Buy a roller or complete bike?


Recommended Posts

So I've been stashing money every week saving up for another banshee. Getting close to 2k so far.

Now my question is, do I try to find a blown up banshee with decent pipes and suspension for the cheaps and rebuilt to a 4mil ss or cub ..... Or just save another 1500 or so and buy a built one?

I ride trails and coal so I'm not looking for anything too crazy.

Really depends on what is available and if you don't mind tinkering around on them. Some prefer to find an already built bike and some prefer the rollers. I prefer to buy a cheap roller because no matter how nice a bike is there is always something I want to change (personal touch) so I would rather spend the cheap and build it how I want it instead of spending all my money on a nice bike that still has things I want to change but no extra funds left to do it. To each their own tho. Good luck in your hunt.

Eventually not much will be stock either route I take... The thing is I'm looking at probably driving to michigan or trevorton area to find a nice bike... Pittsburgh area quads, especially banshees are always beat and priced way too high..

 

Few examples..

I wish people wouldn't list boost bottles as an upgrade.

The first 2 aren't bad. The second I would offer 4k with the hipers. The rest of the parts are there. A few trades an a couple sales and you can have a more then decent bike. All that's left is the motor. Which IMO is a great way to buy it.
