Mountain Biking - hello

hey ive been riding trails with my dad, who i think has a account here. but um i just wanted to get a opinion on this mt bike. currently im riding my 04 Haro F4 its for the streets, all i did to it was put some cheap mountian tires on it... but im looking at this 00 specialized Stumpjumper FSR XC.

And how much do you think i can sell my haro for? bought it for like $350.

i would say the stump jumper is good at that price, esp. if everything is in working condition. Go get it.

As for your haro... i doubt you'll get much. I haven't sold too many bikes in my lifetime, but I've heard that you usually sell for less than 50% of purchase price, esp. if it's old. If i'm wrong, I hope another BF member sets me straight :).

You can't go wrong for $250 only. Unless it is a totally ragged-out thing that needs a new rear shock and a fork. If both are working decent, I'd grab it if I were you.
Good Luck.

Sunshine!! We will sell your Haro F4 for whatever we can get out of it. Eventually, we will get a Mt. bike for you, the bike will properly fit you. I am enjoying riding with you, please keep it up.:thumb:

Ohhhhhhhhhh...thats is sooooooo sweet.

*wipes tear from 66's eye*

lol sure

Keep your old bike. Its not worth selling. You can lend it to friends so they can come on a ride with you. Its a lot better than selling it for how much you could sell it for.

alright. ill just see wat happens. depends if i want to buy this bike im looking at.
