Ball park $150, they look to be going for about $225 new. The tougher part about shopping for rear shocks is just finding one that fits your frame, since there are so many different lengths and configurations.That's how KK and I felt. We rode six days in a row; by Sunday we needed a day of rest.
On a different subject, what do you guys think one of these is worth in excellent condition? I have one leftover from the Motobecane and can't use it so may as well sell it.

Rode Academy on Monday for the first time. Academy is a steaming pile of horse**** that should be set on fire, pissed all over, and then bulldozed so that someone who is not a completely inept monkey can design a new trail that is more than than just a bunch of haphazard lines drawn on a map. But, that's just my opinion.
Riding Mazeppa on Tuesday restored balance to The Force.
Even the online guys are getting empty on inventory. Firm believer in local shops for after sales support, but some decent deals can be had online.I went to two semi-local shops to pick up a hardtail earlier today. I gave myself a $2500 budget. The Specialized shop was sold out of size L and M in my price range. He did have a full suspension S-Works model just under $6k though. The Trek shop had one had a low budget no-namer brand in size M and nothing else available. I called the Trek store in Spartanburg and the guy said that they didn't have anything in M to L in my price range and only a couple of other bikes that were in the $3200+ range. All of them mentioned zero shipments coming in. Estimates of "maybe" end of July on up until December to get hardtails back in.
Have you guys ordered complete bikes from any online places before? Specifically looking for someone that will ship to my home. Thanks!

I’ve bought 2 bikes D2C, Airborne and YT. 2 friends also bought Airbornes on my recommendation, and I helped them assemble them. So I’ve done 4 D2C bikes, no regrets at all. I love the value proposition from D2C and enjoy doing my own maintenance.I went to two semi-local shops to pick up a hardtail earlier today. I gave myself a $2500 budget.

this, I stumbled into the Chameleon last week. Had all but given up and ready to wait till Oct-Dec for the 2021 models to come out. Call of them within driving distance and be ready to buy if you come across something. If found in Gastonia/Belmont/Charlotte area, I can help shuttle it to youI’d say be patient and actively search used deals if you’re trying to maximize your dollar. Otherwise, just start calling all shops and be prepared to drive.

Reading this thread reminds me how much I miss the activity. The quality and price of the technology is insane now compared to when I was riding.
After 1230. Somewhere near mooresville i think. Won’t have time to go much further than that

If all goes according to plan, we should get there at 2:00.
That I can probably pull off.
Meet up at the Pavilion?
Expect a lot of really nice used bikes on the market in 6 months or so.
Our shop is selling out of 3k$ bikes because all the cheaper stuff has been gone. Full suspension bikes that will be used to ride around their neighborhood.
