Seems like somebody should have bid on this...

I always wanted to try one of those frames, but the last thing I need, or would be allowed to get, is another cross country frame.
I wonder what the reserve is.

It is going to be hard to sell K2 stuff on ebay/mtbr while supergo is selling off the old stock so cheaply!
-
It shows how "marketing and style" drive what should be a practical decision-that certainly looked to be worth bidding on. Wait wasn't there a breakage problem with that year frame?
-
for whatever reason, i dunno either, nice parts mix,
he should try again
weird to have an XTR front der and a rear XT. nothing wrong with it, though

He probably realized that while the XT and XTR rear derailleurs are functionally identical, the XTR front derailleur actually used a fancier "parallel plate" technology. I don't think it actually made much difference, though some people claimed that it made shifting in the front more consistent. I think Shimano stopped using the design though, for whatever reasons...
Depending on the reserve, that bike probably could have been bought, parted out, and sold for a profit. You never know...
This one was almost more shocking though. Brand new frame, fork, and stem for $280?! Sheesh!

;) That looked like a good one too!
If any see's good deals post them I am always looking for a excuse for a new bike.

There were no takers because this same exact (xtr rear XT front) bike is available at Supergo brand new for $999.99.
$1300 of retail!
How they can do this I don't know.
