what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

in 1993 this 27 pound hunk of suspension cost $2,999

in 2012 with annual inflation that would be about $4,770

on Craigslist right here right now it's worth about $150

but if it gets you to the grocery store, it's priceless 

 

I just cleaned up my friend's 9500      it had purple bar ends that match the OCLV swing arm.   I felt the timewarp pushing on my face when I brushed off a bunch of Arizona dust and installed new cables and housing. Then I put a riser bar on it and rock hard 1.5" Armadillos. Seriously.

26inch wheels are the 12oz coozies of the bike world. It's all 29ers and 16ozs now. And ball bearings and 650b's. Perhaps you need a refresher course.
