A buddy of mine from work is selling this.

I don't have a picture here. I would have to take another one. Anyway here is a review of the bike. It retailed for $3,000 in 1998 or 1999. Can't remember
Gary Fisher ZO - Y Frame (large)
http://www.mtbr.com/reviews/Bike/product_18164.shtml (http://www.mtbr.com/reviews/Bike/product_18164.shtml)
It has:
Rear Deluxe Rock Shox with Remote Lock-out
Front Long Travel Rock Shox
XTR V-Brakes
XTR Front and Rear Derailers
White Industries Front and Rear Hubs
Syncro Seat Post
Chris King Headset
Due to the components, the bike is very light. Also, everything is in excellent condition.
I want $1,000 for it (I originally listed it for $1,500). If I can't get $1,000 I'm going to keep it for a spare.

don't buy a Y frame. The moment you stand up you lock out the suspension and half the time you are standing.....descending, technical obstacles etc....and when climbing on a Y, your leg length is allover the place.
For $800, you can get a lot of bikes. got test ride some at shops first to see what you like, and then begin lookign for a used one.
