ok i want a bike for odd trips to loops/shore. if it's light enough for dj's as well that's a bonus, although i'll ride anything for that. used since i doubt i'll go much and any extra money i have is going to a new fancy horse in the spring.

anyone that knows me and loves to browse bikes for sale want to point me at some good deals? :)

How picky are you? And any idea of budget? Is, say, $2000 ok? Because for that price you could buy new, like a 06 (small) Brodie Diablo from OnTop. Though if you are picky you may not like things such as the Drop-Off DC fork.
So, what do you want?

We have a small Norco 4by (03??. it's red) for sale. Lady driven :) Either a Manitou Firefly (5") or Sherman (6" dual crown) fork. Deore hydraulic disk brakes with a 8" rotor up front. Mish mash of race face, LX and XT drivetrain. There is no granny for it though. It's a solid and very fun bike.

a 4by would be good
or a devinci frantik
they both haveenough travel for drops, and are small enough to dj
Ive managed to dj on dh bikes just fine, so i wouldnt be to worried about ability to dj on a big bike

just go bargain hunting, something like a brodie nemesis from 06 would be great and could likely be had for a good price. a 4by would be awesome too. if you want something new, look into the brodie derelict or dissident, but i'm assuming the derelict is your price level. those would be perfect.

What's your budget? Not sure what used prices are like for these but maybe a Cove G-Spot? The Transition Bottle Rocket might also be fun. I don't have any experience with their frames, but the frame looks nice and compact and pretty reasonably priced even when new. People seem to love the SX Trail as well, but it might be hard to find a used one.

Barely used '05 Norco Six w/ Marz 66's. I know a guy who could hook you up, only problem is we live on Van Isle. I know he just picked up a Ellsworth Joker this summer and wants to off-load it. Not sure what he's asking, he's too lazy to post it anywhere. Now picture that. Too lazy to post his spare bike for sale. Now picture that on a bike. Yeah. Not ridden much. PM if interested.

i did a quick check on ebay for an sx. there's a medium for sale. new. nice kit. $2250 USD is the starting bid. if it's legit and it goes for near this price, it would be a good deal, assuming you can ride a medium and it fits your budget.

thanks for the help. :) but did any of you read my post?
i do like sx's a lot, but if i wanted a new bike (which i don't) i'd just go buy one at jh or dizzy's.
davek could you pm zedbra with specs and price and he can decide if it would be good for me please. he owes me now for being an ass. :)
and davet i donut think so. last summer i gave zed my last bike and every part i had in my basement and never wanted to see another one. :P

Wow I would second this bike, as long as it is not beat to crap that is a killer deal!!! I would snatch it up. A 16" frame would be pretty good stand over if you were shorter, but I am not sure if you are. Just most women like lower bikes.
