Saw this on marktplaats.nl and put in a bid of €125 becasuse I thought it was a 1998 Stumpjumper M2. I had to go to the south of the Netherlands for my work on thursday so I could pick it up if the seller accepted my offer. He did and I went to see it.
It turned out to be a 2000 M2 Pro with full XT and a XTR rear mech and a SID fork. Everything was working, but the frame had stickers all over it. I took it home for €125! It's my size!

Here are the first pics of it. Needs a good clean and some TLC!
