All,
For those of you looking for an exceptionally efficient and versatile cross
country race machine - this is your baby. With "The Brain" technology in
both the rear shock and front fork (Fox F100X Terralogic), you will be on a
machine that is still far more efficient than anything available on the
market today - and it works with out any goofy manual lock-outs to forget
about when you hit that bumpy downhill section! Frame size is XL, color is
silver anodized, with red bling bling (mostly Chris King).

New in 2004 this bike cost $5500 list (fully built), and $3200 just for the
frame set. Today's production model/version of this bike costs $9900
(granted, in the carbon fiber frame).
This bike clearly has been ridden a lot, has 2 dings in the aluminum frame,
a few scratches and lots of rub marks. But it has always been
exceptionally well maintained, constantly upgraded, and continually babied.
I still get people asking me if this is my new bike ...
*I'm asking $1,100.* The Chris King parts on this bike alone retail for
well over $800.
