I have Paddy's old race bike, a 2008 Team Element and it was really well cared for (before I got it). So I'd say this bike is in good nick too.
The Team Element really nice Cross Country (XC) bike. It's super light weight and very fast to climb the hills. The Team Element is always a very well equiped full suspension bike and its their top of the range XC competition bike. No expense spared, great scandium frame, XTR throughout and relatively affordable secondhand. When new, in the UK for this bike costs £6685 according to a website I checked out.
I'd like to trade up to buy it but my next bike will be an enduro/All Mountain machine if/when I change.
here's what Rocky Mountain say about their bike and I have pasted in some detailed specs as well which I think are for the original 2010 bike. You need to check what spec this bike has to be sure though......
Element is one of the most popular and longest lasting cross country suspension platforms in mountain biking.
Technologies:
• Engineered Ride Quality: FORM™ tubing is a line of high-performance tubes designed to elevate the superior ride quality for which Rocky Mountain Bicycles are known. Innovative design: With 25 years of innovation, we continue to push the boundaries of bicycle design. FORM™ tubing is the exciting new frontier of our creativity.
• 3D Link: The idea behind the 3DLink™ suspension technology is simple: triangles. Triangles have the best strength to weight ratio of any geometric shape. The 3DLink™ suspension system is a triangular geometry ideally suited for aggressive cross-country racing. Since the 3DLink™ design does not rely on the shock as a structural member of the frame, it is incredibly stiff laterally, creating a bike that tracks straight, loses nothing to flex, and is as efficient as a hardtail on singletrack.
• The 3DLink™ rear suspension design, coupled with a custom-valved Fox shock results in a fully active suspension system, and an optimal XC suspension rate which directs all of the rider's energy into the drivetrain for unparalleled power transfer and acceleration. Optimized pedalling efficiency and no suspension “bob” result in more power and traction to the rear wheel.
• Exceptional cross-country geometry perfected over the past 10 years.
• 3DLink suspension creates lateral stiffness and maximizes shock performance.
• Rocky Mountain FORM™ custom shaped and butted tubing for race winning ride quality.
• New FORM carbon fiber seatstay improves the strength to weight ratio
• Single Pivot design assures a consistent ride quality throughout its range of travel in every gear
• 100mm Custom Valved Fox Float RP23 shock for maximum suspension performance
• Lightweight hollow section CS yoke for increased stiffness and more tire clearance
