In early 2005 I bought a 2004 FS bike in the sales. £999 bought me 100mm travel, basic Manipoo Blacks, basic Float R shock Vee brakes, own brand finishing kit, 317 rims and crap tyres, and Deore group with XT mech.
I've just done the same thing on a 2008 bike, for almost exactly the same price, from the same maufacturer
For the same money I got delivery (OK, not really relevant!;o) lots more travel, Quality bolt through forks, more adjustable RP2 shock, good hydraulic discs with 185/203mm rotors, DT rims with bigger, far better, kevlar tyres on them, a slightly better level of own brand finishing kit (2 bolt seatpost, OS bars, cartrige bearing front hub) and a similar level of drivetrain but with HT2 cranks and SRAM instead of Shimano.
Yeah, I can see some improvement there!
