i think i might have the best UN-ripoff. I got an 07 SXT test bike for $2200. Regular $3900. So i get $1700 off just for a few rides down the sidewalk. hehehehe
you have no idea what happens to test bikes do you...

thats not even that great of a deal. especially since its an older bike as well. last year i had an LBS selling me a 2008 Wilson 3 for $3200 tax-in when they retail for $4500+ tax.

I was having problems with my brakes, the fluid kept leaking, and my local bike shop blead it twice for free and when it still didnt work they ordered new parts from avid and didnt charge me for labour or the cost.Big Grin

Posted an ad wanting a bike.
Was directed to a shop where they had exactly what I wanted for
$650. Some guy was selling it through the shop.
Went and looked at it, was sold. Came back with money a week later.
The guy never called the shop to tell them the price. Shop called him.
He claimed to have never talked to me, but would sell the frame anyways for $750.
So there went my budget for other parts as well... still haven't gotten everything I need to get it rolling.

I currently ride the most expensive scooter ever. Sitting at $1,975.
Still waiting on cranks.

i have actally never "spent" money on a bike. on every bike i have owned i have sold it for more than i have payed for it. my first bike i went half and half with my parents (i was like 14) it was a 2006 kona dawg. i put in 650 bucks. sold it for 850 bucks. bought my 2006 kona coiler (2007 66 ata rc2, dhx 5.0) for 650 bucks (yes, it was an amazing deal!) parted it out. traded the fork for a 2006 fox 40, sold the frame, cranks, rear shock, rear wheel for 550 bucks. used the money and the left over components to buy/build up my 2006 stab supreme. spent around 60 bucks on it when it was done (new rims) sold it for 2400. bought the 2008 demo 7 II. still have not "spent" a dime.


point is, shop around for used stuff. all of my bikes (exept the demo 7 II) have been used. they were great, and got me to the point where i could afford my dream bike. but sadly i will end my streak of not "spending money becuase i will be buying a 2010 boxxer team, mrp g2, sunline v1, straitline levers stem and pedals in a couple months.

I paid $250 for a bike assembly. I could have done it myself but I didnt have the tools, and wanted to ride that night. I had been waiting for the frame for 5 weeks while it was in customs, I got antsy lol.
