On the fence about this thing, so I'm entrusting my bike fund money to the Monkey. 2009 Mob, Argyle 318 etc in very good shape. My target price is sub 500.

I wouldn't mind having a 26 (all my bikes are 24s) as a loaner and knock about bike.

It's kind of fvcked up looking, but I've banged redheads, so my esthetic taste is suspect. Monkey poll decides.

I bought a BlackMRKT Three57 for $300 and that was one of the funnest bikes I've owned. I should have kept it.

As someone who's pig slammed a few gingers, I say do it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or at least in the eye of the beholder's penis.

Can't remember when Moeller stopped welding these up... Mine's an 08, and I think it's one of the last S&M frames...?

If you can get that bike for under $500, don't wait. No matter how ugly it is.

Going to look at it on Saturday, if Rupaul doesn't buy it in the meantime. The price is decent for the frame and fork alone, so why not? The Mob frame is a high end steel job, which is really hard for me to turn down.
