I am under the impression that all of the parts should be compatible with the exception of maybe the crank/bottom bracket. How can I find this out??? I don't need the fork or the seatpost anyway. I guess I see what you mean by saving my money for a year or two and buying a new bike. You get something thats a lot better for..... a lot more money. I see a bike for sale thats probably worth a good $300 if not a little more, the person is
asking $200? If the parts are better then mine and are compatible why not do a switchero and then resell the bike with older parts for as much as I can. Hey it will still have the Marzocchi fork! I may be able to recoupe all of my money or more or maybe a little less. What do you think? I realize I won't be getting a 06-07 bike with mid to upper end parts but what does something like that run? I was wondering if the parts off of that bike are "better then mine enough" to buy, switcheroo, and then try to resell. I am taking your replys as a no. I realize neither bike is a gem but try to stoop down to my level just for a minute. Here are the links again (hers)
