i think it's a symptom of our throwaway society - buy some new and shiny crap every couple of years rather than getting some 2nd hand quality :)

just picked this up tonight - 1997 Specialised Hardrock - £30 on gumtree - a few wee scratches here and there but thats all - it's just a case of looking and waiting till you find what you want. you can also rescue some not too bad stuff from bins and skips

Picked up the HardRock tonight - pretty chuffed at condition - a few scratched here and there but even has the original tyres :D Phone pics not that good so i'll get some decent pics with a real camera when i find it - but well worth £30 :lol:
