$3000 Hardtail freeride bike.

[S.]

It "felt" strong? You can't judge strength by how something feels...

We stock Trek, Norco, Felt and Santa Cruz, but can get basically anything in.

Basically anything? That's lucky man, are you the only shop in the area?

the only reason i'd buy a MsIsle would be to match my 222 (if i owned one)

*edit: and for the record rilliys msisle scares me.

Just a pretty major shop...you may have heard of it - TC's Bike Barr. www.tcsbikebarr.com.au

No by it felt strong i meant that when i jumped the small table top at Bowman Park the bike landed smoothly and didn't flex or anthing. It also didsn't make any odd noises. But i am only comparing that to my bike so there's a huge diffrence.

3000 bucks can get u anything
go a BALFA minuteman with super t's e13 chain guide atomlab rims the works

 

[fastrider_ben]

mayb if u got sum of the stuff 2nd or shipped from canada

ben i think you'll find that $3000 doesn't go as far as you might think, when building up a sic hardtail here are some basic costs

frame: 800 - 1200
fork: 800 - 1000
good wheelset: 400 - 600
good brakes: 400 - 800
decent cranks and BB: 300 - 600
chain guide: 150 - 350
bar/stem/post: 150 - 350
cassette/mech/chain/shifters: 150 - 300
tires: 80 - 150
seat/grips and little bits: 50 - 100

so just on my basic prices it's $3150 or top of the line $5450 and nothing i've listed is over the top for nice parts.

i know it scares me when i add up the price of the parts on my bike

P3/Ms.Isle

Orange Misile, nothing comes close. shits on any norco. $3200, dj3's deore hydors etc

1) The original P3 is actually a copy of an orange Ms.Isle
2) I dont think its realistic to say any hardtail frame "shits all over" any other, or that "nothing comes close" to an Orange. No offence, but it sounds like you're more than a little biased to me Icks.

Bingo boss. 3g's won't go far when you buy seperate parts. Ty was being very lean in his estimates too, geez if you can put together a decent drivetrain (sans cranks) for 150 bucks, tell me where you're shopping! I know for the parts I was looking at it was $80 for the cassette $30 for the chain, a deore mech is about 100, and a bit more than the same again for the shifter, plus 15 bucks for a decent cable (spend the extra 5-10 bucks, you'll thank me later). So that's almost $350 for those parts alone, and they're far from top end.

Ben, $3000 really doesn't go far, especially when you're planning on a minuteman with super t's and atomlabs.

lol talk about prices adding up. of course if it were sold in a shop it wouldnt be that expensive. thats wot my setup is gonna be like by the end of the year, import on the frame is like another 600bucks or so. cant wait

 

[Ty]

yeah like i said that i didn't go over the top in my highend part prices, ie, triple clamps, 48 spoke wheel etc, but i was just trying to prove that $3000 doesn't go very far.
make sure you get a photo of that beast as soon as you've built it up Dan and post it up here.

 

[wombat]

Hmmm, is there anybody over here bringing in 24 frames?
