I bought this bike in the spring with intentions of doing more downhill riding, I never got around to that and I think I used this bike on tar and streets more than any trail. Finding time to do a downhill run isn’t easy for me, even if I live 20 minutes from a ski area with downhill bike trials. I’ll probably replace it with a hardtail mountain bike. It has some scrapes on the paint, but nothing major and is in excellent shape. If you are considering using this bike as a daily rider or all around trail bike you may want to give it a second thought. It weighs 44lbs and the bikes geometry sucks for pedaling. Its purpose is to go down a hill quickly. The 8"+ suspension travel is plush and likes to soak up your pedaling power up any hill. Give it a rough downhill and it will take anything, then come back asking for more. MSRP new was $3199.99, I am asking $2250.00 (firm) I may decide to keep it and pick up another hardtail bike for trail use if it doesn’t sell, I’m in no hurry to sell this bike.

If I didnt just drop about $3K on bikes this summer I’d be all over it. I love the DW Link suspension setup its super predictable and incredibly active. I can vouch though this is a great price based on his pictures showing it is in like new condition. P.S I kinda wanna steal your photo know how and have you snap pictures out on the trail some time ha ha. ---

Yep, the dw-Link is very consistent in feel. I made the mistake of riding a friends hard-tail a couple weeks ago, my legs didnt burn pedaling up a paved hill…or on a flat surface :lol ---

Its light compared to the Sunday but its still built up with Freeride parts and comes in around 33lbs which is hefty for a bike with no rear suspension. I hate climbing with that thing. Probably why it spends all its time either Urban hucking or being lifted up a mtn via chairlift. ---

I like the Trek Elite 9.7 or Trek 8500 hardtails, I would get one or the other if I sold the Sunday, if I keep it I’ll look into a 3900 disc or see what I can find for something in decent shape thats used. ---

Really nice bike!!! I just bought a Giant Yukon FX and I have to agree… I really like my hardtail from a few years ago over the full suspension bike. You definitely work a lot harder with all the suspension! ---
