My friend just bouught one on ebay for £301.
It has 07 marzocchi 66's, rear juicy 3, and i'm not sure about the rest.
Firstly, is it a good bike?
Secondly, is it a good deal? Bear in mind it needs a full service, so is it a good deal for £350?
Also, we mainly ride xc/trail, or AM. will it be ok for that?

    If it all works and is legit/no damage etc that is an insanely low/good price

    oh and it is a big hitting rig, light freeride/DH, and all mountain, you wouldnt want to be doing XC all day on it

    Based on what you've said, sounds a bargain.

    They were re-released in '08 I think.

    Probably too soft and heavy for what you have in mind per-se. But, it'll keep 'em fit climbing on it.

    P.S. "rear juicy 3" Just a rear brake? Juicy 3's a pretty pony/ But pull them and you stop, which is the crux of it really.

    thanks.
    I think this one weighs about 17.5kg/38.5lbs, so about what his old apollo used to weigh, but yeh he won't be doing all day xc. We mainly do surrey hills and swinley, so it should be fine for that.

    and Pjay, it does have a front brake, but i don't know what it is. I have juicy 3's, front and rear, and their fine, but if i did dh, i'd want something more.

    Compared to an Apollo it's going to day and night to him.

    Don't be surprised if he leaves you for dust on every fast / tech section when he's used to it. it's a serious quick gravity machine ha ha.

    yeh, the bullit will be very differnt, as his apollo is a 'ful-sus' but the rear is basically rigid, and the forks are about as firm as the springs you get in pens.
    hopefully i'll still be faster downhill, and i'll definetly be faster uphill

    I did have a scott gambler FR 20, but I just sold it and got a cove STD. I'm usually at either the gulley, fast line or baby maker, hanging with my mates and making the place look untidy :lol:

    ok, i'lll look out for you. he probably won't have the bike and have it serviced for a couple of weeks, but once that's sorted we'll go to swinley, probaly on a saturday. They'll be 3 of us - my other friend has a blue ridgeback mx2, and the bullit is blue aswell. Look out for us - were all about 13/14.
