'96 Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo 18" Vintage Steel 26er MTB Frame Matte P.C. Green!

Description: I rescued this made-in-the USA vintage steel 1996 Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo the other day and am pleased to be making it available to you here. It's an 18" model and the colorway is the very desirable Matte P.C. Green. While overall it's in very nice condition, what's not so desirable is the bare metal and paint issues around the bottom bracket shell that will need to be sorted. See the photos and VIDEO! That said, and to reiterate, overall, the frame is in decent shape. There are a few of the usual nicks, marks and scrapes from use, but in my view at least, there are a lot fewer than I usually see. The chainstay in particular is in good condition. There is no chainsuck damage. And no kickstand has ever been installed, it appears. The underside of the downtube is excellent, offering evidence the bike was never really ridden that hard. I don't even see much of the usual storage damage that so often afflicts bikes I get. The frame takes a 27.2 mm seat post, and I may still have the one that was on the bike originally, please see my other listings. 135 mm rear spacing; the top tube measures 21.5" or so. The head tube is 4" long and takes a 1-1/8" headset. Everything is straight and solid. It's ready for you to give a little love - and build up! Finally, for a better understanding of the bike's overall condition, PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE and see the MANY PHOTOS I HAVE INCLUDED BELOW, RIGHT IN THE LISTING, IN ADDITION TO THE 24 THAT EBAY NOW ALLOWS! I want you to know what you're getting! "WILL THIS BIKE FIT ME?" Please refer to the LAST IMAGE in the set above, it's a handy chart I found on the excitebikes.com website. It provides some information to help you decide if this frame is right for you. Bike fit is unique to each rider, and so this information is provided as a guideline only. Please consult a local bike shop before purchasing if you are unsure! About the shipping: please know, I do not mark up shipping, I charge whatever eBay's system tells me. The cost to get it to you is a function of two things: 1) the size of the box I have available to ship it, and 2) your distance from New Jersey. Thanks for understanding! That about does it. If by chance you need any components to complete your build, please let me know. If you have questions about the frame, please ask before bidding. ZERO FEEDBACK BIDDERS - welcome to eBay! I'd love to provide your first positive rating. Just message me before bidding, mmmmmm-kay? Thanks! Item sold used "as is". No warranties, implied or otherwise. Auction winner assumes all liabilities and must be based in the USA - no international buyers. Sorry but I cannot ship this frame outside the continental USA, and I will not ship to a freight forwarder either. Why? Because eBay says that I no longer have any seller protections if a freight forwarder is utilized. Thanks for understanding! I take great pride in the way I pack frames for shipment. I have to use new cardboard boxes from Amazon ($8-$12 each) because my local bike shops can't always provide me with boxes in the sizes I need. Smaller frames ship with forks removed (if present), rear triangle blocked with wood, and lots, lots, LOTS of crumpled up newspaper to ensure the frame doesn't move around inside. Larger frames also ship with the rear triangle blocked with wood, and with any fork still attached. I use cardboard bracing in several key spots (front and rear brake bosses, bottom bracket, rear dropouts) along with heavy-duty zip ties to ensure the frame does not move around once the box is closed. The process is tedious but the results are worth it, as my past customers will attest! Finally, Check my feedback and bid with confidence. I ship *FAST* and don't sell JUNK!TERMS AND CONDITIONS: By placing a bid or using buy it now the buyer agrees to the following terms and conditions: Every effort has been made by the seller to inspect, photograph and accurately describe this item's condition, however all items are sold AS-IS.
