Had one of these..... Out of the box it had STX-RC rear mech, v-brakes and cranks, no disc ready hubs, but was a cracking introduction to DH I tell you. Rear shock was Shockworks oil/coil with Rebound and Compression adjustments, no air!
Oh and they were notorious for cracking when ridden hard

if you ever spot anything up this end of the woods thats pick-up only then give me a shout
i went down the bings today for 20 mins and found out the rear shock is a little weak for my weight so i'll be buying a pump for the manitou slr one i had on it

Reminds me of my old one.
couple of things to note though. The frames are prone to cracking. Mine went round the headtube and also the swingarm.
Also, those shocks were rubbish. I went through a stage of blowing them. 4 in a year IIRC.
