What year is it? The older lefties can't be updated and the official channels won't touch stuff older than 2006.
If there's no problems with it though then they are reliable enough.
You'd need the hollowgram tandem axle - spendy
as a platform for xc racing the 26" stuff is at a disadvantage to the 29"er stuff - an alloy FSi might be a better bet long term.

So this has popped up for pretty cheap in my local area on the gumtree. What should I be wary of with the lefty/f800 frame? Plan would be to swap parts out to XTR/Hollowgram, and lightweight (aliexpress?) 26" wheels to make a ultralight XC rig...
