a couple perfect examples of mid to late 80's Wickeds, with cool optional paint jobs, and nearly all original parts...very cool

I concur!

I wish the grey/yellow was bigger.

I was digging the black/green one that just ended too. Wickeds out of the woodwork!

grey/yellow's seatpost is possibly a very nice one...can't make it out in the pics due to the resolution and the saddle sides hanging over, but it might be an IRD. The best seatpost made in a 26.4 size, imho
(just hard to find)

Prospective buyers should ask for a photo of the post's seat clamp to verify. I bought a Wicked just for the IRD seatpost, a little while ago. Definitely adds to the value of this bike, if it is, since the IRD posts for for a bit on ebay. Factor in the rare size, and you have a pricey post.

The bubblegum pink Wicked is a beaut. One of my favourite Fat City colours.

Here are a couple more. Newer, but still smaller sized ones:

And here is the one I would have grabbed.....if I weren't overburdened with bikes right now. I know I've got a big move ahead of me next year.....and can't be bringing ten bikes!

This one had some really nice parts too.

The one that ended was clean, and he was including the rigid fork with it. That first one where the buyer is asking for $1K, though it has a couple nice parts, isn't very nice. The incomplete one, the same.

Btw, a suspension fork on a Wicked just seems wrong :?

I have some hard choices ahead of me, with 10 bikes in a NYC apartment.

Definitely. I ran a Manitou 3 on my Wicked back in the 90's--it's amazing how sluggish a shock with just a modest amount of travel made it feel.

You have to spread them around . I keep two at a (trusted) friend's house and three at my parents' house.

Yes! Thanks for the idea...time to make some calls
