Revolt is the transfers.Xt,xtr parts ,shifters xt,Mavic rims are what I can see.

Headtube logo is Sunn I think?
Looks pretty crusty though, mismatched wheels, might be a few decent parts on it though.
No idea on value, depends which model it is (if it is indeed a Sunn MTB).

Edit: Revolt is the model name, so it probably a Sunn Revolt, try a Google search for similar bikes.
There's a few Sunn experts on here who might be able to tell you what model year it is.

Looks like it's been left outside for a long time, Cranks and maybe the chain rings worth a few quid, Syncros stem with sloping top cap too is worth having but I never pay much for bikes like this. Everything is usually seized solid and needs destruction to get it apart/ moving again. As most bikes they are always worth more in bits.

Sunn made a lot of their own finishing kit under their Rudd brand. I remember this as I quite liked their bikes back in the day and figure keeping some of the kit in-house allowed them to up-spec in other areas. For some reason I think they are French but could be way wrong

The revolt is a nice bike - there are a few threads on here for them if you have a mooch.

Always liked their Bmix, which was well ahead of its time as a jump/play "just mucking about" type bike.

Thanks for the replies.

Sunn made nice looking and good riding bikes. I had their titanium frame for a while, and it was a sweet ride. Pretty sure they were French, and therefore not that well known on these shores. I only ever saw one bike shop stocking them. Hard to put a value on it. Maybe £80 to £100 in current state and see if anyone bites.

Parting it out or cleaning it up etc probably would get more.

Agree on parting (sadly).

Perhaps start at £75 on ebay to suck in the parts vultures, and lots of keywords in the text (Retro, Race Face, Syncros etc). Easiest way to make some money back.

Mavic wheels look interesting, and the DX pedals are pretty good (if not seized/knackered)

Whats the headset? Looks "King-ish" but don't think it is.
