I might sell it. It is to big. It makes me tired having to lean so far foward. It is large frame. I need a med.
Any bike is going to make you tired man...it's called excercise.

My legs are not tired, my arms are. The bike is to big for me. I am only 5'10" I need to be 6' or bigger to ride this bike. Unlike most of you. I get around by food most of the time. I rollerblade and ride bikes a lot.

you are an idiot buy a bike for 200 and sell it on ebay with no reserve starting at 10 bucks

how the hell are u gonna ship that thing? The shipping cost will be as much as the bike
Tonnerre
07-06-2006, 10:16 PM
it has a 200 dollar reserve. I am not going to lose my money. Also I have a lot of ppl intrested in the bike already. I was lucky to get the bike for 200. Look at the price on all of the other trek fuels and then tell me I am getting screwed. Also If you look, I am willing to ship it there way too. They can have a friend pick it up or grey hound it or something.

There's two reasons why your bike won't sell, guarenteed it won't get to $200. If you look at all the completed listings the auctions with crappy descriptions or crappy pics had low or no bids. First off your description sucks ass. You need to tell people what all the parts are on it. Fork, rear shock, brakes, front and rear derailleur, crankset, hubs, and tires...at least all that. Second, your pictures are retarded, you can't even tell what any parts are. You need pics of the front fork so you can see the model, as well as the rear shock. Closeups of the hubs and tires, and whatever else you can get.

at least take the time to correct your multiple spelling and grammar errors on the auction.

OK, I added all of that shit. I have a lot of ppl asking question. So you are right it will not sell. I am wasting my time with ebay too.

With all that you have a lot better chance to get the price higher. The less you look like someone who has no clue what they are selling and look like someone who actually knows a thing or two about the bike the more people you will have who feel they can trust you a little more.

Tough it out, the more you ride it the stronger you will get or the more used to the bike you will get. I had to ride a bike for 6 months because my car went down and I had no backup. The first few weeks were rough because I lived in Golden and its hilly. And I'm no Lance Armstrong. But within a month I could ride the 15 miles a day I needed to without getting exhausted. Just give it some time. I'm 5'11" and that bike looks fine for me to ride.

You still do not understand. It is to big. It is 2 sizes to big. It is like the diffrence betwean your swimsuit you can fit in and 2-3 sizes to big. It is posible to use but it is not a good idea. I will be able to ride it this week around here but It is really big.
You didn't even include the milage on the bike.

No I understand. You're a wuss. I've ridden over and undersized bikes.

If you go to Metro, you should get to ride everything RTD offers for free.

I do but it take anywhere from an 30 min to a hour. I can almost walk home faster. My integra will soon be one the road too. I just wanted something the ride around when doing chores.

Well who ever said that it would not reach 200. You were wrong. I get 48 ppl watching it and over 400 views. STFU noob.
Brian
07-10-2006, 03:35 PM
most of the views are probably from us

07-10-2006, 04:58 PM
48 ppl watching this bike? Is this some ultra rare mountain bike? NO, just HAI keeping post on their idiot. Thanks for the laughs Tonnere
Tonnerre
07-11-2006, 10:44 PM
54 ppl watching it $275 is the top bid and loads of question. You were sure right that I was not going to get 200.
Deltron_3030
07-11-2006, 11:08 PM
the important question is, will they actually pay for it
