I need a bike, going through two wheel withdrawals. Right now I am debating buying used or new. Obviously if I buy new (and spend enough) I shouldn't have any problems...
But the last two bikes (bought new low-mid end) I had were always breaking somehow... Eastern Traildigger and Haro X2 (way back when)... forks chains, sprockets, headsets, cranks, everything.

These are some deals I found, they have good parts:

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/bik/4806770214.html

Anything I should be weary of?

Not sure I want to buy new and have to drop $500-800 so I can have better parts.

Why doesn't Odyssey make completes??? LOL


Thanks

Odyssey doesn't make completes because they don't make frames -__-

Sunday makes completes and Sunday and Odyssey are sister companies. Buy if you cant afford a 2015 Kink Whip then get a Mongoose Mode 900.
