Need a new rear shock.
Photos are dated 2007 and here's his blurb...
"In great condition and a great part, had many great hours riding on this shock, I am selling due to modifying my bike into a hardtail (with a few titanium rods and a little bit of careful welding) so therefore have no need for my rear shock.
FOR ANY RETURNS BUYER PAYS RETURN POSTAGE."
I'm inclined not to.

if it has sat for ages it might not even move and you cannot reall tell without a bike to compress

i would lean towards no as well

Never mind the shock - I'd be buying his modded bike - clearly an awesome idea - replacing a shock with some Ti rods and welding...the man is a genius and deserves his kit to be ridden...

I'm guessing the camera has just been reset and the date starts on 01/01/2007 - that's what my camera does.

I'd buy it, the sell it back to him at a huge mark up when he realises what an apocalyptic tool he's been by converting a fs to a ht...

I wouldn't buy anything of anyone who thinks its a good idea to replace a shock with Ti rods,

It might work but shows he's into bodging.
