Foes is Ebaying Missy Giove's '99 race bike. :evil:

 

[DHS]

cool, wayyyyy too much for that. maybe half that it'll go..

 

[Velocity Girl]

And it has one of her signature saddles on it!!!!! My last one got so beat up I finally had to retire it

 

[AlmostHeaven]

would you even want to RIDE a bike from 1999?

however meticulously maintained it was,it's still 6 years old and was BEAT on for a whole season by the Missile.

don't get me wrong, it still kicks ass.

 

[konastab01]

Its very cool but as you said wayyyyyy too much

 

[S.K.C.]

This bike is only one of TWO ever made, featuring a one off Rock Shock Rear shock, built for Missy

Bike is in extremely good condition and you will be blown away at the rear shock upon your first ride.

...if they mean "blown away" as in "6 years ago Rock Shox knew how to make a custom piggy-back shock that worked?!" - then YES you will be blown away...

hmm.. It has new rubber on it.

It would be some cool wall art, but dang thats spendy.

Don't forget if it was missiles bike it was ghost ridden into the finish line barriers a few times in a heat of anger.

WALL ART

.

And then when missy dies, maybe you can get a taxidermist to mount her on the wall with it.

It's good to have artistic goals in mind with large purchases.

That is officially funny.

think of it more as a collector's item rather than something you're going to race next year.

If you've ever been to Troy Lee's showroom in Corona, you would be impressed with the amount of DH history they have hanging from the walls. I think they have one of Missy's Foes and 3 of Shawn Palmer's bikes.

Yeah, but I think they are still going to have to re-list it with one less zero on the price tag.

 

[CreeP]

500 bucks for a piece of sporting history?

I agree that setting the starting price at $500 would definitely get people bidding. As with many in this thread, the max price that this bike would likely go for is in the 3 to 4K range... this bike is still relatively "recent history," but as the saying goes, it's "worth" whatever someone's willing to pay for it and that's yet to be seen.

- dump

[leprechaun]
