Mountain Biking - 2004 Specialized HR Comp. Frame. Good price?

Hellllooo! Well..the time has come, where i think im going to get a new frame. **moment of silence** Anyways, a 2004 Specialized Hardrock Comp. frame popped up on pinkbike for a nice 150$! I'm assuming it's a good deal, but what u all think?

Its a 2003.

^oops...typo. sorry about that.

Its a 2003.

Ops, accidently posted but I have more to add. First of all, what size are you looking for?

Secondly, are all of your components compatible with that frame? If not it means extra cash you'll have to shell out.

I know someone in Missisauga that selling a 2003 19" Hardrock Comp(same one as the pic) for $130 and it includes a Ritchey headset, Specialized Crank and Shimano BB, Seatpost and seat, and a few other goodies?

i really want to get his crankset, and perhaps front derailer. But generally speaking...my old crank, and Avilio front derailer SHOULD fit. Basically that's all im worried about. Everything else should fit just fine....

wait a sec....

Missisauga? 130$? all that stuff included? Hey man! I want that deal!!! Is he still selling it?

Ill send him a msg but don't get your hopes too high. Specialize requires a 34.9 front der and a 30.9 seatpost so i doubt your diamondback has that

I wouldn't buy it... looking at the setup that bikes been through urban/dirtjump/trials hell... as beefy as those frames look and all, they aren't really intended for that.

Yeah, i've been beggining to have second thoughts. My dream frame is an Orange ORYX Desert Dueler, like this one! If ANYONE knows ANYONE who is selling one of these, PLEASE TELL ME! (doesent have to be orange, but would love it if it was) :)

Hey I was thinking of grabbing that haha...I saw that same add...for 150$ cdn you can't go wrong. Even if it is beat to crap the parts are worth more.

I know a dealer in my area ;)...

YOU KNOW WHERE TO GET AN ORYX FRAME JUST LIKE THAT FOR 150$!?!? FILL ME IN!!! :eek:

Im guessing he means the Hardrock, since he is talking about components and how it might be beat to hell...

The dealer is for oryx....the 150 was for the hardrock...you asked if we knew anywhere selling THAT orange oryx frame...I do...

The front derailer is actually 31.8mm.

The Hardrock Comp and Hardrock are the same frame. For $300 you can get a brand new 04 Hardrock Sport. This will give you everything you need to run. If you need to buy a few components to use the frame the cost will be about even.

--edit---It looks like the $150 you quoted was in canadian dollars. I guess that isnt horrible then if you already have most of the parts.

so you DO know someone selling that frame? (the oryx) Would i be able to have his email, or something perhaps?
