Nice, i think i've seen that JMC mini on the bay though.

The chrome frame in the middle of the frames on the wall looks like an MRD.

You can't tell without a size for the top tube. The pro is 1" longer than the expert, everything else is the same size.

Hi

You can tell the MRD model by the stamped in code, what's the full serial? That will give build number, and model.

Hope this helps.

The DP was for sale for ages upstairs amongst the MTBs, i think it was £25, then the owners had a look on Ebay... :shocked:
