The STS does have a bit of a reputation for cracking, if / when this does happen (especially if your are riding it like pics 4/5), you should get your money back by selling off the components, as it has a pretty good spec.
I want what you're smoking. Clapped out mostly LX parts with a smattering of STX, XT, and XTR and some beat down looking house brand parts/not great suspension parts when they were new are not going to fetch him much to be even worth shipping.
