I'm looking at buying the BH III advertised on Ebay tomorrow. He will accept cash offers
I'm going to look at it tomorrow about 12.30pm. Lee/ Nathan do you fancy coming to look at it with me in shirehampton?
I'm not sure what to look for really apart from scratches.

Justin, cant make tomorrow.

You need to make sure the main parts are sound. You can change any of the small parts as these are cheap. The frame needs to not be to hammerd, the wheels and shox's need to be in good condition as well as the rear shox.

Apart for that then you and I expect will want to change some of the other parts. Also on a bike like that most of the kit should be and I expect is more robust, so should with stand more hammering for longer.

Let us know who you get on.

Lee

I may be able to make it give me a call tomorrow around 12:00 and if I can meet you I will. I would go a long with what Lee has said in that the frame is the most critical part so you need to check this very closely in particular the pivot areas, then the front and rear shox's have they been serviced, when and were? how do they feel? then just a case of checking over the other bits like the wheels are they true.

Hope that helps

No it was just the cheapest way to 200mm of travel !

Anyone got any URL links to cheap Full Face helmets or body armour !

Does anyone have 661? do you reckon the XL will fit as it's all they have left? Not too big?

Justin I have one of the 661 body armour in XL so I can bring it in Sunday and you can try it on for size.

I have a large 661 full face helmet and medium body armour. I'll bring them at the weekend for you to try.

Cheers guys, I'll look forward to trying the Stormtrooper suit on !
