Want To Buy Bike For Wife

[cbHarping]

She's 5'5"

a Ventana? Sounds too good for my wife to ride.

At 5'5", she most likely will not need an XS. I'm 5'4" and any XS I've ever tried is too small for me.

Selling an X-Small Salsa Ala Carte for $495. Pick up a used fork for cheap and you'd have a killer bike. XT Equipped/ BB7s /OX Platinum tubing, 1x9.

My gf is selling this bike... 07 Specialized HRXC in a size S (15") - She's asking for $550

I will start a for sale thread for it soon with more details.

What's your price range? My friend has an 05 Specialized Enduro Pro that he's thinking of selling.

Ellsworth Isis

I recently built up an extra small Ellsworth Truth for my wife. Once she gets used to it, I'll probably sell her Ellsworth Isis. The ISIS is an 05 frame but looks almost new (probably less than 50 miles total use). The Fox Float R shock is currently at Fox getting re-tuned because it had lost some of it's travel. The bike has a newly built Hope Pro II wheelset and XT / XTR derailleurs. After the shock gets back, I'll probably list the bike on ebay.

How tall is your wife?

With the STR discount, how much are you looking for.

My wife is about 5' 5". But, she prefers a slightly more upright riding position and more standover. So, she has always been on a smaller bike. The Ellsworth Isis is an XS frame. It has tons of standover. The cockpit can be adjusted with a setback post and longer stem, if desired.

I just recently started thinking about selling the bike, so I don't have a firm price in mind yet. I guess I'd be looking to sell the complete bike around $1000. I may be able to go a little lower with a cheaper wheelset (instead of the Hope Pro II's) if desired.

I've got a 2000 Turner 02.
4.5" travel
Spinergy Wheelset
XTR componets
Hope Mini brakes
Talas fork 2006

Turner called it a 15" bike which would make it a small to medium. They recommend this bike for 5' to 5'6".
The bike was rode almost every weekend for 5 years but is still in excellent shape. Rear triangle has a small dent but other then that, it's sound. Paint has faded but I have decals and bushing kit for it if you'd like to get it painted.
I'd like to get a grand for it but will negotiate with a reasonable offer.
