All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

You are trying really hard to justify a new bike

 

Get a new bike. You have been talking about it for a while. The bug has bite you, scratch the itch!

 

As long as you aren't stretching yourself thin, I'd put that money towards a new bike. If you spent the money to fix it, you def wouldn't recoup that in the sale, so really you are just buying yourself back to sellable, and you take the additional hit on selling a repaired frame.

Best case, get a new frame and swap all the components over. That way you can probably save a few bucks and have something new.

 

Very loosely MTB related, but this is def gonna make post ride trailhead beers a little comfier in the Utah sun.

 

Very nice!!!! A little jelly of your set up!!!

 

I sold my cracked carbon Devinci frame for 500 plus shipping on pinkbike. My guess is the guy had it repaired for less than 300 bucks and had himself a badass new bike for less than a Grand.

Buy a new bike and try to sell that trek for cheap.

 

Hell yeah! Now we just need some more of that Utah sun!

 

Full disclosure: That's the 23Zero demo truck, but it's a dead ringer for mine.

 

new bike time

 

@backcountryj what is your cracked frame? I may buy it from you cheap if you don't want to deal with it...

 

I know! I was all set to ride Sunday morning before the snow came, woke up, looked out the window, and there was already a few inches.

 

I got in a great ride Saturday since i knew Sunday was gonna suck, hoping for dry trails by Wednesday for my next fix.

 

You, @ginseng27, and I need to get a ride planned once it warms up. Maybe a Sardine Loop up at Snow Basin. Such a fun loop.

 

Y’all think I should go red pedals and other items to match the S on the front or stay black or another color?

 

i would do black, but to each his own.

 

I'm leaning towards black for fear of it not being an exact color match...because that would drive me nuts..

 

Yes, yes I am.

The temptation is real.

It’s a medium ‘18 Trek Fuel EX 9.9. The fox factory thru shaft dealio shock was rebuilt last month and has less than 10hrs on it.

I’ll be entertaining all options. Shot me a PM if it’s of any interest to you.

 

Having seen the red chesters, it'd be close, but I'd go black.

 

1up rack FTW
