just bought a b1 drone hardtail in team colours from my local cash converter's for £70 it has had a fairly hard life but works well, it has xt front and rear mechs xt shifters avid v brakes, a forged raceface chainset, handle bars and stem a cane creek headset.

does anyone know much about the bike i was gonna strip it for bits but it is a cool bike to ride(better than my 06 rockhopper) :oops:

any thoughts :?:

    If it is the 2006 version, then I know the bike: I bought one!

    It retailed at 1049 quid. I paid 600 for mine: has crossmax wheels, manitou skarab fork. Great bike.

    I would say the frame was better than a Hopper.

    Good price for anything with XT!

    dont know what year it is.. it has manitou forks and is in the yellow/black team colours and i reckon the frame is better than the rockhopper.

    After reading that i thought i'd check with the local police, And there are no reports of a missing mtb with the description matching the drone :D .

    Good man - just sounded suspiciously cheap for a bike with xt stuff on it.

    It is a fair bit older than I though - early 2000s.
