Yeah, at 600 quid it's quite possibly worth buying to split for parts. Decent 66's always sell fairly easily, Bullits are easy to shift bikes too…
Does look a nice colour that, and it's making me miss my old 04 one a bit… ANd yeah, that is an 03, 04, 05 bike, with the head tube gusset and the 5th element shock.
MaverickBoy, right upto a point but i think the 02+ versions actually had a 30.0mm seatpost. I had an 01 and it deffinatley changed from 28.6mm to something else in 02+.
Nope. My 04 Bullit, and my mate's 03, both needed a 28.6mm seatpost!
I had a slightly earlier one with vbrake bosses and disc mounts) it was great fun. Not a DH bike and realistically to heavy to use as an alternative to a modern "all mountain" type bike but wicked fun. Heavy enough to give you confidence and superb for dicking about down hills.
Loads around with Boxxers up front, mine had 66s and was pretty much spot on if a little short for me, regret selling it big time.
Not too heavy to use as an all mountain bike I'd say. I've ridden a couple that came in at under 30lb all in… Ok, you'd have to run lightweight single crown forks (like a Revelation, but Bullits are fine with anywhere from 125mm-180mm travel forks), fairly light wheels etc. But it's perfectly do-able. Frame is just over 9lb including 5th shock and steel spring, so not massive.
I had a set of 02 Boxxers on mine, and it was perfect IMO. The only thing that annoyed me was the lack of steering lock. A good set of 66's is probably a more modern ideal match as you get the performance and the steering lock.
Anyway, if you did buy it and split it… I'll take the Charge Spoon saddle! :wink:
