considering your pricing and the fact that im 2nd year engineering student with a 8.5 GPA that i busted my ass for. im pretty sure you've got quite the challenge ahead of you. you jerkoff
well i do, ive busted my ass off and gotten farther then i could ever anticipate and im proud as hell so you know what..... enjoy selling your old school pos norco. ill enjoy riding my orange pimped with chris kings and your mom
come on man be realisitic it's 9 years old.. prices CHANGE you can get a 2007 fully loaded demo for that price... ( when the right time comes ) like no one wants them anymore...
300 for the fork? I wouldn't even put that on my Huffy! It would make it look bad! Your also saying your smarter then a guy with an 8.5 GPA as you spelt school, "skool". I wouldn't even pay 5$ for this, this... what ever it is? Mine as well take it to the scrap yard cause thats the most you will get for it.
"engineer" = only know how to do math, i can't spell worth shit. plus im bilingual so its not easy to master 2 languages, i do my best in both but clearly its not as easy as just knowing one language. grammar = bitch.
okay first things first This is a 1999 Norco VPS-1
second it has 4-5" of rear travel
third if you payed 2300 New then you got ripped the f*ck off and im not to sure how you managed to get 2300 in the first place when you would have been 12
forth if i wanted to spend 1200 on a bike i would buy a used Demo 8
last but not least, before posting an ad make sure you know how to spell.
ill give you my snot covered tissue and a wad of scrap paper.
1) i am ashamed to have such a retard living in canada. (plz dont judge all canadian citizens as retards cuz of this dumbass) 2)I am ashamed to have such a retard living in B.C. (plz dont judge all people from B.C as retards cuz of this dumbass) 3) I am ashamed to have such a retard living in the okanagan( same as brackets above) 4) Most of all i am ASHAMED to share the same name as this retard!!! (i am curently filing papers for a name change)
Yah dude this bike is ancient now. Also some of your info in the buy/sell add is wrong, it's 5" of travel not 6', and this is from 2001 not 2003, and if you paid $2400 for it new you got taken mate, msrp on this bike was $1450 brand new.
yeah right.. 200$ chainguide, 400$ forks(back in the day) and 75$ odi grips really make a 2001 bike worth 1200$.... NOT used value of these parts nowadays: fork: 120$, brakes: 50$ for both, stem/bars: 30$ both, crankset: 75$, chainguide: 75$, frame: 150$, wheels: 100$ if lucky, shifter/deraileur/cassette: 45$, grips:20$, seat 40 if you got proofs that it was benders, tires: 20$ each new total: 745 in PARTS which would be 500$ max complete... don't believe me look around pinkbike... you can get stock 06 stinky for 1000$ whixh are WAY better than you POS...
even if you upgrade something. U arnt adding that to total msrp, u kinda gotta subtract the other shit u took off. and your bike is a peice of shit. I just got a 08 Demo 8, with components nicer than u have ever seen......for 1700. would u rather get my bike for 1700 or save 500 and get this peice of shit
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, okay, first of all, this was MY bike. i bought it used for 800 bucks from outbound cycle on the westside. i rode the shit out of it for about 2 years, and sold it to some kid from langley or something for 850! hahahaha, those pictures there are from my old house, 1624 blondeaux crescent, go look lol. so i dont know who this kid is, he doesnt really seem like he knows anything about the bike, could be a scam.
Your going to continue to be flamed until you stop being stupid and selling it at the msrp price. An Item DROPS its value once it has another owner, especially if the other owner(s) has riddin the shit out of it. In this case, this bike has had 4 owners. Including you. AND Its a f*cking 2001. If I buy a 2001 honda civic for $20 grand new, use it till 2010, It Will NOT sell for $20 grand again. This is basically what you did. Want to see what a $1400 bike looks like? www.pinkbike.com/buysell/575539 OR www.pinkbike.com/buysell/572777.
