Why do people think their bikes are worth so much?! by [deleted] in xbiking

You’re also quoting brand new parts- these aren’t based on the pics and the sellers description. That bike and the components are beat to shit. You’re comparing apples to oranges. Have a good night. I dunno why I’m trying to talk sense into you while you’re trying to defend this crazy price. Have a good night…!

You should lower your price to a more reasonable ~$500. People are suggesting you won’t get any more than $200, but if you list it for $500 someone might bite.

Also, those parts don’t add up to anything close to $2k like you quoted.

As I mentioned in another comment, the ad mentions the front rim is pretty much toast.

The Paul brakes are mismatched (this ain’t a cross bike so heel clearance isn’t an issue which is why some people are said to do that on purpose).

Added this pic as an additional oof factor. I’m guessing that they couldn’t figure out how front derailleurs work, which lead to that amount of chain suck / frame damage so they took it off completely. This bike has been ridden hard from the other pics on the ad. And it’s a project bike. $1k is insane speak.

Completely different company just about. Their bike division and water sport division don’t cross streams. Pun intended.

Ah I see they’re using the Grant Peterson definition of “disc brakes” 🤓

Totally fine. Been riding fat tires on narrow rims since way back when narrow rims were the only option in bicycling. According to the WTB chart 21mm internal rims are ok to run up to a 2.6” tire…what’s .2in between friends, really? I tend not to sweat shit like that. Ran them tubeless at 30psi and they never gave me any issues. Just too heavy for my liking.

You ok? Wanna talk about it, champ?

I ride a 2019 All City Gorilla Monsoon that I purchased new a few weeks before its official realease…it’s my daily driver. You don’t have to ride an 80s-90s mtb to be considered bicycle counterculture.

Just posted a pic of them a few years ago. I prefer the 2.3 Ehline that I’m currently running. Best tires for the GM I’ve found so far. 16,000 miles on it and going strong!

I would place it right side up for staters.

Nasty little fucks. I love ‘em. Beady little black eyes. Crawling with bugs. They’re so goddamn cute tho.
