Isn't that a pure downhill bike (i.e. too heavy to pedal uphill??)
Will it be THAT heavy it will be no good on trails? Have edited original post to reflect my needs.
orange five
I've got an MC40 too and have had it for 8 years or so. Great all round bike for all round biking.
forget ebay, it's full of shite or nicked bikes.
go for SDH forums...

Great all round bike for all round biking.Have you made any changes to yours over the years Ben, (christ I sound geeky. If the cap fits I guess.....)? I've put a longer fork on mine, chunkier wheels and reduced to two chainrings/bashguard combo. Kind of DH lite now I guess........
seen this late.. sorry.right.. that's no way gonna go uphill.what do you mean by DH??seems to me you want a AM / Fr machine.. just like buying a car... wait.. something will come up.forget ebay, it's full of shite or nicked bikes.go for SDH forums.. it's a DH site.. so the AM bikes go for less there.. a good safe place - I have bought and sold off there for years..SET yr budget 1st.find a bike.. express interest and then start a new thread on here for advice.. 10 or more of us will assist.
Good bikes xc/trail bikes, especially for the money.
BTW, if you jump on it it wil break... if it's riding with a little gnar gnar you are still after ( just read the thread again..) you'll be looking at an enduro from spesh... not a stumpy.
Nice I quite like the tyres

Michelin Mountain Xtrem 2.5?
the tyres look like lego. a strong look.
Not after you've learnt that cycle computers last about five minutes before they fall off your mountain bike
Plus on that bike you should hopefully spend a lot of time with wheels off the ground, thus rendering any measurement pointless.Oh, and very nice bike. Good work.
Nice. Won't be able to get there at short notice, but give us a shout if you are up again. I'm in Dumfries area 12-19 Jun, be up for some more 7 Stanes action,. plus hitting up Thirlstane.
