I'm selling my Raleigh Ram 3.0. It has been a great bike, originally retailing over $1200. I bought it new here in Raleigh, and rode it locally. It has a few upgrades (rear shock, bash guard). You can pick from 2 sets of pedals. The bike doesn't need anything, and has been maintained. Anyway, there are no dents or cracks or anything like that on this bike, only a few minor scratches on the paint. Serious inquiries only please. Located in Cary. It's a medium sized frame at 18 inches.

what's the mileage on the frame and wheels?

5/29/2007 3:18:22 PM

They're the orig. wheels, so the frame and the wheels all have around 300-350 miles, I'm guessing... It's in great shape, and like new in many ways.
Ahmet

Buy.

6/1/2007 9:39:26 AM

So whatchu trying to sell it for?

6/1/2007 10:39:20 AM

I'm asking $540, but will accept a reasonable offer.
Ahmet

So pretty, and a good deal...too bad I just dropped a wad of cash on a new road bike.

free bttt

6/2/2007 11:00:48 AM

Ja, I'd like it if somebody bought this thing so I would have a wad of cash too
Ahmet

6/3/2007 2:33:43 AM

The bike says buy me. And what a sweet bike it is...
Ahmet

6/4/2007 2:33:07 PM

Somebody's coming to look at it tomorrow or next Wednesday. This is a good deal somebody should snatch up.
Ahmet

6/6/2007 11:56:43 PM

i can only afford 300....



if anything falls through, i'll be here keeping my hopes up

6/7/2007 12:06:17 AM

I could consider $400 ish if these people don't follow through, but I don't think I'd be willing to go quite that low...
Ahmet

6/7/2007 12:33:07 AM

im just saying... thats all i can afford


so if everything falls through and you're interested in 300 cash... give me a pm


and keep this updated so I can know too

6/7/2007 12:34:31 AM

i would be interested.. if it had a larger frame..

6/7/2007 1:35:08 AM

Ya, that's what most people've said. Wrong sized frame.

I'll keep this updated.

do they wear out or what? i don't know anything about mt bikes.

6/7/2007 5:36:34 PM

The frame doesn't really wear out, unless it's abused (thin wall aluminum, can only put it through so many stress cycles). The rest of the moving parts will wear to a degree ofcourse, but not by that much if taken care of. The gears will wear in, chain can stretch, shocks can leak, etc. Not to mention most of that stuff has been upgraded on this bike, but just like any other machine, if you shift before you have to really hammer on it for example, you really can avoid quite a bit of extra wear. Same with if you keep the shifting mechanisms well lubricated and in tune...

I'm around 170lbs, and other than log crossings and 2-4feet jumps, I don't do anything too crazy, so the bike really is in "like new" condition. I wanted disc brakes because I didn't want brakes that were susceptible to the trueness of the wheels (well, that + disc's don't get wet as easily or degrade as much when they do, not to mention ease of removing the front wheel for transport). So, the rims being out of round would not really affect this bike much, however they're about as straight as a brand new wheel anyway.

I wasn't able to show him the bike yesterday due to scheduling conflicts, and he ended up buying a new bike instead.

I can deal a bit on this, I have a trip to Europe coming up, and could use the extra money...
Ahmet

6/14/2007 11:34:11 AM

Ahmet

6/20/2007 1:46:34 PM

Taking offers above $400...
Ahmet

6/21/2007 5:11:21 PM

Had one guy offer me just over $400, but haven't heard back from him... Others? I'm leaving the country soon, will consider offers.
Ahmet

6/24/2007 11:47:51 AM

$205

7/15/2007 5:03:02 PM

I mean... I couldn't really do that. How'bout something a bit higher?
Ahmet

7/15/2007 5:55:03 PM

One, you said you could afford $300, dont be cheap now....(lol)

7/15/2007 8:56:44 PM

I have a Raleigh M80 I could sell for around $200 if you want a cheaper bike. It's a great hard tail. 05 I believe. The Ram 3.0 I won't go below $400, was hoping to get around $450...
Ahmet

7/15/2007 8:58:46 PM

I'm interested in the M80, is it disk also? frame size 18" also or bigger? Whats the starting price for the M80?

7/15/2007 10:16:54 PM

The M80 is not a disk, it's also an 18. I'd take $230, or some close offer to that.
Ahmet

7/16/2007 12:05:00 AM

BUMP!
Ahmet

7/16/2007 5:25:51 PM

Bumptastic.
Ahmet

7/17/2007 10:07:56 AM

Ahmet

7/17/2007 4:55:49 PM

ive got 300 cash for the ram 3.0


but thats only good for two weeks... and if you're interested, pm me

7/17/2007 5:12:35 PM

Darn it, that's a bit too low, alas I'll think about it and get back to you tonight.
Ahmet

7/17/2007 6:07:00 PM

Bikes are good.
Ahmet

7/18/2007 3:08:58 PM

Bumps.
Ahmet

7/19/2007 2:36:07 PM

Sent ya a PM

8/14/2007 11:46:59 AM

125 on the m80

8/14/2007 11:50:05 AM

The Ram 3.0 I have a deposit on. The M80 is missing a seat post (but I have the seat). I'd take $125 for it as is. You can generally grab a seat post for free or $10ish used from a bike shop or a message board.
Ahmet

8/15/2007 2:33:27 PM

Bumps.
Ahmet

8/16/2007 11:15:58 AM

Its a good thing you put "Ahmet" at the end of your posts so i know who posted it.

8/16/2007 1:28:41 PM

How long is the "deposit" good for?

8/17/2007 9:22:28 AM

I don't know, guy gave it to me over 2 weeks ago. If you want to give me $450 or more, and have cash, I guess I can sell it to you instead.
Ahmet

8/17/2007 9:32:05 AM

I have not been able to get in touch w/the guy. Both bikes are available. Any takers?
Ahmet

8/18/2007 7:11:41 PM

OK few more questions.

What upgrades have you performed and what parts did you use? Any actual pics of the bike?

8/20/2007 9:55:36 AM

He finally did pick up the Ram 3.0, so that's gone. Interested in the M80?
Ahmet

8/20/2007 10:56:51 AM
