Overpriced parts!
« on: May 01, 2012, 10:48:54 AM »
Check out this ebay ad for a front fork.  It was up last week and didn't meet reserve @ $112.  What are people thinking?  That thing looks pretty trashed.  I wonder if the threads are any good on the stem?  Broken and missing handlebar mount, and to top it off, it looks bent!

Ya the guy was fishing.  If the springs aren't pitted or if the shoulder bolts aren't worn out, it would be worth a little, but not near what he's asking.  I gotta believe somebody cut off that post.....I'd hate to think of the trama it experienced if it was broken off.
