Regardless of the spec of the bike, I expect any experienced mountain biker would take one look at that pic and think it was total amateur/beginner's bike. Purely from the very low saddle height and extremely high angle stem. Why is your saddle so low if you're nearly 6ft and why is the stem so high?

Just because i've only just got this bike back from my brother, hes just 5ft 2 and thats how he had it set up,
Ive not fiddled with it since i got it,
Was thinking it should'nt hurt to ride it,
Im just off to change a few things,
Thanks for the comments,
Steve

Having the saddle too low could easily hurt - it's not good for your knees.
