I know, there are hundreds of threads like this per day, but at least I'm not asking you to tell me about two stock, complete bikes that I could easily google!
So, I'm looking to trade the bike I own (a flatland/park hybrid that I bought as a complete, the 2011 Redline Rise) for a street-specific bike - I just prefer street riding more. So, I've got a guy game to trade with me, but I haven't been able to find enough details on the rig he'll trade me, so I figured I'd ask here.
Here's his bike:
Frame: Premium Solo (He says 2014, but I can't confirm this since it's been painted [professionally]. The engraving is Premium, with their logo, the serial number is BJ1254, from what I can see)
Madera Protocol HT Cranks
Premium FYB Fork
Shadow Conspiracy Corvus Headset
Premium Whiskey bars
Random grips
Demolition pivotal seat
Kink Super Stump pivotal seat post
Mission seat post clamp
Mission Stem
DK Orbital wheels with sealed DK hubs/rear casette
Premium Sprocket (Stock)
He estimates the weight to be around 22-23lbs.
The one catch (and the seller was very forthcoming about this) is that the rims are slightly bent. Still rideable, just barely noticeable.
If this seems like a good trade, I'm perfectly fine with replacing rims/tires, But first I want to see what you guys, blessed with knowledge I don't have, have to say about this deal.
So, sound good? Bad? Fair? Any red flags?
I should mention that the alternative to this is selling my current bike for $250, and then using that and some of my own cash to get a DK Kvant for $370.
So, what say you guys? The straight-trade setup (the Premium Solo is brakeless, for record), or the upgrade to the Kvant?
Thanks guys!
J
