2/14/2025 7:38pm It's a shit show... You can get really good deals these days so it's hard to sell anything. I have a 23' Trek Fuel EX Gen 6 carbon frame with Factory shock with basically zero miles and full warranty, which is normally 4k in the shop and getting lowballs around $1k...

1/20/2025 4:17pm 2 months ago I bought a new 24' Instinct as my winter project which unfortunately came out of the factory with a long crack in the seat tube. 2 weeks ago I visited a local RM dealer here in PNW (Seattle area) and asked them to submit a warranty claim for me. Within a week they got an answer that...

9/27/2024 9:55pm I have noticed this graphic on the RS shock on an updated (color, spec wise) Smuggler. I have never seen it before, but it might be nothing. Seems like Transition updated a few bikes with new colors and spec, including Vivid shock on the Patrol.

9/26/2024 11:24am My 2c. I started riding bikes around 20 years ago. Still remember buying my first Marzocchi Z1 fork which was around $1k usd at the time. Today, the similar level fork or actually better is priced pretty much same. I remember buying my Banshee Scream frame which was around $2k usd. Or some other frames where the price was around...
Kusa Started a new thread Market is crashing … so how many new bikes you got?
9/26/2024 11:00am Simple as the headline, current market was / is terrible for sellers but also great for the buyers. Many cool deals especially here in the US which is a nice opportunity to hop on a new ride. Curious what you got.

8/14/2024 10:30am Friend saw the new Hightower from a dealer person. No info on geo, only the change around shock position as reported with a change to how frame is wrapped around. I believe same is happening to Bronson too. (Not) Surprisingly Mega and Nomad got a new color scheme so I guess more piles of frames they sit on before pushing...

8/9/2024 9:02pm Kinda feel like a lot of companies will re-think how they want to spend money and instead of putting it into a Russian roulette, they will probably pull out to support something else. What will happen to pros that miss races due to injury and for example will also not be able to be national champs... end of their career...
