Honestly more than I expected, but I added all the parts and that’s what I came up with. NOS is expensive these days for that frame, and the NOS XTR 952 shifters/front and rear derailleurs, and XTR disc hubs. The only thing not NOS or new is the Tomato saddle, Monkey Lite bars, and the XTR crankset.
This one looks pretty clean and it’s your size. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Schwinn-Homegrown-Gold-Large-19-Mountain-Bike-Frame-/252353158733?hash=item3ac16b9e4d:g:LwsAAOSw0QFXDQFN
I’ve never seen a frame go for that much and it wasn’t even NOS. Sorry you didn’t get it. Somebody wanted it real bad. http://www.ebay.com/itm/252353158733?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Wow that’s pretty crazy. I don’t think I paid more than a couple hundred bucks for any of mine, and I haven’t seen prices like this anytime I’ve been keeping track.
Selling a 2001 Homegrown Limited. Tried this at auction but high bidder had zero feedback and doesn’t respond to messages. Waste of time. It’s still for sale, let me know if anyone’s interested. It’s only flaw is a small dent in the seat tube but otherwise it’s pristine!
I’ll be honest with you Dude. The frame looks to be in nice shape, better than most that are 15 years old, but people are wary of this deal now. The frame sold at an unbelievable price to someone with zero feedback. The dent in the seat tube wasn’t mentioned in the Ebay auction and multiple message offers to sell to other bidders less than 24 hours after the auction ends is unusual. Normally the seller is paid within 3 days to a week after an invoice is sent to the buyer. There is an official second chance offer option to the next highest bidder that may or may not have been utilized. You have 100% positive feedback, but all those things added up make people wary to proceed with a purchase. Just sayin…
I understand. I laughed when I saw the ending bid over $1000 and knew no one’s paying that much. I did hear back from the high bidder and I got a “Sorry, I can’t pay” message. I figured if any other bidder was serious I should contact them right away. The only bidder to respond bid $755 and then offered $300?!? Said he got caught up in the bidding. LOL! Not sure why people bid on stuff they don’t intend on paying for. But it happens a lot as I’m sure most people know already.
I bid it up over $1000 with intent to pay, but that was contingent on other buyers being interested at such prices. It’s like investing in fine art, the value is determined by other people’s willingness to pay. I’d do $650 for a great condition 2001 19″ Homegrown Limited just on its merits as a well-made frame, but the seat tube dent concerns me enough that I don’t think I can quote you a fair bid. I’d rather wait for a frame with only minor scratches and normal wear from routine use to come along.
That’s a really nice looking frame, but it’s dented in a bad place. Frames crack at the bottom bracket welds and there’s a frame like that hanging on display at Fort Myers Schwinn with a crack at the bottom bracket. If someone buying that frame wants to ride it they are taking a chance it could crack with use. JMHO

I’m looking to buy a 2000 or 2001, 19″ Gold Homegrown Factory Limited in excellent condition. I am open to frame only or complete bike.
You ever find your frame?

If your 2001 Factory Limited is in nice condition, I’d consider buying it. I’m in no hurry to get one, but I would like one someday.

If you’re talking to me it isn’t for sale. I’ve just built it and it’s not been ridden yet. the parts are almost all NOS including the frame and I got a lotta $$ in this one. Plus I usually don’t sell my bikes. A Farelli above might still have his frame. Check out above.
