Best buys?
everything really...
bought a cheap stinky, upgraded the parts, bought a cheap old banshee, put the old parts on it and sold it... made huge profit.
then used that profit to buy my new banshee, put the new parts on it, sold the old frame. more profit.

bought a 2007 stuff for $100, dob frame for 300, upgraded and sold off parts. bike half paid for itself.

Worst? uhm... 83mm howitzer bb that I didnt need?

Well, I may as well post.

Best: Full custom 2006 Norco Atomik

Worst: Cannondale F7. I used it for everything besides what it's made for (XC). Now I use it as a Trials bike and yet it still fails..

my best was trading my old jr.t for my current frame and shock (Rocky Mountain RM7fr)

my worst which was actually good was my first bike (2002 Norco Fluid with fresh rebuild on everything, new tires, new juicy 5s, and a few aftermarket bits) I paid 800 for it and later sold it with hayes 9s for 565

Haha no, not at all. And plus, I think it's me that fails at trials more than the bike.

My brother was actually going to buy a Black Diamond. He got an Ironhorse Sachem 6.0 instead.
