That might be the original listing on the 808van. It’s way different (and VERY impressive) after the “remodel.”

In Orange County there is O’Neill Regional Park. It’s smack in the middle of tons of mountain biking. For a good sense of the trails look up the Ride for Rwanda. It goes right through the park....

Looks in great shape. Not sure which shop "recently" made the conversion in SoCal (beach/license plate), but I would assume with a coil-over front end that it was Agile Offroad? If you're serious...

It’s heavy, but otherwise it’s really easy. The seats just pop out their bases. The bases are more difficult, but still, it’s only 4 bolts per base, so that’s not really tough either.
