Hey guys thanx for your help, I went and bought a used but mint condition 2001 (I think) Trek 6000, with small bike pump, chain, maybe a helmet later on. $400 Kind of pricey, but I guess it might be worth it, feels good. Fork is a bit weird, cant really shut it off from moving in and out when riding . But i guess it is good for when you hit bumps etc. I think its fairly stock except the handle bar ends.

here are some pictures, WARNING , they are over 1mb each so with cable connections welcome

I think this bike is mostly for XC right? i might jump some curbs / small jumps but I highly doubt it would survive 3ft+ jumps with a 170 lb guy. Time will show, might upgrade some stuff . but for now just going to enjoy riding, feels nice even in cold weather

Looks like a nice bike! I have a 2001 Specialized Rockhopper with that fork, it's not very high-end but it does the job just fine. You might want to try to change the elastomers to firmer ones, if you can find them.When I was riding my Rockhopper a lot I weighed about 130 and I'd bottom out the fork fairly often with the stock elastomers. That would reduce the bobbing up and down while you're riding as well.

$400 sounds a little bit high for a 4-year-old bike, but as you say it does look to be in mint condition. It looks brand new indeed.

guy rode it 2 times , it looks more dirty from being in apartment then from being on street, the tires still have those little rubber things on them . basically brand new, he wanted 600 for it, then 450, and today i just got it for 400, I dont know if good/ or bad, seems reasonable. I think it has decent components. But cant be 100% sure. What are the elastomers? hard to replace? also what does spinning the knobs on top of the fork do? make it softer/harder?

thanx

It looks like an RST. Those knobs are both likely preload.

arboc!

the fork says manitou on it

My Trek 800 Sport has thoes exact brakes, break levers, front derailleur, had that kickstand and various other things.

Btw that seat sucks, I know cause it also came on mine, it cracked then ripped within the first month of riding, so you might want to get a new one now to save yourself the heartache later

Haha I got lazy and didn't bother letting the pic load. In that case I don't know.

Honestly while it's more than I would have paid for it, at least you have a bike now.
