I was at the shop (Sixes Pit ask for my boys Buli, Emmett, Dave or Bobby) and one of the other employees was on the phone telling a customer that you can only get Boutique bikes at the moment and there sold before they hit there sites. So you just have to watch like a hawk.
Miami has lots of people with money to throw around so i see why. When im down there and see Yeti SBs riding around South Beach im like REALLY!! Really???

Sorry to hear about your loss. Maybe as time goes by you will regain some of your desire to ride again. Bike tech and overall design has come further since 2013 to now than maybe it has since the inception of MTB to 2013! If you get back into it, try out something newer, like 2019+ and see how you like it.

My Verve blows away what I would have called a MTB in 1997… I can’t believe I used to race that thing down hill.

I love a nice, well cared for 90s MTB. I don't think spec made an alloy frame rockhopper until 1996, though. Let's see some pics! I miss my Manitou SX-R.
The two bikes for sale are exceptional builds, the S-WORKS was custom built about 6 yrs ago Kenevo was last yr. Both bikes are in excellent shape.

1994 was their first year of A1 rockhoppers. I bought that one, cracked the headtube and they made a new gusset the next year on the frame which I was given to replace my broken one.

That really depends on what type of MBing you want to do. Easy almost flat trails a Walmart bike would work for awhile. But if you want to step it up for some downhills and rougher terrain you need to step the bike up.

I would say go to a reputable bicycle store and buy a lower end model from there. It will be more expensive, but well worth the extra money. As an owner of a "big box bike" I can tell you it's a heavy sled with junky suspension and crappy parts. The frame is decent, being mostly aluminum, but everything else is disposable. There is a website for bikes like this and you can make them into fun projects. But in the long run it would be cheaper to get a good quality bike in the beginning.
My wife and I rented a couple RadRovers when we were in Colorado this past June. Though we're both well over average rider weights, they did fine, getting us into Pagosa, around town and up the hill, and back to the house with a surprising amount of charge left. I'm not in a spot where I'd bother purchasing an ebike right now, preferring my lighter/simpler bikes, but if in a spot where it'd be a good car replacement I'd sure consider it. I'm ashamed that I didn't get any better photos.

150 is a pretty good stroke on a HT! Nice looking rig!I am collecting parts for a new Ti hardtail build. I have a Salsa Timberjack Ti for all around trail riding, so this will be a slacked out "party hardtail" with a 65° HT and 150mm fork. Should be super fun in the rough stuff and I should have everything but the brakes and maybe the hubs before the end of the year. Brakes have been pushed back to February by Hope.

Awesome. I never got mine after. But I am hoping to get it next year
