Ideally I am looking for a TT Bike for the Busso IM. I paid over $4500 for the bike a couple of years ago. Replacement cost for new is over $6k If you are looking to get into MTB and have a TT Bike to trade this would be ideal. I am 5'10-11 and this bike is great but it would be better if your a little taller.

I can email you pics of the bike.

Ideally I was hoping to trade rather than sell but if I had to put a cash price on it I would say $2500.00 - fixed.