$200 for a seat and chain guide. wtf. You can buy that same chainguide from caps, the 2010 one, for f*cking $50. and that is a $150 seat? dont think so. I dont care if josh benders ass has sat on it, you can get a selle-italia seat for $60.
wow e-fighting about walmart saying a crappy bike from 2001 worth as much as new and had a few owners and whered u get i cant go to wal mart r u that desperate
No......Just the people who ride them suck. Your being and ignorant asshole. Show me a 2007 or newer stinky that has broken........Stinkys are built really well
new stinkys dont snap anymore because they are massively overbuilt. my mate has an 09 stinky and it is like nearly twice the weight of mine (2010 Norco DH)
Haha, nz-brendan's comment "y would i have a stinky if i hate them?" Read that and down. If I didnt know that you were talking about Kona's, I would be laughing so hard!
He doesn't even know it's a VPS Buzz, he just calls it a VPS, and he thinks it's 2003 because he got it in 2003 which at one point he says he got it new in 2003 but he bought it used off of another pinkbike user...Also it's apparently "Like new" but you can see all the scratches on the fork and frame, and it's an old ass square taper crank...Stop trying to scam people moron...Also you spelled really, inches, your(twice), and negotiable wrong in the ad...
joeylansdown (Jan 1, 2010 at 21:51) i bought mine new in 03 so wutever
oryxbike (Jan 2, 2010 at 23:31) HAHAHA you're really a jackass... it really is transitionpreston's old bike AHAHAHAH
not only are you actually 12 (becuase you think trucks are shit becuase of their paint job) have a 5 pound uni, and think you could kick my ass...your also a scammer? wow...thats low.
My V10 has Benders old shifters, derailleur, bars, cranks, and seat post. The only thing I couldn't get was his old seat for some reason? Oh well, so what do ya think want to trade still?
Lol I am not taking it the wrong way, I am a smart guy from England, currently doing my Masters of Science in Kinesiology, riding a Demo 9 Pro. You are a mouthy little git who lies about where he gets the things he sells, and about bikes he pretends to own. There are at least 50 people here saying you are the loser lol. Drop the price and sell the bike, or don't, because if it sells then we can't come here and make fun of you. And frankly it's a blast mate.
does any body actually realise this kid isnt been serious? for all the agrressive replies to him i think half of pink bike must be retarded to take him so seriously. go ahead neg prop me
My money is on dill hole too mate, that single picture of that "Kona" he has is clearly fake too, that picture was taken in Europe. You can tell by the van in the background...its a VW Eurobus or whatever they are called hahahahaha. I love how he keeps trying to say his bike his new, then we find out he bought it used, hahahaha, what a wanker.
Coming from the same moron that thinks Kona is the best brand there is. Machine made frames, vs. Hand crafted in the UK. You might want to get tested, your picture makes you look like you might have a little bit of down syndrome.
effing sick bike man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just have to ask...... Would you trade for my 2010 Giant Glory with a brand new Fox 40 fork? It's only seen about 5 rides and has tons of upgrades. I'm into it for close to $6000. Please let me know, the pictures of the bike are on my profile.
ok Can i just say that you said you brought it new in 03" for 2450 or what ever you said. POS. OK first up. this bike has had 4 previous oweres. yo ugot it for 850 bucks, and now you are trying scam all these people. GTFO OFF PINK BIKE NOW!
"dude if yor not buyin it dont comment". I don't think anyone's buying it!!!! It's just so fun to make fun of you because you won't stop responding! You're a liar!! It's been proven a dozen times! You're like a young version of a sleezy used car salesman, but retarded.
It's a combination of the picture vs. what you say on here. The lies you tell about the bike, one second saying you got it new and it is still like new, then the next second we find out you bought it off another PB user. The bike is destroyed mate, and everyone in the world thinks you are a moron. Drop the price and sell it and buy a real bike. Good luck.
Hey guys i got a 1999 specialized FSR pro, BUT i bought it new in 2005! Im askin $3000 for it, but if you msg me today ill give you a deal of $3200!!!! check it out :
so how would you know your a better rider than ac926 if its been sitten in a garage for a long time? also what type of bottom bracket does it have also have all the pivots been rebuilt?
Ripped seat, square taper crank, un-sealed bearing pivots, Deore derailleur, 3 inch long stem. You can have my little sisters old tricycle, straight trade.
ahah holy shit that is soo funny... you must know a dude .. i dont remember his name he needed 888 wc to do a 2 feet drop yea..... PEOPLE NOT ALL CANADIAN ARE LIKE THIS ahahah... the only thing i have for this bike right now is euhm 2 skittles and one purple jelly bean... ooh yea and btw whats the weight on that beauty
and your f*cking 2001 norco piece of shit isnt? and stfu. you ride a f*cking piece of shit alluminum kona. I could dent one by dropping a pebble on it. Literally. My friends with kona supremes have dented them by just dropping a pebble on them.
No disrespect dude just a heads up.. look at the one in my profile..I paid $300 for it for my daughter. Mind you your parts are a lil better but... good luck to ya bro!
I sold a VPS Team with Monster T's, Hayes 9's, and mostly XT drivetrain for $400. If you really want to sell this bike, you should drop the price a bit..... Maybe down to $250 if you're lucky.
this is too funny ) i would try to sell it for 400, but the problem is if you downhill, there is no point paying for the gear, lift ticket and the gas to ride something like this it's like going to the alps to ride 1989 snowboard ))
actually , may not to that extend, but there are a lot of bikes here that people are not able to sell here for over a year, simply not realizing that their bikes are not worth that much money anymore
man u gotta be the most retarted person whos page iv visited like holy shit i have a 2004 kona stinky with BRAND NEW MARZOCHI 66 like only 3 rides on it and i wouldnt even sell it for this much. i mean if u really wanna sell this wash it, wax it, and take it toa abike shop for a full overhaul then lower the price to like 600 cuz thats the absolute most ur gonna get. for f*cks sake my fork is worth more than ur bike.
during the welding process their is small stresses in the frame. the frame tubing is subjected to these constant stresses known as creep (weld heats metal and expands then retracts when cooled causing stress) . believe it or not but creep ( stress(time), weakens the material and is the reason why such things have a lifespans used or not used. bike frames are obviously strongest wen brand new, were as the same frame that's been sitting " even though never used" will in fact be subject to longer creep that can cause the ("crystalline lattice" to slip planes , as well as interstitial substitutions in the metal lattice. this produces stress risers). i thought this was really interesting learn t it in my materials class thought id share it with everyone..
this is why we do heat treatment, heat treatment arranges the lattice and gets ride of these stress riser areas " uniforms the material, relaxes it kinda idea"
still it doesn't have the geo of an 03 so IS NOT AN 03, it's still an 01... my boss has a brand new 07 harley davidson that has never been fired or moved on it's wheels(0m on everything), does it make it a 2010? no it's still an 07!
thats cos our cardboard boxes are plated with gold
but seriously, u should definately take the offer from snickkers
an offer like that wont come along every day
yea first off i have the same bike its a 2001 norco buzz stop making them in 2001 and no way in hell you your going to get what you want sorry to say but there are nice bikes to ride
You know what...this ad has created more responses than any other ad I've seen in my life. f*ckin hillarious dude you made everyone on here shit a brick, thats pretty cool. "Kudos"
this isnt a sick bike. Its a total piece of shit. You probably think its the shit cause you have no experience riding a newer bike. You only have a piece of shit aluminum kona and a 2001 norco buzz.
that is one of the ugliest bikes in the world!! lets see i'll trade you my wal mart special that could ride about 10000X better than that POS haha you might be a joke...
My favourite part was when he said this piece of shit and his fake Kona were better than the guys Orange Patriot hahahahahahaha UK RIDES ALL THE WAY!!!
