well, for 2200 you would get an entry level dh bike or a used one. But your dj'er isn't worth 2200 anymore. I would say you would be pretty lucky if you pull this off as a 1 to 1 trade.

that's why we drink it here
If you want to get maximum returns on the jumper, part it out.
Save all the parts you can re-use.
Get something used.
For the frame I'd recommend a single pivot bike. They have fewer parts and tend to wear better.
For the fork, Marzocchi's tend to wear the best IMO.
Ask around locally. People are much more likely to give a good deal to someone they are even the least bit acquainted with.

Kid here just bought a DECKED OUT '06 or '07 Morewood Izumi for $1600.00 with Double Barrel off a guy. It looked like it hadn't been ridden. And I helped a buddy sell a decked out, barely ridden GT DHi w/ Saints, X.O and Boxxer World Cup for $1700.00 last month.

What super woody said...part that bad boy out and get a DH rig. Then find a loading dock to huck off of ASAP! :thumb:
