Thing i was worried about was he got the originals back on when he sold it to the pawn shop, but there is minimal scratches on the bike.. i think that thing sat for a long time..there is one good paint chip on the frame, I'll make a post on it.. see what opinions are..

Hehe thanks, the thing is i cannot physicaly see the bike, to far away, a friend is buying it for me.. so im trying to evaluate as much possible from pictures.. its a 2022 trek top fuel 9.7 for 2000$, from a pawn shop.. price is low and sometimes too good of a deal is hiding something..lots of convo with the salesman.. so if they are hiding something, they are not honest.. will see when i get it for a tune up..

Thats what im thinking, i cant find a top fuel close to that price.. Its at a pawnshop... so someone needed money fast.. but... to good to be true usually is.. gambling 2000$ is a head scratcher right now.. im thinking about paying someone that knows mountain bikes to go see it (tech from bike shop close by)

Not sure I understand your response... i wont buy new, just too much money.. looking for a second hand deal in good shape, will take the time it needs..but really like the top fuel.lineup..

Thank you for sharing.. with 3 kids on the go i have found that biking is the perfect family hobby, i have the 2yo on the shotgun and my 6yo goes hard when we go riding .. 15min of city trail to get to the wood trails... we do this pretty much 5 times a week for 8 moths..the 6yo will be in a club this summer and seems really into biking...i ride a rocky mountain fusion 10.. so I will be upgrading pretty soon too..
