It looks old and convoluted. Some of the mtb geeks
will probably be able to tell you how the suspension
sucks compared to more modern bikes but I'm not
sure about this setup

Are they in good nick?

Depends how much it is. MTB's are relatively cheap these
days and you will often it better to buy a new one rather
than risk old parts. Having said all that.. it's a unique bike
and with a bit of work could be a damn funky ride! :-)
Okay I found it on ebay.. $1500 is more than _I_ would
pay but it's your money Ralph. The Magura hydro rim
brakes are cool but take some setting up and need special
pads. It has a single chainring and chainguide - not real
good if you want to power down in the big ring or climb in
granny gear. If you have $1500 to spend I'd buy a nice,
new hardtail.
