[font=Arial]I'm thinking about buying my friends bike and I really have no knowledge of what I'm getting myself into. Thought I'd check here to see what you gurus have to say. Here's the bike:[/font]
[font=Arial]frame is a 19.5 and it is a ControlTech Team Issue [/font] [font=Arial]It has a Marzocchi Bomber fork[/font] [font=Arial]Shimano XTR/XT components[/font] [font=Arial]Continental tires [/font] [font=Arial]One of the brake levers is an Avid 2.0 and one is a Shimano XTR. [/font] [font=Arial]GripShift shifters [/font] [font=Arial]leather Selle Italia saddle on it. [/font] [font=Arial]It also has a red Chris King headset[/font]
[font=Arial]Basically, I no nothing. Is this a good setup? What looks good, what looks bad, and how much should I look to pay for it. Bike is in great condition. [/font]
Well, I'm no Guru, but if it doesn't fit you'll be wasting your money....there are some good resources on the net about Bike sizing and fitting...
