Trade for my Mountain Bike? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

warrior · 07-15-2012, 12:01 PM

Anyone have so many Yaks that they need to trade for my Mountain Bike? I'm looking to trade for a Prowler 13', Stealth 14', or Hobie Outback-Revo. Actually, any set up will be considered and I'm willing to put out some cash for the Hobie. The Bike is a Specialized StumpJumper M-4 and had a retail value of $1950.00 before I added the disc brakes. The bike has been used for 3 years and it has very good components. It will have a professional tune up before trade.

Thanks, everyone

I know someone looking for a bike...and may consider a trade? What size and year is your bike?

I hope I don't know who you are thinking of John

I'd do it in a flat second, but I think that bike outclasses my Ocean Kayak Scupper Pro - even with the bait tank and Humminbird...

It is a medium frame, still looking for the receipt but I think it's 09.

That's the right size.

I will send you a PM. No worries on finding the receipt.

I pulled the trigger on a used Outback today

so now the trades are open to ? or ? and maybe even ?.

Anyway, I hope the transition from my paddle yaks won't be a tough one and I look forward to meeting up with you on the water.

Not trying to burst your bubble. That particular specialized stumpjumper frame is a pre-2003 frame. Specialized Stumpjumpers had that frame 2003 and before, then they went to the shock between a bulging seat post in 2004. By 2008, they were using the 4-link style rear suspension.

Happy to say the bike went to a good home.

What did you get for the bike? Just interested cause i have a treck bike thats similar to that one full suspension disk brakes all shimano parts kevlar lined tires(best investment ever!) Been wanting to put it on craigslist just havent got all the kayaks out of the way yet.

I was asking $900.00 and sold it for $750.00. I'll probably regret it because it was in great shape; the money goes in my hobby fund, so that's good

The way I ride it is a lot more dangerous, didn't give up riding, just pushing a single speed right now.

The way I describe both Mountain Bike Riding and open water kayak fishing is "epic" they both challenge you and to get out there and do either at my age is always rewarding, exciting and an adventure.
