Polygon XQUAREONE EX9 Med
$2800 USD2018 Polygon XQUAREONE EX9 for sale here. Excellent condition. Nice spec: Polygon frame with a Fox Float X2 AND an Ohlins TTX coil shock with a custom tune! RockShox Lyrik fork. E*Thirteen TRS Race Carbon wheel set (tubeless w/Cushcore). TRP Quadiem 4 piston brakes (203mm f/180mm r). Crankbrothers HiLine dropper post. Shimano XT 12spd derailleur and shifter. E*Thirteen 9-50 tooth cassette. YBN chain. Shimano SLX cranks 175mm with 32 tooth chain ring (these are brand new). Spank Vibrocore bars (780mm) and Spank Stem. WTB Silverado saddle. VEE Flow Snap 2.6” front tire. WTB Breakout 2.5” rear tire. Bike is in great shape and ready to rip. Yes, look is polarizing, but it rides amazing! Ohlins coil shock makes it even better and opens up bike to bigger folks who couldn’t get air shock to work. Has 180mm travel, but can be pedaled all day. Climbs very well and traction on descents is unmatched IMHO. Selling because I have a size large bike with same suspension that fits me better. Open to offers that are reasonable. Pedals not included.

Classified's Wireless Internally-Geared Hub Increases 1x Drivetrain Range by 45%, Doubles the Number of Gears
I rocked Hammerschmidt for a number of years. Last setup was with SRAM 11 speed cassette. Just made sure I never touched the cranks/bottom bracket before it was installed so I never felt the heft. It is heavy! Still look at it from time to time and contemplate putting it back on my hard tail. Range was ludicrous, and you could just chill up climbs. It would just take twice as long!

Trust Performance Ceasing Operations Effective Immediately
Ha! I actually have one on my Ploygon Squareone EX9! I should throw the Spengle wheels I use for my bikepacking rig on it too and see if I can make people throw up at the trailhead! Would at least cover up the dog poop smell we have at many of our trailheads here in Boise.

Trust Performance Ceasing Operations Effective Immediately
I’m bummed, bought a demo Message at a great price and used the trade in on the fork it replaced to buy a Shout. Sold the fork the Shout replaced and ended up paying less than I would have for two forks from one of the big brands. Anyways, I’m a bigger fellow (250lbs) and really liked how they tacked and felt under me. Hopefully they make a comeback and can continue! Otherwise, I’ll have a couple nice pieces for the mtn bike museum!

Diamondback DB8
$1700 USDDiamondback DB8. They came in a short and long version. This is the short. I’m 5’10” and it fit well. Definitely more of a park bike than a full on DH race bike. Great spec and bike is barely ridden. Getting long in the tooth and no longer need a dedicated DH rig.
Pertinents: DB8 frame 200mm/8” of travel with a Fox Vanilla R shock ti spring. Fox 40 fork. Saint brakes w/8” rotors. Shimano Zee hubs and WTB I 25 rims/ tubeless. Chromag seatpost. Loaded bar and stem. Gravity cranks. Maxxis Minnion tires.
Bike is mint! Needs to be ridden and fulfill its life’s purpose!
