Does it fit?

If it does then the deal sounds reasonable. If it doesn't then they're trying to rip you off!

I got a brand new Spyke jacket a couple of winters ago for $320-00 new. They did say that it would be a deal never repeated and they have been true to their word. Spool is a pretty good brand, whats a new one worth in the shops? Oh and make sure its a good fit. I'm loosing weight now and are having to muck around with the adjustable thingees on my jacket.

They have had cheap Spool stuff in at Sportzone Suzuki off and on for over the past 2-3 months. Nothing even remotely in my size thou (S-M) so I expect it was just stuff they were trying to clear out. Could be worth looking thou. (jackets around the $150-200 mark.)

Tassles or no tassles??

If no then don't pay too much for them.

However seeing as how you got them off the 'ex' I uppose you can't whinge too much.

Well, my RJays cordura jacket was secondhand for $150, excellent condition. Picked up brand new Tecknics cordura pants (but one season back) courtesy of Lou for $130

So you could bargain him down a bit perhaps...

Sounds a bit dear for 2 year old gear.

**Sparky Bills** · 25th August 2005, 08:47

Id wouldnt pay any more than $200 for the lot.

Is it in good condition?

**Sniper** · 25th August 2005, 08:52

If you want Speedy Girl, I can check them out for you and then tell you what I think. It does sound dear though, Im with Sparky Bills, $200 till I see it
