I'm selling a 2002 (w/2003 swingarm) Joker that I haven't been using for a while. It is an XL, the 6" travel version, and has a painted green front triangle with stickered logos, and an anodized swingarm (so that may be a 2001?). The shock is a vanilla RC.

In any event, whichever year it is, both the front triangle and the swingarm were warranty replaced, and have been ridden very little since replacement and as such the bike is in excellent condition (it's been on a long term loan-to-buy deal to a buddy who didn't ride it much due to injury and then flaked on buying it from me once healthy).

It would make a very nice trailbike (moreso if you PUSHed the shock). I'd build it back up but have a hardtail I ride when I'm not riding lift served, and need some money.

I'm thinking somewhere in the $600 range (plus shipping from boston) but I"m open to other offers. Not interested in trades.

working on getting some--might be able to tonight.

i could also sell as a complete with an lx/xt drivetrain, avid mech rear disk, trailpimp rear wheel, white bros 6" inverted fork (in poor condition, would ultimately need replacement sooner than later), old hope front brake, and a sun mammoth laced to a hope big'un hub up front. the mammoth rim would also need replacement soon. but that would give you something rideable (maybe not huck-able) right away.

would you consider a trade for a trek fuel 90?

how much for the complete bike?

$1050. bear in mind the fork/front wheel are in rough shape, and it is a somewhat hodgepodge build (i.e. the headset was stock off of an orange kona so it has this wierd orange trim that looks odd with the rest of the bike).

i want a bike that is good on the trails, and can handle some jumps

that's exactly what it's for. not the best for hitting a 6pack of dirt jumps if that's what you mean, but an awesome trail bike that will also handle drops and getting off the ground.

as i have said, i'm working on getting some pictures and will post them when i have them.

I'd like to come look at it and possibly take it for a spin sometime, do you think we could work that out? What size brakes are they and what condition is the rest of the bike in aside from the front fork and wheel?
Thanks
