What about a size medium Intense M3, mine been sat for over a year and needs to be sold....
Intense M3 frame 10" travel
888 forks
Race face diabolus cranks
rear 150mm bolt through 729 mavic rim on hadley hub
front 729 rim on hope II hub
various other shiz on it that was once worth a lot of money. flat bars, direct mount to forks, winter tyres already on, e-13 lite chain device, yeti lock on grips, hope 6 pot brakes, hope floating 200mm discs
Its been well used, some play in rear triangle  but would do for this winter and then bearings might need changing.
Its a big hitting beast!!! Shock is fox dhx 5 that was tf tuned serviced about 2 years ago, but not ridden it for 15 months

£700

While you are at it, let me know if you see any XS demos or similar. Preferably with air suspension.

I've still got my 20 year-old GT LTS... Admittedly it's not long-travel, or a downhiller, but if anyone fancies a vintage full-susser with Rock Show LT XC forks... get in touch.

I think it's still credited as the first consumer full-suspension system that actually worked as opposed to just bouncing around when you peddle.

I think my mate is going for this... http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1461243/

looks ok, maybe doing a swop

Seems a lot??

The bike must be pretty old and the rear shock is not the best. 66s are great unless 2008 model (where everything Marzocchi was shit) I would check!

Its set up a bit weird for a dh bike with a  front mech, it will cost a bit to fit a chain device and the head angle is fairly steep.

I wouldn't, there is bound to be better for £800.

Not worth £800.

The M3 above is a fair price. Be aware they need linkage love.

[fatboySlimfast]

Just had a look at what mines going for.......jeez
Price drop to £550

Really worth considering at that price.

Any bike not used  much for a year will need some love... Brakes bled, gears indexed.

Suspension will need a service at some point, my fav being Jtech ( cheap and good)

nice one, I let him know. think hes swopping it for a specialized fsr 29er that's 2 or 3 year old, that personally I think is a bag of shit, lx chainset and 4 inch rockshox on front, really weird ride, crap rims, I reckon his can only be worth 4/500.

... he's a big fella, 6 2or 3 and about 14st so unfortunately medium m3 is too small
