if i had the money i would easily but this frame of art.it only 100$ more then what you would pay for on the website,with taxes any every thing. and he said he put 40 hours into making this so it is a fair deal for buying this for 550

dude not worth the price because i could get a 2009 riot frame for cheaper that doesn`t have stupid marker designs on it and its used but for some reason u think its worth more then a new frame only because you got ripped off doesn`t mean u should rip other people off its ur fault for buying it in the first place.

First off, if the bike is $400 new, and I'm selling it for $550, that's only $150 more, not $250. Secondly, With tax and everything a new riot frame is about $450, so with the sharpie, your paying an extra $100. That's a fair price.

doesnt make it worth $250 more than he will end up getting for it.

i said than you will get for it, not than it is new,

and its not a fair price at all, i would never pay $100 extra for someone to draw on my frame with a marker, when i can get it powdercoated or custom painted for that amount.

DMGuitar (Jul 10, 2009 at 23:19)

I've done several custom bikes, and powder coating costs $180. Custom paint work costs $200-600 and hand painted anything is literally priceless. If you can get hand drawn/painted custom graphics done by anyone that isn't your family member it costs a rediculous amount of money. You've clearly made your judgement based on made up figures and never actually looked into custom work frame painting at all before. An autobody shop will charge you $200+ to spray your frame with one solid, non fleck colour.

it's not just sharpied, I saw the add from the original seller, it has a clear coat over it as well so the sharpie doesn't wash away/fade, which costs money. 550 is a fair price.

i agree they seem like a good frame and i saw the original add for it, you can say its just a fram with maker cause it has design to it all every inch of it its a one of a kinda frame and if your not interest nobody gives a rats ass what you think about it, pinkbike was made with the motto "Share the ride" so riders could find other ridiers and share tips and experiences and new and that stuf not to rip on each other for being a beginer or whatever else, personaly i would probably ban half the people on here if i could so if your going to say stupid stuff dont waste your time go shove your seat up your ass
