That's about a '97 model.

Although a great bike, it's still 6 years old. That model does have the MAX backbone frame which is definately a sweet bike.

Most other components look stock. The fork looks like a Manitou FS-Ti, I had one of those on my FSR. I had a '98 Model FSR Extreme. Same bike, but my frame was tubular pieces welded together as opposed to the monocoque like this one.

Definately a sweet bike, but remember the age. Is it local or eBay? Ask if there is any slop in the rear end. The rear linkages were bushings, not bearings like current models and they tended to wear out. I don't know if you can still get replacements from Specialized.

How much are they asking? I wouldn't pay more than $500 depending on parts, probably less if all stock.

It's a good bike, and if the rear isn't sloppy, I'd consider it as it's worthy of many upgrades.

Heck, if you decide not to buy it, let me know, I may as I love this frame!
