So you need to look if there is anything that needs work or replacing. I think this has just been resprayed, now that is a good thing as long as it is not covering anything up that you can see. If it has just been rebuilt then it might need a once over after the first few rides.

On a + point, it is a Big Hit so getting replacement parts is going to be very very easy.

MAKE SURE THE SIZE IS RIGHT as you cant go back afterwards, DH bike feel smaller than trail bikes so like me you might end up feeling that the size was wrong if you get a large. But if you sit on it and it feel right and put a smile on your face then go for it. :thumbsup

Im sure he would take £700.00 if you waved the folding under his nose.
Personally id wait for one a bit closer to home and one with original paint, especially on the forks.
Look at a few before you buy. You have plenty of time.
- The secret to mountain biking is pretty simple. The slower you go the more likely it is you’ll crash.
- No one gets hurt in the air
- There is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing.

Pink Bike and Ebay are the best places by far. I will ask down the shop to keep an ear to the ground, I am assuming you will only want a S or M frame?
