I put an add on Kijiji for a used bike, I havent got many replies except one for a full suspension Supercycle Fringe, in excellent condition, 21 speed, rapid fire shimano shifters, front disc brakes, rear v-brake, aluminum frame, heavy duty mountain bike tires, custom paint. The guy is asking $130. Below are a couple of pictures of the bike. Please check them out and let me know what you think of this bike and if it is a good price.Thanks

Its a bit of a mongrel. Although the suspension arrangement is viable, the spring looks like it came out of a matress.
The gears are OK and those look like RST forks. The disc is probably after market. I would haggle. It is OK, but not great and you could probably do better. Custom paint job? (Afternoon in the back garden with a tin of white paint). what frame damage is this hiding?
Shop about before deciding on this machine.
Luck

Unless you can get this bike for under $70, don't buy it. Take your $130 and go buy a new one at Target or Wal-mart or be patient, save some more money and buy an entry level DiamondBack for around $400 - $500. It won't be full suspension, but it will be a better bike than this one.

It used to be a girls bike because girls wore dresses everywhere and the lowered bar helped keep the dress down. I used 1 to avoid the high leg lift with bad hips. The Correct name is a step thru frame.

One thing that is very odd about this bike is that a disc brake has been put on the front tire, but not on the back. I really don't know much about bikes, but wouldn't you normally have them on both wheels?

Sorry, but it's a low end bike. There's no quick release on the rear wheel. This is always a bad sign. "Custom paint" ? It's a way to hide the original brand. No,it's not a good price. Maybe $75.

It looks like a nice bike and about as basic as you can get with a full suspension. The tires look a little worn though.

dude, honestly it looks like someone cleaned and polished a bike from Kmart or wherever.
... for $130 just go to Target and buy it new.
Edit:
....thumbs down, you punk?!
...dude. that is the total truth.
...you obviously don't know much about bikes....loser.

If it works as good as it looks it a good deal - go for it!
