    Looking to buy a new bike/or frame

    I am looking to buy a new full suspension bike or frame. What if any bike shops take trade ins? I have a 2003 Marin Alpine trail and I am looking for something with a little more travel/rear support.

    MOAB also had some Ellsworth frames last time I was in there.

    What I really want is a 06,07,08 Marin Wolf Ridge frame or a Marin Team downhill any year after 2002 frame or full bike if it is reasonable. I have so many parts I hate to add to the part box by buying a complete new bike. So if anyone can help message me.

    I'm sure Mark (MOAB)can get you a frame-only deal. That's where I got my Turner years ago.

    Thanks guys but it look likes now I am going to have to buy a complete bike. I placed my Marin with all my good components on it on e-bay and on here in the classifieds. So lets all try and find me a reasonably priced downhill bike that can support my 6'3 240 pound frame and can hold up to my love of dropping off stuff!!!! I know all you love looking for bikes anyway. So help a fellow rider out.

    Yeah that Rogue would be a dream! Its just depends on how much my bike sells for and how much cash I can scrap together. By the way guys I have no bids on my Marin and it only has 4 days left. Can you all check out the e-bay post and tell me if I am asking to much or if I left anything out that could be keeping people from bidding? The link is as follows
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MESE:IT&ih=012

    I thought I gave a pretty good description of the bike and it got great aftermarket parts on it. Parts alone would be over $500 and thats the starting bid. Do people not know that Marin is one of the top companies? Basically I am stressed cause I need it to sell it at a pretty good price so I can get what I want also I love that bike and I don't want it to be undersold. Advice appreciated
    Thanks

    Ebay is a snipers market these days... I know, I'm one of them. Wait it out and keep your reserve where at the lowest price you'll take. Timing is everything.

    Don't forget you can sell on Ridemonkey and also on MTBR Classifieds (for only $2)
