Hi,
I'm probably gonna buy a used Ironhorse 7 point 3 from 2005.
Has anybody got that bike or another Ironhorse and could tell me the pros & cons?

Please tell me your impressions.

I have both a Sunday and a 6 point modified with 7" suspension. I have also jumped on a 7 point briefly. They are all similar and solid performers. The 7 point is classic freeride, not particularly light by today's standard and could stand a little slacker head tube. However, it will climb acceptably and decend well. I find the wide rear axle to be nice and stiff. The DW link suspension is still pretty top notch. No complaints there. Bottom line: pull the trigger and ride it.

Do you know the size of 5th element rear shock for 7 point 3 by any chance?? Thanks

8.75 x 2.75

FWIW, I also have a 6point modified to a 7" bike, and my brother in law has a 7point, and we would both concur with what 'duppencf' said.
