I will be posting photos tomorrow but wanted to get some text up to see if there's interest.

Rock Shox Judy XC fork ( 1997/98 )
They were in perfect running order until a few years (I'd guess around 2 years) after buying the bike. I tried going down hilling with a friend and somewhere down the hill something went pop in them.

They're in good condition apart from my father attempting to repair them by filling them with oil... I did tell him not to touch them but he did anyway. :?
£40

Fox Alps-5 3.5" rear air shock.
This seems in perfect working order but I'm going to be honest as it's from a Kona U'hu I bought off a dodgy chap which turned out to be a complete lemon... However, this shock does look to be basically perfect so although I'm pretty confident I don't swear by it since the guy was a bit shifty. I'd be happy to take the shock back/refund you if it's no good though.
£ ON HOLD

Dark Blue Marzhocchi Bomber mr. T triple clamp DH fork.
Apparently a very rare 4 inch travel shock. These seem to be leaking oil at the top. They also have a scratch on one of the stanctions which you can easily feel with your fingernail. Although they may just need a good service. These were off the lemon bike I bought and they could be useless but I might just be being pessimistic. Apart from seeing oil on the top cap after bouncing them up and down they feel ok so I don't know.
£TBA

Black Bomber Z1 Drop off forks.
Good condition, obviously used. Ok, yup, I got ripped off again! Honestly, I like to think I'm usually very astute but somehow all my being ripped off have come at once with this stuff...
Back to the bombers, they actually look in good condition and I was thinking about stripping and repairing them but they have just too much travel on them for my bike and for doing XC so I've decided to opt for a fork with 80-100mm travel.
I paid something like £90+ off eBay, yours for
£50.

One or two more items to come as well.

Hi coomber, this is the gumtree bike. I've offered the frame to rojo as a thanks for helping me out via PM. I'm not sure if he wants it or not but if not I'd sell it for £30, pickup only (EX13 in Devon).
 
Fair enough, just curious. No funds to start a new project really mate but thanks for the offer.

Should be weldable?
 
Yeah, should be weldable. The frame is probably savable in the right hands, I don't know any welders and to be honest haven't got the time or desire to sort it all out.
 
The Rock Shox, I gave them a very quick wipe down and they have a slight paint chips in small places, the worst shown in first pic.
