2001 Redline Monocog. 26" wheels. First Generation with the BMX hub spacing. It's the same geo as their PL-26. Full Chromoly. Size is 23" toptube 19" seat tube (16.5 from center of crank to center of top tube) Upgrades include Tioga BMX pedals, Shimano XT brakes, Avid levers, Black Ops cartridge bearing red anno wheelset, Vee DJ tires, OURY grips, Dark Cycles bashguard with cools flames, Zee chainring, ACS freewheel, 60mm Kona stem, and the best: 80's era Tuf Neck handlebars to make it more of a klunker/BMX cruiser.

What is current market value, you suppose?
Not that that has ever stopped me from paying full retail.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Monocog was never too expensive to begin with, so I doubt resale would be too high, but on the other hand, I've never read a bad review. Everyone loves them. I'd buy it

 

[One-eyed Sailor]

Sold to the man with the curious smile lol
I would pay 4 as it shows. Meeting tomorrow.

 

[JA331]

Very cool ride.

You can never have too many bikes only not enough places to put them.

1983 Scwhinn XR7, $50. Not the original saddle and missing the straps but for some reason she reminds me of my mom.
Gold is a bonus!

worth the price of admission right there

I guess that you'd call this a fresh find since I've been looking for an Avenger since last summer. I looked and looked for one used, to no avail. Then last November a website not-to-be-named listed them as "shipping" now. I immediately placed an order for one only to realize it was BS and I cancelled the order.
I could not get any firm information so I waited patiently while it snowed for the next four months.
In April I was at my favorite LBS Cranky's and asked them about the Avenger. He said it looked like they would be available in May so I put a deposit on one and it arrived May 10th! They aren't stocked in stores from what I've been told but available to special order.
This is Philler Bill:

He's named after a dear friend that passed away a few years ago.

Pedals had to go and I'm thinking of installing Avid BB 7's just because.
Now shopping for a knit hat, skinny jeans and a flannel shirt.

Abraço

@One-eyed Sailor
I want to know what makes this bike special to you, so much that you would special order one. The spec sheet can’t really tell me that.

I'd be getting rid of that seat. Looks like it don't breath have a specialized seat that doesn't breath that's left me with a bullseye in a rather uncomfortable place.
