Sounds nice. I assume it's a hardtail? No pics? Not even in the ad? What model fork? What model bike? What year? Hard to evaluate with minimum info.

XT stuff sounds good, that's about it. There are good and bad Marz forks...

Shucks, the old 6" Jr.T is worth half that or more by itself (provided it works right).

Do you grunt and groan a lot when you ride? If not, it might not be the bike for you.

Johnny Law
10-21-10, 06:52 PM
lol, no i dont grunt or groan to much :/

so the bike is defiantly worth 200 bucks? also, what kind of riding would it be for? i mean is it kind of weird to have a double crown fork on a hardtail?

Johnny Law
10-21-10, 06:53 PM
also, is Azonic a good name? Please done give me a googled answer, what kind of rep does it have?

Seriously -- if the frame isn't cracked and the fork and other parts actually work, $200 seems like a fair deal.

I don't have the company history of Azonic on the tip of my tongue, but they're no worse than any other made in Taiwan small brand.

you should really check their website out! its awesome! i know that doesnt have anything to do with the bike, but its cool.

dminor

Azonic is a long-time moto-gear company that branched out into bikes quite a while ago. Most of their frames are decent, if somewhat overbuilt sometimes, by reputable Taiwan 'catalog' frame makers like Hi-Bike, Da-Bomb and SuperTech, IIRC.

Looks like a cool little bike, assuming it's in decent condition. No way is that a 16" though.

I don't know if that's a good deal. Are you an "EGRESIVE" rider? If not, I'd stay away.

Johnny Law
10-22-10, 09:08 AM
so you think its bigger then 16" ?

also, what kind of riding would it be best for? Its a dh fork on a ht, im confused. Anyways, i talked him down to 180.

Zephyr11
10-22-10, 10:20 AM
No, I think it's smaller, somewhere between 13"-15". It's probably a FRHT. Overbuilt heavy thing meant for an "egresive" rider to throw around. That's my guess anyway, I can't tell what the frame is, so I could be wrong.

Johnny Law
10-22-10, 11:05 AM
shoot! so its smaller then 16?

Why don't you just go and see for yourself?

bring a tape measure and when it is wrong talk him down more if you like.

But you expect we'll be able to make this decision for you? Sack up and make the damn drive if you want the bike.

at $250 that seems to be a steal... seriously look under every sticker for cracks. I honestly don't buy private unless i know the people.

Who are the tense guys on here? I tend to think the "tense guys" are the ones with thin skin and a lack of genitailia. Like Hambone40.

well, if they lacked genitailia could they still be a "tense guy" ?
