Having not been into mountain biking for that last 15 years - road and cycle cross having taken over i’m massively out of touch.

i have a 1998 MokoMoko still knocking about which I’ve only really used when the kids were learning to ride. It’s a mix of XT and XTR.

is there any value left in it.  Worth dusting off ??

what sort of value?  Would a newer bike be a massive step forward?

If there is any value left it'll be found at Retrobike

A newer bike would be a huge step forward, but i'll probably take time for you to adjust to them.

Good lord, I had a Manomano (same suspension design but further down the range) and without my 90s rose-tinted specs on it was a bit rubbish. OK, a lot rubbish but I wonder how much of that was the terrible Indy XC forks.

Flog it to someone on retrobike for them to polish. You have a whole new world to discover of bikes with brakes and suspension that work properly.

Think it’s  a 18” medium.  Just need to make space so probably move it on

Very little value. £100-200 quid max I would guess (depending on condition of course), if you could even find someone looking for one. They weren't great when new imo, anything new would blow its socks off.

I have an earlier Kona, works well as a blast for SS duties and has been on long trips as well; I haven't had a 15 year break from MTBs but I would struggle to go back to it as my only bike, now, having got a much more up to date bike..

XTR bits might be worth a bit (especially if it has XTR v-brakes). Whereabouts are you?
