no i bought it of a friend but i'm thinking of selling it its not my type of bike ha ha impulse buy all it needs is new pads front and rear and a new rear rotor then its all good to go it rides a1 tbf all gears work no knocks or cracks or clunks was thinking about turning into a jump/ free ride beast but its a shame to destroy it :roll:

That would never be a jump/freeride bike owing to the lack of suitable travel for that. You would ideally be looking for a bike with about 5 inches of rear travel, a coilover shock and 120mm forks (my opinion, but I dare say I am far off the mark). This, nice as it its, is defninitley a x-country bike.

Keep it, get out on the trails with a sandwich and some cake and enjoy it. Who knows, you might really grow to enjoy getting out there and having a great day out. if not, you should easily get your money back for it on ebay.

Thats my opinion, anyway

ah right ace cool thanks for the advice i curently ride a identiti 666x pro which is a flat out dirt jump bike and weighs as much as a tank lol but it takes abuse all day and is reliable with it

bargain .... I've been know to pay more for just a pair of wheels!! :?

I had one one these exactly the same except it was a blue main triangle (mine was a "comp" badged frame).

Mine was a 1999 frame, but think they used the same frame 1999-2000.

Look out for cracks in the chainstays around the "pipe" joining them together ahead of the wheel, mine cracked there and specialized replaced under warranty with a beefed up version.

I also had the same disc mount (AFAIK the disc mount only come on "enduro models of the same era, but could be bought separately direct) and an BETD travel upgrade link.

Decent bike for £200, definately not up to jump / freeride but a great XC bike - would be better with a modern pro pedal shock.
