Need Dub Chopper Info ASAP

[wheelhorseman]

I am talking to this guy about this chopper and have concerns. As an adult 5ft. 6ins. tall could i ride it comfortably? He said it was smaller than a Schwinn chopper. I tried to ride one of them and hated it because my knees wre under my chin.

Whats you guys honest opinion about buying it? Is that a good deal? Getting my money back if i dont like it would be impossible. The seller is waiting on an answer and has agreed to Paypal too.

75.00 is alot if I cant ride it or resell it plus a long drive to go get.

Well if I had to guess I'd say you'd be fine. The banana seat sits up way taller and farther back than the stock one did. I did a similar modification on a Schwinn OCC and had no trouble riding it, and I'm 6" 1" tall.

Well i sure do like it. Is that a fair price? My goal is to put hi rise handlebars on and keep it. I wanted some quick opinions so i could Paypal and grab it now.

Its really all up to you, that fork, if sold on here could get about 40-50 bucks alone.

Tha tank areas dented from forks.
Cant tell ya yay or nay about buyin it.

if that is small than a schwinn he is blowing smoke... I rode the schwinn at 6 1 .. and was not what I would call
a good ride... that is seat is not the best .. to say the least... and if you have doubts... then dont spend the gas money

I spent 76 bucks in gas today to get one... but the seller .. was a pretty ok guy(ratrod) and it was a nice bike..
that style of bike is hard to give away for 50 or free ... if you like it go for it.. but if you are on the fence ..
dont spend the gas money

It belongs to me now i bought it. I have this sinking feeling i will regret it. Selling it is not an option. Barely got 20 bucks from a rough Schwinn. I was not familliar with the dub but liked its look. I have a white banana to put on the bike i just hope its not too small for me. With that banana seat sitting farther back than the origonal it should with my short legs. Proper comfortable fit is my only concern other things like gearing and handlebars can be modified.

You can put any handlebar on it. The gearing already looks a little low so it should pedal easy. Same tires as on the Jesse James choppers, they are nice. I think fit should be easy with seat adjustments, and with that post or swapping another, you should have tons of room for adjustment.

Not a bad price on a Giant, only looking at the photos a second time did I notice the name brand. When we had a LBS they had some Giant Stilleto choppers in the store and they were made very nice.

That bike is B.A. I would be all over that.. But I'm 16 and 5'9 sooo. But I'm sure people would be all over those parts.. Heck I would be :mrgreen:
