Used bike, the Trek VRX 300, what’s the used MSRP on this bike?

Avraham asked:


Hello everyone,

I've still yet to find a bike for my springtime and summertime riding, but perhaps this bike, the Trek vrx 300, is just the bike I'm looking for. I hope. I can't speak for the owner or the condition of the bike, pictures are pending.

Here's what's posted about the bike so far:

very nice downhill mountain bike. paid 2300$ . longtravel judys triple crown shocks. avid shifters bontrager oversized rims full suspension frame fox racing shok under seat. aluminum frame very light

And in a followup, he writes:

it has oversized frame longtravel manitous triple crown shocks .9 cogs on back rim.

Additionally, he's asking $600.00 for the bike, a princely sum for a poor pauper like me! So, I'm bringing before you this question, is the bike worth it's pricetag (used, of course)?

Thanks so much,

Av

PS. I'll keep this question open for a few days, as I know that he and others in my area snipe questions here on yahoo answers.

Jeffchina asked:


I have an option to buy a 10 year old but well cared for cromoly framed Marin mtb with upgraded wheels and brakes and front suspension, or a brand new lower end Trek also hardtail but aluminum frame. There is also a Devinci hardtail aluminum frame for about 100 dollars more. Which should I choose?

EpicRacer asked:


i have a comfort bike frame (Trek 7300) that i bought by accident because it was misrepresented as a mtb. my friend has a bunch of extra parts (taken from a Schwinn) laying around. i can probably buy all the parts i need off of him for about $75. if i build up the bike, do you think i can sell it and make a profit off of it?

For a 16″ bike for my son is a Schwinn or TREK bike better long term with training wheels?

Schwinn- aluminum frame

http://www.schwinnbike.com/products/bikes_detail.php?id=736

I like the coaster brake because I don't prefer the hand brakes yet for him. Are there any other brand names that I forgot about? Trek, Schwinn...?

Also, is aluminum better than steel or vice versa?

Chemotherapy

I have a Trek SU600 frame – any ideas for the seat post and clamp size , I tested a 31.6 post and its loose?

kisscycles1 asked:


Trek cant help (no acutal bikes near the tech help desk!) - having tried a 31.6mm post that is to slack it suggests a 31.8 is the part. For the clamp i have no idea except a 34.9mm is to small. Before buy new i want to be sure I have the right size. thanks and safe riding
