Bargain buys thread

I've got the screenshot above and I saved PDFs of the ebay listing with the same picture and a description stating 25 chains.

Always wanted one of these but they never met Aus standards so could only buy from OS.

$199* is pretty good for a 595g trail fullface.




*Only available in bloody stool red and baby shit green... Still $229 ain't bad.

All colours appear to be in stock?

I jumped on this because it was one of the options on my list, and had ruled out the Proframe RS because fit. After a bunch of research I decided to go with the M/L size but was a toss up as I measure right in the middle of their sizes (58cm). I have a roundish head but seem to fit it well. I have moved the BOA cradle to the innermost points but have left the thinner cheekpads and not sure the S/M would have fit my face. This has left me with a few clicks left on the dial, which I'd prefer over it being maxed out. Haven't ridden with it yet and it's my first time in a FF on the bike, so take with a pinch of salt. Overall it feels comfortable to me but will see once I use it in anger.

Also while not an issue for me, I've noticed that the lowest vertical adjust point on mine is blocked by the helmet foam, so watch for that if you order one and think you'll need to use that position. I went with the .... "bloody stool red" 😂 aka burnt orange version, but I like loud colours🤘
 
I had an IXS helmet once, was a very odd fit.
Super narrow on the sides

Seems @madstace has confirmed this may not be the case anymore. Buy, buy, buy!
Oooof, much pressure (para-socially, not from the helmet).

It's always weird getting other people's takes on helmets, one person's narrow is another's round etc. My direct comparison is with the Proframe RS model, which in the large felt like there was a lot of side pressure on top, yet even with the dial cranked had a heap of fore and aft play. I went for a spin up and down the street and the Trigger felt comfortable, no wobble and seemed like it had good airflow, but I sweat like a mofo so only a proper trail ride will tell how it fairs. Cheek pads still feel a bit firm against my face but it's a foreign feeling for me anyway, otherwise felt nicer than my POC Tectal.
 
$599 2023 Fox 34 Factory SC 29' F4 100mm

Crooze is offering the same with 120mm travel
$598.99 2024 Fox 34 Factory SC 29" F4 Remote 120mm

Few other deals from Fox and Crooze but mostly for 27.5.
 
Bold Bikes half price.

Ouch. Either a distributor is about to be binned off or another brand is about to expire (or hopefully just quietly assimilated by Scott given they own the IP).

Anyway, some great buying there if you can live with the potential risk of no after sales support.

Yeah they have been massively influenced by the Scott take over, internal headset routing, 1 piece bars and hidden shock.

Bloody good buy on the top spec ultimate at $8.6k with Fox factory, XX1 transmission, XMC1501 carbon wheels, XTR brakes etc..

I like that even they knew that going XX1 that they would have to mix Shimano brakes in there to make it 'top'.
 
If Bold or Scott did one of those frames with a Pinion SmartShift gearbox they'd look so damn clean.
