Im in the market for a relativly cheap bike at the moment, and i keep seeing quite a few of this model of bike for sale, can anyone give me any info on them? are they durable, i understand they will be quite heavy in comparison to modern bikes but are they very heavy? basicly any info/help would be awesome,

cheers

Jonno.

if it was between the gas gas or the beta techno of the same year which would you go for?

Gas Gas since I would think beta parts would be expensive, plus the fact that it'd be an older techno you're getting parts for...
