dude. if it's just a stab (not primo) it HAS NOT got 9 inches of travel, it has 5.
I had one, snapped it without riding it very hard. Watch the area around the rear dropouts as the re-inforcement stops where the weld is......crack!
It is a nice bike and if the jnr T's are 2001 models they also kick ass (also 5" travel). After gettin mine serviced I have had nothing but compliments on how they feel, just onje little annoying thing is the lack of rebound adjustment but meh, they are still nice.
The cranks (if old raceface) are square taper and I still runthem on my new morphine with no problems.
Depending on how hard you ride you may want to keep an eye on the rims but there's no need to upgrade untill they die anyway.
here's my old stab after afew running upgrades:
You'll find that the travel is more than adequite for DH, good to DJ on and still able to pedal around on urban rides.
[plug] if for any reason your sale falls through my stab frame is going to be up for sale again soon as the warranty swingarm has FINALLY arrived. Looking at around 400 bucks with the highest offer so far around 375 (that's from about a month ago tho).[/plug]
