1998 Seven Sola with a Rock Shox Bomber fork, WTB Grease Guard Hubs and mostly XTR components except for the XT Hubs. There's one up on Craigslist right now, and I'm not sure how much a 10 year old, $5000, titanium bike would be worth after 10 years -- especially when factoring newish parts.

Here's the listing: https://eugene.craigslist.org/bik/811531801.html
Ten year old used parts? The Marzocchi fork is newer since it has an integrated arch/lowers. In fact the fork is a '04 as I see on the pics. Probably a mix of parts is my guess. From the pics I'm gonna guess this bike and especially the components are well used.
What to pay depends a lot on what you plan to do with this bike (looks set up as a cross bike) and the actual condition of the parts. Frankly, if it were me, I could see it mostly for the value of the frame itself, not much for the components.
My opinion of value: $500-$600 tops.
Edit: Looking at the pics again.......man, that pup looks beat. Maybe even less.

Yeah, they don't make the Rock Shox Bomber anymore.....wait, there's no such thing as a Rock Shox Bomber.
All in fun, the moniker was the OP's, not the CL listing.

It's funny what people think things were worth new back in the day. Nobody with half a brain would pay MSRP for anything.
