so hey, i fixed this beauty up and shes like butter. but the SOB has too much travel for what i want to use it for. so im looking to trade it for a freeride/AM bike. dont get me wrong its fun, but i need something that actually feels a bit more like a mountain bike, less like a dirtbike with no engine. throw me offers. also, sincve i know your all my friends and dont really want to eff me over, if you think i can get a better deal by selling off another site and buying a bike id like to know, also, how much is this thing worth, honestly.

2004 cortina DHE8 Blue/Black
9” travel rear via Avalanche racing shock. 8” front travel via Marz-888R forks. Mavic DH wheel set, Hadley rear hub, unknown 20mm front with new bearings. Hayes 8” hydraulic disk brake on rear, avid juicy 7 on front. Profile CroMo cranks w/ platform peddles. DH bars, Race Face seatpost. Intense DH tires . chris king HS, XT components. Single chain ring in front, 9 speed in back.the guy i bought it from started with the frame and custom built the entire bike for racing. approx 39 Lbs. also, when i bought the bike, the swing arm had a minor crack, i had it professionally media blasted, repaired with more gussets, heat-treated back to 6061 t-6 specs, then re powder coated. while the rear was apart, i replaced ALL of the bearings and alum. axles for the rear link, aswell as heavily gusseted the seat mast. bike is super smooth, also, i added x-stiff springs and 10 wt oil to 185 mm for a heavier rider, ill give you the stock springs aswell if ya want.

i have no clue of how much it is worth but try throwing it for sale/trade on MTBR.COM, PINKBIKE.COM, NSMB.COM, RIDEMONKEY.COM.
 
Keep it until after the Tunnel / Cold Springs trip that is coming up!
Ya gotta get at least one worthy ride on it.

Can I be the first to say.....I told ya so :p
 
Ryan,

You might do better parting that bad boy out than selling it whole. Just a thought. Whatcha got in mind for your "all mountain" build? Good luck on it.

well... as of saturday's experience im pretty sure im gonna keep it. had too much fun to get rid of it. so ill probably end up selling my KHS hardtail and saving up a bit for an all mountain bike.. i have no idea for the AM bike, pretty much anything that looks good with good comp. that is labeled as AM, feel free to make suggestions.
 
even in your darkest of hours,wen you thot its going to rain forever and that broken collerbone and rist take forever to heel,dont get rid of the d/h bike cause you ll use it again.
