SOLD!!! Blue Niner RIP9 Size Large

[duke777]

Thinking about selling my RIP9. Great bike but need to get a commuter and not much space in the garage. Since I can't part with my SS and my 6x6 Chumba EVO so guess this baby has to go. Asking 2500 for the whole bike or make me an offer for the frame.

Here is the parts list.

2007 Niner RIP 9 frame in good condition with RP23 plus big air can upgrade!
Chris King headset red
White brother magic 110 fork with IMV
Hope pro2 hubs laced to Velocity Blunt rims(28mm at 680g!)
XO shifters and rear deraileur
XT front deraileur(5 rides)
Travative Stylo team X type crank set.....5 rides
Thomson stem and post
SRAM 980 cassette
Exiwolf tires
older XT brakes

That's all I can think of for now. I can swap the brakes out with a set of 08 red Marta SL 180 front and back with carbon levers got couple small scratches on them almost brand new...only at $2600 though. Sorry just remembered how much I paid for them.

Nice. Good luck with the sale...

I'm the second owner so not exactly sure how many miles it has....I put on total if 50-60 miles. It was 1x9 when I first got it so the crank front derailleur has about that many miles.

As pictured it weight around 29lbs.

Sorry I'd like to sell the bike whole. If anyone is interested I'll bring it to sunday morning fully ride so you can check it out.

You really are selling it. If I could sell my Blur, I'd buy your bike.

Damn! I would sell the Chumba before I sold the RIP9!!!!

Let me know when you sell your Blur Mike.

If you are really seriou about buying it I can hold it for you. I'm in no hurry to sell it, just got a Bianchi San Jose as a commuter so for now I'm leaving my car out side. But like to move my car back in soon.

I have had three Chumba's. I broke one twice and the other one once. The third one didn't fit at all and it was custom.

The Niner rides better to me than any of them. Or any kiddie wheeled bike for that matter.

You can pick up a cheep commuter bike on eBay!

WOW that's too bad. Which one did you have? I've heard there might some batches of XCLs had the problem with broken chain stays. But I have not heard any people on MTBR Chumba forum reported that problem.....that I know of. Mine fits great, super plush, crazy stiff and just feels right.....for me. Different stroke for different people I guess.

I actually just picked up a Bianchi San Jose from Path as a commuter, I like to support good LBS if when I can. We'll see how long it'll last before someone steals it.....got it on home owner insurance though.

The Niner rides nice but I want something with more relaxed Geo, plusher and stiffer. Maybe a Lenz box or Behemoth or if chumba ever come out with a 29er FS frame. Wasn't too impressed with the El Ray, or Sultan both have way high TT, my boys don't like to be that close to a metal tube....Els Evolve is quite nice but pricey and don't like the super long TT, a short stem can only do so much. So.......we'll see what I'll get for a 29er FS bike next.

My Chumba's were first generation's that I got back in the early 90's. The first one was made from Easton Varalite (sp) tubing and the other one that broke as a Scandium road bike.

Try a 120 or grater fork on the RIP before you give up. You may be surprised.

Yeah I was thinking about that fork. But the rear isn't all that plush, it's not the fork. Even after the big air can upgrade I just can't seem to get to be plush....if I get it kinda plush then there is bob. And even with bob it's not all that plush. Could be just me. Then again I'm comparing with my Chumba EVO which is like a couch. AND I like the feel of my SS better anyways. I know I'm confused! LOL Too many bike....guess that's a good problem.

Any how I might have a buyer already and need the room for my commuter. So we'll see.
