Want To Buy Frame, sm - Specialized Big Hit or similar

Looking to step up to a burlier bike. Size Small only.

In the order of preference
2006 Specialized Big Hit 2 or 3 (26" rear wheel)
Earlier model Big Hit FSR
Jamis Diablo
anything similar

On a small budget, so not looking for anything high end.

I already have the dual crown fork and wheels, but will consider a complete bike if the price is reasonable.

Thanks from LA.

 

I think Mudman still has his Spec. Demo 8 SMALL! for cheap

I have a small Diablo Frame, I want to sell but I can't.... Ex-GF (now my wife) bought it as a bday present

 

Hook, line and sinker. Another one bites the dust. Welcome to the club. :wave:

 

Thanks, but Demo 8 would be too much of a bike for me.
If you mean this,

it's also way over budget... Nice bike tho.

I will give you visitation rights for the Diablo...

 

I belive Gary (Mudman) told me his frame has been SOLD

 

i have a complete demo9 for sale, but might part out if really interested. size small.

 

Small Frame.. Big Fun!!!

"Pato" was thinking about selling his Banshee Chaparral frame!
Email (or pm) him for details...

-Small
-AM/Freeride/Trail Bike
-I "believe" the travel is adjustable from 5" to 6.5"
-People have used the frame with 5, 6, 7" & even dual crown forks
-Bombproof
-Pedals well
-Ridiculously stiff
-Built for The North Shore

The frame


Rolling DH/FR version


It's worth a try...

 

Thanks Dino. I was interested in that Banshee before, but not exactly what I was looking for. More than I can afford and couldn't upgrade the rear shock with DHX shocks in the future.

BTW, picture in the middle looks to be the newer model.

 

Just trying to help... :beer:
Don't rush the purchase!
Be patient... Purchase the frame that best suits your needs!!!

With regard to the shock: People seem to like the Romic on that frame.
Pretty sure I have seen others brands used as well!

 

I've got an 06 big hit that has just recently been powder coated, new bearings, and an 09 DHX 5.0 upgrade. Unfortunately it's a medium but there isn't much of a difference between S and M. Take a look at the dimension differences and let me know if you're interested.

Not quite what you are looking for but for the budget minded wannagobig might still have his Faith for sale.

Not sure how often he is logging on these days so if you do send a PM give it a couple days for a response.
