bucks for his 2000 vps 1 frame and he will add hayes mech only if i add 30$

does that deal sound good? and tell me how 200 vps 1 frames are


thanks

Keep the roast, you'll be trading for an older bike, plus who knows what shape it is in.

I agree, keep your frame!

Kona's Rule!

The guy said it is in excellent condition he is local to me i just want to know if the frame is strong and can handle alot of hits.

Not a chance. The roast is sweet.

The frame is strong HOWEVER this is a 2000 dually. Personally I wouldn't do it at all.

i guess but its a dually!!!!!! dual suspensions rock! and they can habndle double crown forks cause of geometry its a tough call and i get a hayes brake with the deal!

and the brakes aare heyaes mech :D

Hayes mechs suck ass. Some of the worst mechs around. I owned a pair and v's are better.

Its a 2000 dually and I believe that was the first year of the frame. If you had asked this 3 years ago I would have said it was worthwhile. But that frame would have to be in MINT (I mean like 2 feet from the box) condition.

Also, do you need this bike. This is a dh/fr bike, its freaking heavy, it fits large (the small is even big) and besides that...its a monster T...HEAVY!!!!...Are you going huge? I am not one to stop someone from riding a ride they may enjoy but sometimes you have to look at the value for YOU.

For everyone that cares here is the bike

That deal sounds really suspicious. If the bike is so great why does he want your Roast?

and the vps is pretty bulky with that u will be pretty limited to what u will be doin on the bike. i would keep ur roast.

never mind i'm getting a 2001 kona stinky frame :D is that frame strong?

Thats the 6in right. Good frame.

Personally I don't do used freeride duallies. They were bought to be abused and it is old. But hey I prefer that stinky over the vps...much easier to build it into a trailbike.

ya its in really great condition but its gonan cost eme 400 cdn o well its worth it :D

Not bad for that frame. As long as it is the right size I would even buy it haha...good fixerupper...

ya so excited :d when i get it he gonan teach me how to liek take care of biek and build ot up so free course on top of that :D
