From that video it looks small, but some local nutters I know said that line is enormous, some of them didn't want to do it.... and that's saying something.
 
Its massive, I didn't even contemplate it. The hardest bit though would be linking the whole track together, which means a drop straight into a berm, step up, double, boner log hip thing then this gap.

I got the road gap done the other day, and everything on fluid and black shore. Had a look at air voltage today and we'll be hitting that at the end of next week.

Agreed. ^. Plus the add said: then I bought a road bike! Offer him him a trade...therapy!

On a serious note...I was offered a blur LTC frame with pushed rp23 for £1250. Mmmm tempted.

Ad looks fine, agree about the price though, I think it's worth closer to £300 sadly.

Yeah, I'd say around that price, maybe a little lower (sadly).

My bro got an On One 456 Evo with a much better spec than that (10 speed, all sram x7, Sektor Fork, Elixir 5 brakes etc) for just £400.

Buy it!
Sell the current blur, and then the pointless bikes in your stable (bullit, heckler) and have plenty monies to make it bling!

And while you're at it, DBair the tracer

The initial list of the spec is wrong so sort that out as looking at that it's a £300 bike at absolute best. Looking at the actual spec you may manage £400 for it but your market is pretty limited with it being an XL.
 
Just bought some RockShox Reba RL forks to complete my upgrades (for now). I don't even want to look at my bank statement to see how much i have spent. I bet I could have just bought a brand new bike, specced to this level, for less :o.

Still, it's been fun and I have learnt a lot and built up quite a collection of tools now for any future maintenance.

cheers guys

im surprised you think its worth like £300, when its done about 100 miles ;(

The miles you have done on it are a very small part of the depreciation, the main reason is that the parts are now 2/3 years old, and weren't high spec to begin with.

I'm sorry, but that to me is still way above what it's worth. I hope you can get that, but I just don't see how.
 
I'd agree on the £300 price point.

I got £420 for that kona I was riding a few years back. Was a 2007 model but only used for say six months. RRP was £1200 I'm sure. Had expensive Kona wah wah pedals, saint brakes with £30 hoses and I fitted a new chain,cassette and bottom bracket to it for that price.
