Race__24 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hey mate, I've got a Mongoose Black Diamond Double that has done very very little work. It's got all the good bits. SRAM, haynes nines, hussifelt cranks, headset, bars, chaid guide etc,etc. 8inches of travel from memory, easy to crank due to the suspension design. I'd only want around $2k for it. If you're interested in having a look give us a buzz on 0439685079 Here is a link to the 2007 model, mine is 2006 but has pretty much the same stuff Mongoose Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/225344-need-a-new-dh-bike/#findComment-3974260 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Race__24 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) Mine was selling for over $3750 at some places. That $2000 on the site is $US even with the exchange rate as good at it is, bikes seem to retail over here for 75-100% more again. Same with MX stuff. I think it's a 2005 model, didn't realise I've had it that long, price drop $1750 review/specs HERE Anyway I'm not hear to haggle, if anyone is interested please let me know, price is negotiable. It's a very well spec'd for it's rrp Edited June 27, 2008 by Race__24 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/225344-need-a-new-dh-bike/#findComment-3976683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLED Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Fair call Race 24, didn't realize it was in US $......in that case yours at $1750 seems like a good buy.

Race__24 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I might be up for a ride one day, nothing too serious. Like a trip up to Bennets or something. I'd only be able to manage a couple of runs these days, too unfit and it's a looooooooong walk back up. Belair runs might be a goer as well, catch the train back up. Never done it as yet.
