Local guy on craigslist has this bike for sale --
http://reno.craigslist.org/bik/180505927.html
I went over and checked it out for Mrs. C., looks to be in good condition overall; stuff I noticed:
- frame scuffs - mostly minor, but looks like a lot of chain slap on the inside of the right seat stay (none on the chain stay, weird)
- rear shock (Fox AVA - any good?) needs new bushings
- fork (Fox Float RLC) adjustments all work fine
- rear derailleur cage is bent, but shifts OK
- rear wheel needs truing, front looks OK
- needs lower stem, not an issue, I have extras
What's it worth? It's an '03 frame; says he built it up in early '05, so 1 season of use. It's the old style Blur, not XC or LT versions available now.

That price looks fair based on the build kit. Maybe offer $1900.00??
Since then it's been a book you read in reverse, so you understand less as the pages turn.
The things you find on the net.

If I can get it for $1900 -- go for it?
Any thoughts on that Fox AVA shock? Originally Posted by powder11

IMO, $2100 for that rig is more than fair. If you can get it cheaper, sweet, but I wouldn't lose sleep over paying full boat for that.
