Advice on a Specialized P2 needed

careca78

Hello

I’m in the verge of buying a 2005 or 2006 Specialized P2 frame along with a Marzocchi Dirt Jumper 3 100mm and a set of wheels for something like 150-200€…although I still couldn’t figure out what I want to do with it (N+1 king of thing).

Since it is “oldish” material what can you tell about it?
Where can I find some reviews?
Is there anything I should be especially aware off?

Comments will be welcome!

Thanks

Thanks, but what I really need is something like a review and some information regarding week points and known problems.

The fork is probably dead by now, it was rubbish when new and it's now over ten years old and probably never serviced.
I wouldn't buy it, they weren't great bikes.

Well... bought the frame and fork for 80€.
The frame only has some superficial paint damage and the fork is running smooth.

I intend to build some sort of "aggressive hardtail" for the wife, with 1x9 transmission and using all parts from the donnor bank. Only need a handlebar, brake discs and adapters, a BB, headset and a seat.

It's not going to be particularly aggressive with that geometry.
