Hi mate

Unless any parts are dameged it will all run pretty smooth looking most parts you can see in the pictures. The only two things i can't tell from the pictures are the crancks and rear shock.

Are the deemax's not in the photo? :confused:



The rims on it at the moment are Mavic 721's, I am pretty sure.

As far as the bike goes, I really like these bikes, I think they are great. I am not sure on what they retail at or when he bought it and what not, but I would say $4000 and see what the seller says. It looks a very nice bike and if you have the money buy it, I don't think you will dislike it.

Just had a good ride on a Demo7 the other day and found it very nice. You need to be quite aggressive with them, as they are slack. They do flat corners very very fast.

i went and had a good look at it and little ride around today imo i dont think its in good enough condition for the price and the forks were really stiff and had a lot of wear just above the seals for about the first 15cm.
but im not counting a demo out for ever thanks for everyones help
