Obviously great value but would really need to ask them about the warranty etc.

Go for it!...

From their site "All Iron Horse bikes on CRC are covered by a standard 1 year warranty"

I rode one and it's very good. If I had the spare cash I probably would. I still miss my Lobo..... 🙁

I don't quite get how they can't be in stock if they are 2009 bikes?

Iron horse got bought by GT, so no worries on the warranty they are covered.

They are one of the best DH frames every buil; shame they forgot to pay for the DW link. That said the design is basically 6-7 years old and they aren't that light, usually around 35lb if you drop a fair bit of cash. A budget build will be around 40lb.
Due to the linkage there are alot of bearings and they do wear, but they aren't expensive to replace.

They ride really well and track brilliantly, even if you go for a budget build you won't be disappointed.

Evans sold of their old Iron Horse stock in January.
I had a hard think about the warranty issue but decided to go for one.
Managed to pick up a Sunday Elite for a very very good price, great bike!

If you need spares for a Sunday, Pearce Cycles stock everything you need.

They also have the frame parts list [url= http://www.pearcecycles.co.uk/files/07_sunday_frame_exploded_1.pdf ]linky[/url] usefull for stripping the bike down/removing the shock etc.

All other tech info for Sundays can be found in [url= http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=168138 ]this forum thread

Your not going to find a fully specced DH bike for that price for along time!

So tempted to get another MkIII before they're all gone. Superb riding bike, DW link goodness at a bargain price.

Well the second hand price of a sunday just fell like a lead balloon.
Glad I got rid of mine many months ago.

Do you think these might have been built up with a little help from the parts bin or was the spec always a little suspect on some of them?

I fell out with CRC over a warrenty issue. Never bought anything from them since. Wiggle have been excellent.
