    Don’t really need this, but rather tempted due to the asking price of £800 for the complete build as follows:

    – Medium ’08 frame (bought Christmas 2007)
    – Marzocchi Bomber 55 ATA Forks (are these the dodgy year model?)
    – Marzocchi Roco TSTR Shock
    – Deity Vendetta 2 Cranks Seat and Bars
    – Avid Juicy Ultimate Brakes 180.x180
    – Transition Wheelset with Maxxis High Roller and Larsen TT Rear
    – SRAM XO Derailleur X9 Red Cassette
    – Raceface Evolve Seatpost E13 Bash
    – Hope Stem Hope Seatclamp
    – NYC Race handmade custom Pedals

    Would make a great ‘play’ bike wouldn’t it? Looks the business to me… owner reckons it’s sat in a shed after just 2 months use (had an injury and then just got old 😉 )… tempting, tempting…

    Can’t say for sure, but the graphics on the forks look like 08 or 09 models – these were the dodgy ones. Worth checking which ones were faulty – I think it was the ones with the TST cartridge or something. Even if they are, £800 for the rest of the build is still a good deal…

    edit: apart from the seat – I had one of those and thought it was poo.

    Looks like a bargain, think the frame is on one website for £400 ish

    If it works in fine order then it’s a belter of a bargain, I’m gonna ask some questions about it though…
