    Welcome to the forum! Congratulations, I actually contacted the seller last night and was considering snatching it up but its just a little to big. Glad you found your dream bike, I know how exciting it was when I found my easton in a 16″ – it seems they always come up when you aren’t really looking.

    I may be interested in that 14″ if you decide to part with it. I could use another 14 to build up for my mom so I can take the comp back :)

    I’m totally seeking a Mag-21 in decent cosmetic shape, I don’t care what shape the internals are in, I can rebuild..

    I have a few that may fit the bill. What year is it for? I have a couple different styles. The earlier dark gold ones with black arch, the 94ish with matching brace amd 95/96 which was lighter in color like judy xc. I’m sure I can part with one or two

    Mag 21 would also be sweet, or if you could find an Mag 21 SL Ti even better. Most will need a rebuild if they haven’t already had one though. I think they are one of the better performing short travel forks when in good working order, and they are super light. I actually have a few i could part with but they could probably all use a rebuild. That is the fork pictured in the barracuda ad someone posted in one of the other threads

    Some people just don’t want to put any effort into a sale too, like just take the cash and wheel it out of the house to the buyer. I’ve even offered, against my better judgement, to put cash in an envelope and send it to people without paypal and they often refuse. So frustrating, considering that almost every bike shop will ship bikes so it could be something as simple as them dropping it off and washing their hands of the matter.

    Then again, if everyone was willing to ship and had paypal, there probably wouldn’t be as many great deals to be found on CL. I have paid via cash 10x or so in the last year and have yet to be scammed, and this has yielded things like a RS Sid Team for 20 dollars, 3dv Ringle stem with answer hyperlites for 20 dollars, etc

    If not for the fact that shipping to ny would be an extra 100, plus another 50 should he have a bike shop “professionally” pack it i would be all over it. Good deal for someone a little closer though

    Most likely the grease solidified in the shifter and the little lever inside isn’t falling in to the detents. very common for the old rapidfires to not click into position past certain gears or at all when the grease dried up, which often happened after they stopped having regular use

    I almost had a 95 Cuda Comp in good shape with liquified elastomers in the shock and flat tires for 40 bucks last summer and it was listed for like 2 weeks. I kept calling him but he wouldn’t ship. Last year there were a lot of deals like that i came across, 75 dollars for my a2x, i saw an XX team for 50 bucks…

    Looks like a 16, this guy has been trying to sell it for like 6 months now, originally he wanted like 5-600 for it or something crazy like that. Definitely not aware that it was a a lower/middle range bike that cost about that brand new at full msrp with a very small (although dedicated) following. The price is finally getting somewhat reasonable

    yup….still jealous…guy that I worked for in the shop he co-owned has an A2T and I always loved it….but I love my Comp as well….it was my first MTB…bought it with the insurance check after my PK Ripper was stolen actualy.

    I believe your comp has the same frame as the A2T right? I just looked at the serial number on mine today and it began with “AX” which would lead me to believe the only difference between it and the top of the line was the running gear

    Yeah, damn hoarder!!! :mrgreen:

    Sometimes i get a little possessed and have a tendency to buy out the market for a short period. Last year for like a month straight i snatched up every Sram ESP 9.0SL rear derailleur on ebay, and saw the price jump like 15-30 dollars on average to 50 or 60, probably because of me single handedly
