Wow - Thanks guys . You are all the best. Must have been the talk of the time with this Mav. Truley it is mint but it also sat for a few years outside down south on gravel and sort of scaled the underside. The pictures were from a year ago and we all know that Mavericks did not have the strongest of metals when produced which in turn led to their rusted bodies. But .....for all of us "We are here to save the day" YIPPEE!!I did have a chat with Craig awhile back before the purchase and he was super..Thanks to you Craig and by the way yes now I will join the club I posted a question on another post check it out and let me know what you think.
