Hi
I have been offered a rocky mountain etsx 30 second hand, but i know next to nothing about this model does any one own one ?and what are your thoughts on it?
I mainly ride cross country and currently own a 1999 model Marin rift zone. Is this bike going to be better than the Marin and is it any lighter or should I look elsewhere?

Cheers for your thoughts
Tony
