A few days ago I stumbled upon a local ad. It just said "Full suspension Mountainbike with top of the line components". Reasonable price. 280 Euro.
This is the pics from the ad.

Doesn't look too shabby. You can always use another set of racelines. That Marzocchi bomber Z2 - I've always wanted one of these. Is that a set of Smoke/Dart still on there? Whats with that ginormous chain ring, I wonder.
Didn't particularly think about the actual frame. No manufacurer decals. Just another akward early suspension thing. That shock would be knackered anyhow. Maybe another wall decoration.

So I texted the guy, drove over, took a closer look - every important part looked in very good nick. Haggled the price down to 180 and prepared myself mentally to face my wife's stare.

to be continued.

Looks like a fun project with some nice parts. Is the Bomber an early double disc mount one?
 
For 180 Euro that's an absolute steal for what is essentially DH royalty back in the day, stick a big ring on the triple and give it as much welly as you can.

Looks very tidy, though I'd imagine there's a fair bit more travel up front than behind.
