Re: anyone know??

This should be in the XYZ thread at the top of this page really.

The Fire Mountain is pretty low rent and that looks like a manky one at that.

You might get £50 back if you split it for parts though by the time you've covered postage and or ebay/paypal fees you'll be lucky to make anything on it.

Who ever sold it to you got about as much as it's worth.

^^^^ try reading replies above!!

I think it's a nice bike - looks ok. Kona for £50? Fantastic!! You won't make loads of cash on it so make it work well and enjoy riding it.

I'll give you £55 for it - quick profit? ;-)

The parts were definitely worse than the frame, steel chainrings on a CPI chainset, Tektro brakes, STX rear mech. All functional stuff but definitely heavy.

It's a nice frame for budget upgrading with some tidy secondhand bits. And they do handle nicely!
