I don't know much about that frame. DB's website only goes back to 2008, and I don't see that line listed anywhere. So it's either older than 2 years or is part of DB's budget line found it box stores.
Another clue is the quick release holding the 'ToughShock' on. I've never heard of that brand and never seen a quick release holding a shock on a bike.
Not sure it's worth it.

ok, that was what i was thinking. Bikepedia showed a few DBs from around 2000 that look similar.

Looks like a POS. I'd let this bargain go, personally. That whole rear triangle set up looks craptacular. You should look for a used GT instead. :D

My first reaction is that is came from Wally-World, but it turns out it's just a dinosaur.

Yes, I'm with CRAIG2. Get a "vintage" GT i-drive (1999-2004), if you can find one that doesn't have cracked seat tube.

Okay, while you're at it, tell us what you think of this:

Old technology, but not too far off the pace for the mid-ninties.

Throw on some pegs, and take it off some sweet jumps. You could probably get like three feet of air. ;)
