That is not a screaming deal at the asking price. If you have a use in mind it would be a good deal at $125. For spares probably $100. I am up to 3 full Proflex/K2 bikes and one frame. The 756 I just got for $135 I gave to a friend for a long term loaner to get him into riding.

If that were near me I would bargain with him but a buck-fifty ain't bad in my opinion

Meeting the owner tomorrow. If the pivot is in good shape and no cracks in the frame and he will deal a bit, I am going to get it.
Will report on it tomorrow.

Bike is in generally good shape. A few frame rubs from cables, but pivots are good. No frame cracks were found. The fork was stiff and had limited travel, maybe an inch or so. The rear shock needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Anyone know if there are any other rear shocks that will fit the strut on this bike. I might consider buying it if I can find a better, working rear shock.

Anyone know of any other shock besides the Noleen that would fit the beast listed above?
Thanks

You can get a Risse off the shelf or go down the route of making a adapter to fit a modern air shock.
