Hi everyone. New here. Used to have a 2003 kona stinky. All I did was walk my dog with it. Sold it. Started going hiking with me ex and then wanted it back to hit the trials. Been trying to trade for a decent downhill bike ever sense.

I got a trade offer for my $1,300 goped. Is it even worth $300? Any input appreciated. Obviously. It needs the rear tire swapped for a proper dirt tire.

What is the absolute highest value for it? If you were being extremely generous.

Not worth much of anything, that's got to be close to 20 years old...

$100? $200?

 

[englertracing]

worth a Sixpack of soda....
The cheap stuff

 

[Nick]

$100? $200?

pretty much, a few hundred bucks, and that wouldn't be an ideal trail bike.
what type of trails are you planning on riding? where?

 

[englertracing]

find a bike on pinkbike.
A modern short travel bike will outperform that easily.

Completely new to it. But Juaquin miller in oakland and black diamond mines in Antioch.

That's the kind of bike you pick up for a wall hanger as a piece of history.

Either buy Norbar's DH bike (be a shrewd negotiator) or find a sweet hardtail for that cost.

I wouldn't even hard that FSR on the wall.

Ok I won't. Dude was saying the forks are worth $200 alone I was like best I can do is $200 for the whole bike sorry.

Thank you all for the input.

 

[Bikael Molton]

I used to ride Joaquin Miller on a singlespeed Bontrager hardtail with V brakes. I earned my first concussion that way!

 

[ianjenn]

That's not the TEAM DH. That is a standard trail whatever model. The team frame looks like this.

no collectible value and no performance value. $150-250 as a commuter and that's it.

That sounds about right imo. What Marz fork is that? Remember a time about 10-15 years ago that folks were clamoring over old mister-ts and what not. Think that period has passed, but still curious what that fork is.

Hard to tell, because of the way that it is, but I think it's a junior T. Nobody wants those. The Mr T was a Z1 with two crowns, but the JR had the ported damper rather than shim stack, or something like that. I think this would be fine for your dad or girlfriend, but you could pay just a little bit more and get a lot more if you're smart.

that bike is from 1999....

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Or 6661...

A good buddy in NorCal had the FSR elite max-backbone version of that bike back in the day.

Team DH

Spec enduro Max Backbone (FSR Elite)

Spec Enduro non-Max Backbone

Both of the Enduro's could be fitted with BETD links to boost travel to 6".

 

[marshalolson]

Yup, that is the 1999 fsr enduro (110mm) with a Mr T fork

 

[marshalolson]

I’d be really skeptical of that bike not being cracked in multiple locations too

 

[Jm_]

I still have a hard-on for the Team DH (I know it cracked too).

 

[WestCoastHucker]

Jr'T or Drop Off Triple based on the QR front hub...

 

[6thElement]

So my 20 year old guess was pretty good, do I win a 20 year old special-ed?

 

[Gopedguy]

thanks for all the replies. I will definitely post back when I get another trade offer.

What do y'all think of the 2005 kona stinky? I should have never sold it.

Also, where is the best place to find a local trade for a bike? I have a lot of stuff I've been trying to trade. Here is my cl post if you're in the bay area by chance.

Trade my stuff for a mountain bike - barter - trade swap

**nothing is for sale. Trade only** If you don't have a bike, don't contact me. If it's still in...

I cant help but think it looks like a walmart bike lol

That Team DH was the last bike Specialized made in the USA I believe......my wife had one I rode it down Tunnel a number of times.

 

[Electric_City]

As far as I know, specialized was never made in the USA. Maybe they had some weird thing going on where they worked a deal with Intense or something. A buddy of mine had a Haro/Specialized/Intense. Maybe you're thinking of something like that?

 

[marshalolson]

1999 Front triangle was made in Oregon by the same company making turner (forgot name) at the time.

Kinesis was/is in Portland too.

(I think it’s was.)

sell your moped and buy a more modern like 2010+ bike from pinkbike.com

And don't buy a damn dual crown bike because you think it looks cool.... not for casual trail riding....

See how the modern enduro beat it by a bit?
Your thinking "so what"
Yeah it beat it at its own game
The flater the trail or if any climbing is involved the more the enduro bike will smoke the dh bike.

Pedaling a dh bike on flat sux shit let alone climbing one.

Buy a bike geared towards your trails.

Go on pinkbike hit buy sell, hit complete bikes, click use desktop site at the bottom of the page if your on your phone, insert your max price let us know what ya find.

Thanks for the info. Will definitely avoid downhill bikes. And I'm gonna try to stay 2010 or newer. 2000-2005 is just way too old for the advancements that have been made.

That’s the original Big Hit. Came with fenders and the crazy shark fin brake adapter. 2000.

I sold an FSR Max Backbone frame with a BETD link and a Shark Fin for $200 (22,000yen) last month and spent the month previous following what FSRs were going for on E-Bay and it was around that. I sold a pair of those Jr T's for $140 (15,000 yen) about 2015 but they'd still be around that now. Personally I think $300 for that bike is fair but you'd be getting that bike cos you like retro mountain bikes and it looks fairly original not because you're getting back into riding.

That was my Wife's it was a 2001 and just above the BB it had the Made In USA. Then they went full China the next year... ((

 

[Redwood Mulch Chucker]

Specialized made their own frames in SLC during the 90's in addition to farming out to Kinesis, so USA Speshy bikes did/do exist.

I had an M-something hard tail welded by Speshy in Utah that I bought in '91- '92 with a carbon wrapped Judy.

Local service was pretty sweet back then too, you could drive to Morgan Hill and get all kinds of stuff out the back door...repaired frames, warranty parts, new tires, whatever the warehouse workers would trade for weed that day.

Mr dirt chainguide- ruined a few race runs for me over the years and man those husselfelt cranks- our team/ mostly me was burning through a case a week it seemed like. I still love that gen dorado, so sexy and loved cracking it back into place after twisting it!

Truvativs where on there cause local and free. My DHR had Profiles on it, in fact, they where Profile SS if I recall. Also, had Monster Ts was close to 50lbs I would guess. Sort of like an Ebike but a lot stiffer......
