What is this mess...
So, I was doing my daily scan of craigslist (greatest site ever) and came across this:
https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/bik/278295781.html
What is it? Gester? Sounds like x-mart, but I dunno. I'm 2 years into MTB and still riding an entry level Trek 4300... I don't know crap unless it's a Schwinn from the 70's...

I've never heard of Gester either, but looking at the picture it's definitely a Pacific Bicycles product. I've seen that frame at Walmart, K-mart, Target, etc.
Hehe...apparently a bent rim is an easy fix these days. Ah the wonders of technology.

He alos said he's not sure wether or not it is the seal. He said it could be the whole rear shock may need to be replaced.

Crap as in Pacific crap or entry level crap or out of this world crap? I mean, crap is used on this site to describe everything, and honestly, sarcasm doesn't translate to me well on the internet... I am kind of inept to the inside jokes and inner workings of here. So if you could clarify on which kind of crap the frame in question is, that would rock.

I find the word "crap" to be pretty descriptive. The bike performs poorly all across the board.

It would make a good beater bike. I wonder if the suspension actually works? You could put street tires on it and have a nice smooth ride over poorly maintained streets for commutes.

I'll sell you a nice Yeti AS-X . . . I'd even get on the ferry and deliver it to Bainbridge
