The bike was in nice good riding condition, minus the pre-load tightening and very minor derailleur adjustment. The rest, seat and stem cap/spacer color and bar width, are all specific things you knew when you bought it. That does not mean it was not ridable. You bought it with flat tires based on what you said. You knew that going in. If you buy something used, expect to work on it. I would say if that was the worst that happened to you with buying a used bike, it was a good buy.
Same…….guy gets a $4300 bike for a grand and still complains. You chose to make most of those changes, the title makes it sound like someone tried to take advantage of you or something.
Everything you ran into is what I look forward to when buying a new to me bike. You got that for a steal, Id buy that even if I knew of those conditions..
That is a beautiful bike! Reynolds 853 steel, Kashima, XT...very nice! You stole that thing! Very well purchased! I think we are finally seeing the used market come back down. Those pandemic purchases are just sitting around and people are needing money...
No way this bike came from the factory with the RD cable mis-routed. I dare say the same thing about the chainring and bearing pre-load. This previous owner was tinker w/o knowing what he was doing. I'll guess dollars-to-donuts that he changed the number of teeth on the chainring - thus why it wasn't tight enough and the pre-load done wrong. Wonder what the explanation is for the RD cable mis-routing.
The most fun begins when you start inspecting FOX fork internals. I'm pretty sure there was zero maintaining from the beginning, based on your tale about overall bike condition.
I did see some videos of people doing that, but it looks sort of like a pain, and also this is my time using co2, so I wanted to make sure it would actually work before trusting it out on the trails.
I have an older Trek 930 Singletrack , I need to replace the front shift lever , any idea where to start looking or how to tell which ones would work ? Thanks for video .
@@BruceChastain Name is Mike , Ferguson is just my handle on Utube , is there anyway I can send you a picture of the old shifter ? I also need to replace the front brake cable hanger , I took the shock off front & brake cable hanger was built into shock so the original fork that I put back on my bike doesn’t have a brake cable hanger .

Nampa Bicycle Project in Idaho has a voluntary bicycle repair service & they did fantastic repair work on my CraigsList beater MTB that got me down the road again. All cyclist that need help should check their local communities for fantastic volunteer bicycle mechanics that will show you how to repair your own bikes. It may be indexed under charities, volunteers, rehabilitation.
I love riding bikes road and mountain bikes, the cool technology and materials used but no way would I spend that amount of money. They're Overpriced and it seems that finally the major mainstream brands are changing. Selling at Retail Chains and price slashing. Its about time. People are not Suckers and don't want to be ripped off.

That is pretty standard when you buy something used, you can't be surprised with what you find.
it's always something, I guess surprises should be per-caulated in.
Got a frame for a quarter of the price and still complaining?
What complaining?
The stanchions on the fork arent scratched up. It may have been neglected but its still in good shape with some service.
Great deal overall though!
yeah I think it really wasn't ever setup right, or really even used that much.

Nice video i just bought a trek marlin 6Gen 2 for 150 dollars first day riding it it makes a grinding noise what do you think is it?
Does it only grind when pedaling? Or also when coasting?
Nice video. But even with the extra cost/time you put in you’ve stolen that bike. A new 853 frame here in the UK will cost you that!
Thank you Sam!
That is a beautiful bike! Reynolds 853 steel, Kashima, XT...very nice!
You stole that thing! Very well purchased! I think we are finally seeing the used market come back down. Those pandemic purchases are just sitting around and people are needing money...
yep! and there is actually another 2020 with the 3 star build for $800 on market place right now in Tallahassee, nice bike for the money.

yep 100% I'm not actually sure if that is the factory chainring or not.

I was thinking that too...
A floor pump could have sealed the tires.
I did see some videos of people doing that, but it looks sort of like a pain, and also this is my time using co2, so I wanted to make sure it would actually work before trusting it out on the trails.

hey Furguson! It should be pretty easy, is it a trigger shifter? How many speeds?

What are the trails that your currently riding? Have you been to JD?
hey Speedy! Long time no talk! where is JD?

thanks for sharing that, gives me the idea that we could have something like that in my town
that's a very good find and great work.
Thanks 👍
You know if you get a new bike, you still have to assemble it and break it in, which is way more work than all these little fixes.
that is a good point.
Sweet ride‼️ Enjoy‼️
thanks man, I'm really loving it so far.
Don't know about sad, looks like you've had a right result, that bike looks mint
Common practice to sell your bike as soon as the tires stop holding air.
Dont worry, selling is even worse. 2019 fox kashima full suspension bike and people are asking me to sell it for 1.6k. Yeah buddy, keep on dreaming.
They are considering 5 years of wear and 1-3 generations of components behind.
yeah sell is tough, everyone wants something for nearly nothing.
Got off lightly actually.
true, could have been a lot worse.

that's pretty much why I never buy new
Got a good deal. Buy a used car will probably have same/similar issues.
That's a sick bike for 1k
thanks !
I highly suggest everyone buying used bikes over $100 always test before buying if women reject me that easy 😂we can reject the seller too easy
Lol true
