You are looking at a 2006 Dirt Works Piranha, probably the only one left in existence.Here's a short history of the bike.In 2006 Dirt Works of Southern CA built six of these for their 2006 downhill racing team. Unfortunately two of the frames were destroyed during the heating process.Shortly after the 2006 racing season was over, Dirt Works closed it's doors. This was Rob Taylor's personal bike ( the founder and owner of Dirt Works). I acquired it and removed all of the original components and built it up again using my own high end components including a brand new World Cup Boxxer ($1,699.00) and a new Fox rear shock as well.Since then this bike has never been ridden, not even once! Not wanting to damage the bike in any way, I set it aside and went on a national search to hopefully find another one for riding purposes.Approximately two years later by some miracle, I found a second one that was in the San Francisco Bay area.This one was not in the greatest of shape.I used it for as long as possible and decided to retire it. I still have many of the original parts which will go to the new owner. These came in two frame sizes S/M and M/L. If you are unfamiliar with this bike, know that it was rated as one of the five greatest downhill bikes ever produced by Mountain Bike Action Magazine. Also known for having the highest bottom bracket stand over clearance of any production bike ever made. For serious inquiries, I can provide a full list of the bike's components. Since my racing days are over, I will also include a brand new Nashbar heavy duty professional work stand. I bought this over twenty years ago and it went into storage, as my bike tech took care of all my bike's mechanical needs The condition of this bike is near mint.For additional pictures of anything you'd like to see, please ask. Thank you.
