If you know better than I do some parts, feel free to educate me, I'll edit the listing.

From what I have researched also is that the 828 is pretty rare, too. IIRC the only suspension model they managed to produce.

If you find that you come to split the bike I would be interested in the seat and wheels. That fork would sell pretty easily too because they only pop up for sale on ebay and such once every few years or so. GLWTS.

[SBIKE 503]

I deeply wanted that bike back in the day -- bought a 503 instead, (mostly as the 828 was eye-wateringly expensive for the time) which has just found a new home. Hope you find a good home for your 828.

So @tskubi

Do you have any more pictures of that catalogue(?) that you include in the photos of the bike. And do you have a scanner as there is no record of an sbike catalogue in the RB archives. And I would like to see if there is more info about different sbike models more specifically the 909 dh bike.

Thanks

Yes, but nothing on a 909. There is a thread on someone who has one but he hasn’t been seen for a long time

There are a couple who have owned the bikes on here, just need to spend a bit of time with the search function.

Same here for me
I got some offers for the fork and frame, unfortunately too low for me to consider.
There is no rush I have room and can keep it, it is fantastic to look at in my basement ^^

It is, on top of that you mostly see pictures of FS SBikes from the side, it is a completely different animal once you wee it from the top/another angle.
