CRAZY

You are bidding to BUY not look at or test ride, this is not just a mountain bike

then what the hell is it

 

[mshred]

Downhill bike? doesnt look like one to me..

 

[stoney]

that right there sir is a piece of mtb history, and should be in a museum

 

[Transcend]

That's a sweet deal. I rode one of those for a bit, super sick.

 

[sammi_davis]

That was an awesome bike ... I remember when it came out ...heck I wanted one but my old f500 Cannondale was a stretch to pay for .

 

[BurlyShirley]

sweet. fork on the rear

Downhill bike? doesnt look like one to me..

In the not too distant past a 3" fork was considered a "DH" fork....

 

[luelling]

looks flexy :biggrin: I remeber when it came out, I thought it was a great idea......but this was the time of the Trek pogo bike (the one with the single low placed beam and the no rebound shock).

 

[monkeyboy424]

sweet. fork on the rear

Yah. im guessing that is when people started the phrase "front fork" because on that bike, there is a "back fork"

 

[greenhood]

I remember that bike. It really does belong in the Smithsonian

 

[Tattooo]

I want it to put it in my little musem right next to my fat chance.

I want it to put it in my little musem right next to my fat chance.

I miss my Fat chance

 

[Echo]

It ain't worth no $900, but that there is a piece of MTB history, and it looks to be in amazing condition.

 

[JapaneseZero]

Why all of the Ti bolts and then Heavy Duty Tubes? (I like my fat chance...)

 

[llkoolkeg]

When the heck did it come out? I starting MTBing in '96 and it looks like technology older than was on my '96 Stumpy.

 

[Sandwich]

95 I think. In my 96 MB mag, there's a two page answer ad but they used a mcu/spring rear shock instead of the fork.

 

[KavuRider]

Wow, that is a museum piece. I understand what the seller is saying, that this isn't necessarily a bike to buy and thrash, its a collectible.

Its always cool to see what used to be considered a DH bike. 4-6" was big travel, now 4" is an XC bike.

Bradbury is a wacky dude. The last time I saw one of those was on the paved bike path between Frisco and Copper Mountain, CO about four years ago. It looked like it had never touched the dirt.
