It is from 1998. Avoid.

Thanks for your comments stuart,i have yet to ride a full suspension bike, so would not know a good from bad,if the bike is in near new condition does the age really matter?and if so why?Thanks again for your time i would really hate to miss a bargain if this was a classic.

It is old, heavy, has poor geometry, you won't be able to get parts for the frame or for the shock and everything will be worn out or seized or rusty. The suspension will be a joke by modern standards and you will have much more fun on your hardtail.

Keep saving and get something much more modern.

NB i've never seen one of these, i just googled it.
