I have finally found a moment to give this old fellow a bit of workshop time so its now back up for sale.
Its a Rotwild RFRO1 with marzocchi super T's. It has hope c2's with hope hubs running on D321's and D521's.
Its just had its main pivot bearing replaced as well as a new DU bush and new rear hub bearings. Ive replaced the rear brake hose to allow you to use a wider handlebar as the current one is a bit tall and narrow by modern standards. The chain and cassette are brand new and the grips and high roller tyres were replaced very recently and have done very few miles.
Its an old scruffy looking fellow and its paint looks like a flakey bag of shite, it has a nice matching set of down tube dents from triple clamp impacts but aside from the downsides it was a a very costly well engineered frame back in the day and scruffiness aside its super solid. For this price it should make somebody a very capable funbike. The frame has cable stops to fit a front mech if required and although i've not played about with it im told the travel is adjustable from 110mm to 140mm (I'm not 100% sure about this to be honest).
Its a large frame and would suit a rider around 6ft 2" ideally. Please let me know if you want any more photos or further info.

£239 NOW SOLD

Heres a couple of pictures. Ive been at the grindstone till late tonight so may have to "prettify" my description in the morning. Basically it was raced by a mega super uber veteran for years and has been sat in his shed gathering dust for the last couple of years. It has all the hallmarks of a raced bike including the usual triple clamp dints in the top of the down tube. It is exactly as I received it so needs a full teardown and fettle up. At very least it needs a new shifter and rear mech, a new du bush in the shock and it needs new hub bearings in the rear wheel. I can do the bearings and du for another £15 or so if it is of help, rather than spending ages fettling it and charge a whole lot more I figured it might be a nice fettling job for somebody to get their teeth into on the cheap. The tyres and grips are pretty much new by the way.
Its got to be a bargain for somebody at £200 but please bear in mind the bit of sprucing up it needs to make it shine again.
Thanks

Lovely, thanks for the pms. Although it looks pretty big, let me know the dimensions and I'll see if it'll work for me!
 
Forks are Jr T's and in teh last photo unless it's a bad photo the HT angle looks wrong suggesting you might want to look at a longer travel fork...

Was this one of Pagey's old bikes?
