    Sick.

    Whoever buys that will be super-stoked.

    For about 5minutes until they take a mazzif drop of a curb, it snaps in half and they grind their face off on the tarmac.

    Awesome!

    I think it's got at least 1 component from every discipline of MTB'ing...

    DJ, Street, FR, DH, XC, 4X... It's a real "do it all" Bike! :lol:

    Can I ask a question?
    there is also some chainslap evident on the chainstay

    It a single speed, How the f**k do you get chainslap on a singlespeed? You only have to set the tension up to match one gear not to accomodate 30 combinations.

    I can't wait to see his next project. What do we reckon? a 29 inch BMX.?

    Dammit, if that was going for under £100, I'd be tempted to buy it and try riding it round C.Y.B for a giggle :lol: (with someone filming, of course)

    If that was going for £100 I'd buy it for the forks alone, let alone an old Ruckus frame, but for two different builds though. :wink:

    Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:

    I thought as much in the other thread, but I wasn't certain. I was going to mention something when he said the woman from the halfway cafe popped over?!?

    If you plan on splitting it up i think you could get some good deals on stuff like this - He clearly has nt ever ridden it on anything remotely serious and you could probably resell the forks alone for GBP300 odd

    However, chances are equally good that if he's done something like this, he knows precisely fark all about bikes. So you may well find stuff has been destroyed by improper use.

    Also, £300 for a set of old Super Monster Ts? No ta.

    You'd need to inspect it properly I admit

    (and I don't know the forks I admit this may not be the best "stupid ebay bike" to try this on...)

    Also, who would you sell them to.

    Anyone who is in the market for a foot of travel, is most likely the sort of person who is already going to think "dis bike iz da sikkist and it iz well rad coz dey iz proppper downhill forks innit" so not much point splitting.

    However, I do see what you're saying. You could have possibly split the stumpy someone posted the other week.

    Mostly though, bikes like this are being sold by complete fucktards who have ruined their bike and now want to sell it for more than they paid for the individual parts.

    They're Super Ts, not Monster Ts.
    Monster Ts are those crazy sonsabiatches that Nick likes to post occasionally. These are just DH versions of the Junior Ts.

    My bad, I was going off the ebay ad (foolish I know). He says they are Super Monster Ts.

    They certainly look like they have the travel of the super monsters. But of course it could just be that they've been stuck on that frame.

    300mm of travel FTW!

    The frame is a GT ruckus added to this is a pair of marzochi super T forks, these forks have a massive 200mm of travel and a 20 mm thru axle
    Nope.

    Just been watching my brother play football and what did i see, a kid no older than 12 with an old GT XCR 4000 in gold (with the short coil shock on the back) with a set of MASSIVE Bombers up front, the seat tube angle was at and angle that if you tryed to sit down you'd more than likely slide off the back, it must be the in thing at the minute i wonder if my Meta would take a 300mm form 8) :lol:
