Hi All
After months of pounding my D8 to and from work I have gotten jack of trying to ride 45 lbs of cro-mo up hills. I've seen a 2003 Mongoose Meteore Team for $1200 and I am considering buying it. It has the following specs:
Frame: 7005 Triple Butted Tubing. (Hardtail)
Fork: Manitou Skereb Super.
Size: Large.
Colour: Red/Black.
Shifters: XT Rapid Fire.
Brake Levers: XT.
Brake Calipers: XT 4Pod Hydro's.
Cranks: XT
BB: XT
Hubs: XT
Rims: Mavic 317 Disc.
Saddle: Fizik Nisene Red/Black Titanium Rails.
Stem: Easton
I plan to use it for commuting XC and trail riding. I weigh about 110 kgs, am 6'4" on a good day.
The spec looks pretty good but is there anything I should watch out for? How much do you think I should haggle for it?
