The bug has bitten me considering old school bikes.

£100.
Worth it?

It's well worth £100 if you want it.
The rear mech, avid sds and fork take you way over that if you needed to recoup your cost.

But older full sus doesn't have many admirers... hence the price.

I have an S-Works FSR, basically the same bike as this. They are reasonably light and work fairly well, compared to other FS offerings of the period.

Cheers guys.
It’s getting delivered in about an hours time.

Never had a full suspension bike. Hoping it will be fun to ride.
I only ride locally down the lanes and occasional bit of gentle off-roading (I’m 57).

Surpasses all my expectations.
Set the gears and brakes, rides mint.

Been a good day

I bought some cheap cycling shorts from Aldi. Some shoes from Halfords and a top from Sports Direct.
Bought a high pressure pump and set the rear suspension.
All kitted out & raring to hit the canal paths.
Hope for good weather in the next two weeks.

Love this bike so much. Probably the best bike I’ve ever had. My fave was my old Cannondale cad 600.
But the headset fell apart after about 100,000 miles.
