It was on Facebook. He sold it last night so I didn't even get a chance to see it. I'm sure another one will come along sooner or later. Hopefully sooner.

_Wilson_™ 6,563 Posted October 11, 2020 dang.... man... i have to say it did look good! .... i guess he got his asking price ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RubiDan 596 Posted October 11, 2020 I'd say he did get his price and I'd say he probably used me going to go down there as leverage. Hey, that's life. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oh400ex 629 Posted October 11, 2020 250 > Recon for your purposes IMO Fun factor can not be discounted when you are talking about having kids on it. They are both rock solid. 250 will arguably hold its value better as well... For anything utility you have the Rubicon but either are great bikes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,563 Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) yeah... wouldnt shock me if he used you to get his target price, but keep up the search bro... something will show up..... Edited October 11, 2020 by _Wilson_™ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,563 Posted October 11, 2020 you, also might check with shade ... or at least his build threads .... you never know what he might come up with. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right now they would be riding mainly on my place that is flat and hilly but the hills aren't too steep. I doubt if they'd ever get stuck with a 2 wheel drive unless it was on a sandbar in the creek and even then I'd be able to pull them out. Shade has let me know about a couple possibilities but it's just so far away. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,563 Posted October 11, 2020 it would be worth the drive! IMO, you should check out all the builds he's done. just speeking facts..... it is what it is ;-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's going on the mud bike I eventually plan on building. And I got two new ones on Amazon, just happened to catch someone dumping inventory. Got them for $180 each. That too, of course, was before they stopped making them. One of those is on the 300 Shade built for my oldest kid. The other will go on another 300 for the baby. @87Iroc ^^^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
