WTB Montague Paratrooper bicycle

Like the title says. There was another member who had one for sale but looks like I missed it. So if anyone has one let me know - thanks.

I had one that I bought in 2006 and sold it last year. I found I needed a full suspension bike as the geometry of the Montague as a bit to unsteady for me. My giant Anthem X3 is super steady going downhill and I found that I did not use the fold up feature of the Montague as much as I thought.

Is there a particular reason you want that bike? If youre looking for a folding or break down frame there are quite a few options that "might" be better in the long run. In the meantime I'll keep my eyes open, they pop on Seattle craigslist every now and then.

check ebay for the Hummer H3 version ( same bike)

Thanks for the reply - considering the folding feature as travel with the wife, kids plus our stuff tends to fill either our JK Unlimited or Wagoneer quicker than expected.

Thanks, that would be appreciated - an extra set of eyes always seems to work wonders.

BTW - what other options did you have in mind?

Yeah, I'd checked that out but there were none on ebay at time of posting.
