Ive been offered a 2003 model in black, with the brain rear shock, pace RC36 carbon forks, XTR components and deore disc brakes. All it needs is wheels and a seat/post.

Should i?? I wanna!

    You should, but ask why its missing wheels and seatpost.

    wheels - because they guy it came from couldnt find them - your guess is as good as mine

    seatpost - because i think he wanted it for his new bike

    thats a very mature assumption.. i can assure you it hasnt been though. Perhaps i wont bother posting anymore if accusations of having a stolen bike are going to fly around.

    FYI - it doesnt have wheels because the chap that it belonged to was selling it a few months ago and they were wrapped up individually. He then found out that posting the bike was going to cost more than he thought and didnt bother. He has sinced moved house and was selling this FSR and a Klein attitude race that my friend bought off him.

    As a result of moving he cant find the wheels - which is a shame as they would have been good!
    I know this is an accurate story as i spent half an hour removing sticky residue from parcel tape earlier.

    The bike is sitting on my living room floor at the minute. its in pretty good condition aside from the graphics which are all but worn away. the anodised finish to the paint is still good though.

    Anyway, price is rather good, i think anyway. Im reluctant to say what it is though - might get even more accused of having a stolen bike :(
