Hello everyone,
My name is Eric and Im a bikeaholic. Im new so hello to everyone! I work with mostly used stuff (can't afford the new, expensive stuff) but im always trying to hustle up a deal. Heres the situation, I bought an older 2000 GT xcr 5000 last year and so far I have really enjoyed it. The only thing I have upgrades so far is the fork (marz bomber). I was talking to my neighbor a few days ago and she is selling her Haro escape 8.2, I think its a 2004 and its an XSmall. It seems to be in pretty good condition, some of the screws have surface rust but the components look clean. She says she spent $600 on it a few years ago and would like to get $200 for it. My question is, would it be worth it to buy the bike for the parts to put on my GT. Wheels, disc brakes, freewheel, derailers, shifters, peddles and so on. Here is a link to the component to her bike (link shows medium, hers is a small) http://webmail.aol.com/24126/aim/en-...Inbox&partId=4.

Here is a link to the basic stats on my bike http://www0.epinions.com/bike-Bicycl...ay_~full_specs

Would this be worth the time and money? I am assuming the parts off of an Xsmall Haro frame are the same size as the parts on a medium GT. Please correct me if im wrong. If I put the GT parts on the Haro do you think I could resell it for anywhere near $200? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Eric
