Dick Dastardly Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I think it's too much. Frame dents don't bother me until they do. I would have to see them in person.. If it's just a couple little dings, no big deal but if they're creased or have obviously weakened the tube, that's different.Those don't look awful in the pic.. But I still think he wants too much $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I'd stay away from this bike personally, they don't look that small to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 nope, looks like a good crease in the metal on the "IA" area of the decal also looks like its been crashed more than a few times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge_Brownie Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 nope, looks like a good crease in the metal on the "IA" area of the decal also looks like its been crashed more than a few times...That's what I'm seeing as well, but I didn't want to bias fresh eyes. Thanks for the tips guys. I'll pass. And the other pictures he has do show that it has been used heavily. I was reading more about this bike last night, and despite some repairs in the shock design, it sounds like there's quite a bit of unhappy customers. Too bad, because including the factory triple this bike is a claimed 30lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Yeah after looking at a full size pic I wouldn't buy it.. (Unless it was super cheap and then part it) For sure Been crashed a couple times.Then again, if my Ellsworth had dents like that I'd still ride it..

Mesoam Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 small denting is ok IMO but creases, no thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Those aren't terrible longitudinal creases on that.. just vertical dents.. BUT I wouldn't buy it like that. Although, what I was saying before, If my bike had dents like that I would still ride it for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
