ark - tell us what kind of riding you intend to do, plus your size. I bought a bike with a SID on it, I hated it but I'm about 190 lb's and it was way to flexy for me. My son loves it though but he is about 130 lb's. There are a lot of stump jumpers out there, so they must be decent bikes. That's quite a list of parts, hardly any of them stock so whoever has it now must have enjoyed tinkering on bikes.

I'm 150lbs and would be using it for my epic/all around trail/XC machine.
I've got a beefy hardtail for thrashing, so this bike would be spared any seriously hairy situation.

I'm not worried about wrecking anything, i'm planning on being very gentle on this bike, but i have no idea how much a set of crossroc rims would go for on the used market for example. I'm not well versed in the market value of used XC gear.

Sounds like i'm getting a positive response which leads me to belive I won't be getting ripped off.



And the Thompson over the Easton? I've got a thompson on my other bike and have had no problems. Is there anything wrong with the easton?


Thanks guys!

Yes- it's a piece of junk. I had one and snapped it the very first ride. Get the Thompson.

Sounds like a great deal. The only potential pit-falls are the fork and hubs. The cross-roc rims are great (x3.1's) but the hubs tend not to last.
The 100mm SID is one of if not the most ill-conceived forks ever. In order to get enough exposed stanction to get 4", they use the same lowers as the high-end 63mm and 80mm sids (I forget the model names).
What this means: when you look at a SID XC, the lowers come up about an inch higher than the brake posts. On the lite-weight version and the 100mm, the lowers stop at a point about level with the brake posts. What this means is that you have a 4" fork with an inch less overlap than a 80mm SID XC. This means VERY flexy when cornering.
Regardless though, thats a great deal and I would go with the Thompson. With the Cross Rocs, I'll bet you could just replace the hubs at some point since the rims use normal spokes.
