    I was offered to buy this '06 IH 7.7 for $1,000.00 "NO FORK" the fork that's shown here is mine 'coz my friend wants to know how it is with DUAL CROWN. everything is stock "saint brakes and shifters, FSA cranks etc... I know for a fact that this was NEVER ABUSED.... my only dilema is I have a Intense SS and it "seems redundant" or "is it redundant" to have 2 similar travel bikes?
    my SS is a great bike and so is this :?: what are my PRO's and CON's between the two :?:

    Thank you,
    -J.

    Don't buy it. Problem solved :)

    Ask yourself this: Why do you want that 7.7? When would you ride a 7" bike instead of a 6.5" bike?

    Upside: not a bad deal
    downside: the time you are riding this bike you are not riding your SS

    If you get this one I'd sell the SS and maybe come out ahead or just pass on the IH and save/spend the money elsewhere.