I call BS that you dont have a kona. And how the f*ck could you have bought it new when you bought it off another member off of here. I know the dude who had this bike. I put on most of the parts. guess where the parts came from? a cracked POS 1999 kona stab.
omfg! wtf is this retards problem??????!?! i bought my specialized p3 07 MODEL in 09, with mtx33rims, nsbike rotary 16 hub. an dj3 forks. for........ wait for it.... waiiiiiitttt for it. 1600 !!! woaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
You keep on talking about all these upgrades and you dont even tell us about them. Put up a full spec list and u cud impress us all, maybe that fork is really a 2010 Fox Float just in disguise to make it look shit.
actually no i dont, but you do. how do you think some one will pay, what 1200 for this artifact? and no just because i said artifact doesnt make it worth anything more unlike somethings that get old and their price goes up, but not this bike... its more like dirt... its old... its pretty much worthless... and its almost useless, unless its ground up into finer particles of matter and used as a foundation for a house/building, or even making jumps =D! BUT dont give your hopes up, keep trying to sell it! and good luck, cause we all know you'll need it.
www.pinkbike.com/buysell/574204 there a bike 2 years newer then yours, has WAY better components, and is way cheaper, care to explain why your bike is worth so much?
why dont you just stop everybody knows you dont have a stinky why would you even choose to lie about that bike at least say you have something worth any value
no i said take both zeros off so 12 dollers but yeah put it for 120 you will actrully get intressed and not abunch of people lipping you saying its a peice and you cant get 1200 for it
dude ill tell you what. I will spend $10 of my own hard earned money and give you a free ride to the dump so you can drop off this piece of shit, AND ill even help you pick out a shiney new bike from the dump! come on you cant refuse!
O.k. o.k. props to you joeylansdown for trying to irratate all these people thats pretty funny,good joke. No one is actually that stupid,for the fact that your bike was barely 1200 when it was a shiney new P.O.S.
This is literally the funniest shit on Pinkbike. I'm serious read this from top to bottom and you will piss your pants laughing. Screw Pedro, Joeylansdown for PREZ!!!
haha probably! do you wanna join to? ill get a sign up sheet going on pinkbike xD Rules: 1) You can bring eggs, paintball gun, toilet paper, and paint bombs,preferably no guns.) 2) If he or his dad comes out paintballers aim for the nuts. 3) If his mom comes out aim for the face. 4) If he has a hot sister (low chance) shes mine. 5)Have fun!!!
that was 7 years ago dude. if i go buy a new car in 2003 for 15000 bucks, in 7 years, do you think i will be able to sell it for 15000 bucks? no. things decrease in price as they age, and even more when they are used.
this bike is 9 years old, and is simply not worth 1200 dollars. look at this bike. you have to admit that it is in way better condition then yours, and he wants 700 dollars less for it. do you not see this?
big whoops i wount sell it for 15000 i would sell it for 7g's just like im not sellin this for 2300 im sellin it for 1200 so everything u siad makes no sence
if you act the way you do on here, in your real little world, then i wouldnt doubt your parents wanting you gone. i along with half of PB want you gone off this site.
yeah i know all about this guy's stupidity. im at that point where it actually kinda piss's me off everytime i have to have a convo with him.
only reason i started this one was to talk some sense into this poor retard, and see why he honestly thinks he could get 1200 dollars for this peice of shit bike.
you would be riding down A-line and see blood and be like wtf?.... then see a rear shock and a shoe and be like wow what happened?.....then see a shattered frame and this guy with broken arms and be like HAHAHA still think you can get $1200 for your bike?
Less, this POS is worth nothing. Although i would like to say two things; 1) I have laughed so hard at this page that i passed out. and 2) "Joeylansdown" Shut up. you are doing your self harm. typing the way you are, gives us all the Feeling that you can;t speak or spell english.
well considering if you buckle the wheel the v break wont work and they arnt as powerful hence why all downhill/freeride bikes have hydrolic breaks with rotors
i hope your joking, you can get a way better bike for that. this bike is worth about $80. Trust me, look for something else oh, haha your joking...nice
Ha i'd rather ride wat i got then have your bike if i had your piece of shit i prob would ride it off a fuckin cliff and shoot my self in the face. Your bike is a fuckin discrace to all riders out there. Do us all a favour and just take it off here already.
