Sep 21, 2025Kona Remote Hardtail E-bike
$1449 USDThis is a 2023 bought new in 2024. The bike is in great shape and only has 350 miles on the odometer. Pics were just taken. The bike was upgraded with a lighter more adjustable Marzocchi Z2 air sprung fork (came with heavier Suntour Zeron coil for stock). The dropper was also upgraded to a PNW suspension dropper post. This bike is medium and fits most riders between 5'5" and 5'10" but probably works best for 5'6" to 5'9". Standover is a hair under 29". It is a great trail bike for riders that aren't super aggro and don't need a full suspension bike. It has rack mounts (rack NOT included) so it would also work well as a town bike or commuter if you add a rear rack. The 504Wh battery is removeable and it can be charged on or off the bike. Charger included.

Mar 7, 2025Customized AL Hightower
$1775 USDThis is a 2021 year model Santa Cruz Hightower 2 AL R that was purchased new in June of 2022 with stock components. It was heavily modified after I bought it.
The following upgrades were made end of Summer of 22...
Stock Yari fork was updated with Charger Damper (seen in pics) and 160mm air spring shaft. Effectively making it a 160mm Lyrik

Cassette changed to GX 10-50t

Dropper was updated to Fox Transfer 170mm (gen 1) new old stock closeout deal
Bar was updated to Race Face Atlas
Rode the bike like that for 18 months.
In Feb or March 2024 I replaced the rear derailleur with a 52t compatible GX rear derailleur
(but the bike didn't really get ridden much in 24 because I bought a new SJ EVO AL and was riding that)

New DHR II 2.4 maxterra EXO+ rear
New DHF 2.5 maxgrip EXO front

New 7120 SLX 4 piston front caliper

Oct 16, 2023Norco Sight bought new in 2022
$1549 USDThe bike is a 2021 Norco Sight A3 aluminum frame
Pics were taken the day before this ad was posted. Pedals and bottle mount not included. Sorry I forgot to remove them when I took the pics.
It is stock with the following upgrades/swaps which where done 6 or 7 months ago:
Rockshox Lyrik Ultimate 160mm Fork
Shimano 7100 SLX Rear Derailleur
WTB Silverado Saddle
Oneup Lock On Grips
Maxxis DHF 29x2.5 EXO+ (replaced the Dissector 2.4" rear)
Shimano Deore 615 Brake Levers
Cane Creek Double Barrel Trunnion Coil w/ climb switch (Lower mounting hardware included in eyelet, spring not included)
Bought the bike new in June of 2022. It has low-ish mileage since I had 3 bikes at the time and was riding all three. The stock Rockshox rear shock is back on the bike. It is like new since I was running 2 different coil shocks on the bike most of the time I had it. The Cane Creek Double Barrel Coil Shock is included and will be in the box it came in. Tires still have lots of tread but are not new. The bike rides excellent and has no dents, no chips in the paint and almost no scratches. There are a couple scratches on the crank ends and near rear axle on the frame.

Bike Check: Acoustic's V2 Steel High Pivot
@Henchman21: Maybe women and normal weight people need bikes from the turn of the century. But IMHO nearly everything that makes a modern bike heavier makes the bike safer/faster/more fun*.
Most riders I know love: dropper posts, 2.5 tires, 30mm rims, 800mm bars, larger stanchions, longer travel, rotors that are >=180mm, 4 piston calipers, etc. But hey, if women and normal people want to ride a 100mm travel bike with 19mm wide rims, 2.1 tires, a 22" flat bar and 160mm rotors, or spend 2 to 3 times as much $ to get a modern bike made of lightest most expensive materials so they can save 5 pounds, I say more power to 'em!
*on the downhill part of the ride everyone (who's not an XC racer or a masochists) enjoys most

May 8, 2023Nomad S Aluminum Black and Olive
$1950 USDThis was my park bike for the first 2 years I had it in 2019 and 2020 when I lived 55 minutes from Snow Summit. After I moved in 2020 I was almost 3 hours from Snow Summit. For the last 2 years the bike has seen limited miles so I've decided to sell it. Fork and rear shock were serviced in 2022 and I think I made it up to Summit 3 times in '22. I'm old and don't do much jumping or crashing so the bike is in really good shape.
There were a few parts changes from the S build.
Brakes changed to Shimano XT 8020 four piston with Ice Tech Rotors 203/180mm
Shock changed to DVO Jade coil with 450# spring
170 Reverb Dropper changed to 170 SDG Tellis Dropper.
Rear 2.4 DHR II changed to WTB Convict 2.5 TCS Tough Casing High Grip. 2 Convict tires come with the bike. Old one is installed and I have a new one that will be included
The stock Rockshox Super Deluxe R air shock has almost no miles on it and will be included with the bike. Rockshox hardware is installed for quick swap if you want to switch shocks.
The bike is in great shape for a 4 year old bike. No crashes and minimal scratches. There are some paint chips on the non drive side rear triangle. They are visible in the pics.
