My boss has an old Patriot in his garage and he's looking to get rid, but he doesn't know how old it is. I'd guess at 2008ish but is there any easy way to tell? I'll try and get some photos to post up later.

I doubt it will alter the value.

Probably true, but it's always good to have as much info as possible when trying to sell things.

model name, shock mount, shock, graphics, gussets, tubing shape etc. are all dead giveaways 😉

Thanks goodgrief! Looks a lot like that. It's white with different decals, but with the same gusset on the top tube/seat tube interface, the same shock mounting hardware and the same swingarm design. Guess that's it then!

We're out in Canada and there's not many of them about. We had a quick look on Pinkbike and we think we'll stick it up for $1000 or so and see how it goes. Probably would be happy with $750 - $800 at the end of the day though, the frame is in decent nick but there's some fork damage.
