Wanted FS XC/All mountain.. Stumpjumper evo or similar
July 21, 2013, 04:47:02 pm
I'm after something like the above. 6 inch front and back, not more than a year or two old, good spec brakes and chainset. Size large (6ft1). I've got a grand and a little bit to go with. For XC but also that can cope with a fair bit of DH, but I don't need a full DH rig. First time buying 2nd hand, and its become a bit of a mare, ebay is a no, too many dodgy bikes and not had much luck with pink bike.
I'm giving it about two weeks if not then probably just going to go for it and get a new one. Chased a bloke around gisbon last week, he was on one of these and said it was the best setup he's rode.. think this is the way to go if I cant find anything 2nd..

Can anyone help, thanks

Sorry can't help with buying one but I'm after one of those for my next XC+ bike as well. Only seen great reviews. Some people get a bit snobby about Specialized but that's just nonsense.
Probably worth checking the Pinkbike.com classifieds, a lot of nice kit comes up on there.

Lot of bike for the money, bargain actually, it's a lovely lovely bike in fact. If it fits, obviously. It fits your original buying detail, has a decent bit of kit on it and has all the depreciation taken out already. I haven't personally ridden it but it was hot on my heels a few times (I washed and lubed it myself after all those rides) and it was / will be in amazing condition, the age is a total misnomer on this bike.
This may sound like a mate's recommendation but I've known Dave only briefly and can attest to his qualities as a good person and careful bike owner in the interests of this post... I can also attest to fatdoc's expertise and attention to detail when it comes to advice on bike purchases.... as a good mate, who I trust implicitly to keep me on the straight when it comes to them.

I'm getting a right job done on me here eh?
if it isn't dave's mate who was clearly getting burned off by it, got my mate facebooking me saying to get it, and another mate who's just arranged a trip for us to the stains saying the same..
