Stig - I was reading Liondogs thread about the rear disc.  I thought id put the address for info into a thread that you can make sticky before that link dissapears. It's a good site to know for people buying a second hand bike.

Another way to check how many previous owners a bike has had, year of first registration etc is to start the process of selling it on e-bay.

Just enter the bike details, enter the reg, and then it'll come up with details :thumb_up

Yes!

The brakes need a good clean is the most likely explanation

ohok, bought it bout a month ago, brakes seem fine after nice new pads :) although think its due for a new chain or to take a link out, moved the wheel back a week ago to tighten the chain as it kept coming off but its loosened a bit again, mate said chain was probs at the end of its life
