this bike looks dated?

You are right that the team seems quite obsolete. But that's to be expected in mountain biking and more. Industry has made tremendous progress in the mountain bike team in the last 10 years, so even a top model-10 years + would be walking today. (Note that the bike in question was not "top of the line" in the first sale.) If your goal is to do some serious mountain biking, I recommend you see a second hand bike from the lower end of the beach is a major manufacturer. Trek, Cannondale and Specialized are good brands. If, however, you're just looking for a bike for a cruise – no trails, so serious – and if the bike you see on Craigslist is in good condition there is nothing wrong with buying it. While you should be able to easily obtain spare parts for most all, the fork (Judy air) can be replaced if you get the spirit. A quick look at the catalog spare parts distributor http://www.sram.com/_media/techdocs/2010 20SPC_Rev 20RockShox%%% 20C% 20 (Rev% 20price 20List% 20C%). Pdf SRAM (which now owns the brand Rock Shox) not the list of spare parts for all types of fork Judy, any year.
