2007 Specialized Big Hit 1 FSR

Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to look at my advert. Up for my sale is my 2007 Specialized big hit 1 FSR. This bike is in good condition, for its age. I will be honest, this bike has been well used, im not going to lie by saying it's only seen dirt once because that is a lie. I have put a fair bit of money into this bike.

In early January i installed new front wheel bearings on it, regarding the front end i also put a new Maxxis Crossmark on it around Christmas time (2015). I would say the front now has about 50-60% of tread left, it is in good condition. Also at Christmas time 2015, i installed new front brake pads for the front and rear, and they are still in fair condition (60-75% used), but i do have a new set of pads ready to go for the front or back (whatever needs them first). I am planning on buying a new chain and hand grips. This bike does have some scratches and it's obvious it's been used a fair bit, but it is in nice condition for it's age. The back tire is a Vee-rubber downhill tire on it with 50-60% tread left.

I am not really wanting to sell it, but it's just getting too small for me. I am about 5" 7-9', so i am wanting a medium or large frame. I will be honest this bike is heavy at (18kg total) but is a beast of a bike, and is unbreakable. I am only a beginner so it hasn't been launched off of 30foot doubles or 3 meter drops or anything. I would really like it to go to a nice home. I will accept trades for a newer enduro bike (if it's a $1400ish bike i might be able to also put a 2002 Honda XR200r your way as well to make it fair) but i am negotiable on price. Would prefer local pickup, as i am not too sure as to how i'd ship it, but if you'd like this bike and are willing to pay for shipping i will ship it.

Here are the specs if your interested. https://www.specialized.com/au/en-au/bike-archive/2009/bighit/bighitfsri/22458

I know it may be expensive, but i've just based my price off of other big hit's i've seen, as big hits 2 years older than mine are around the $650 mark so i think $850 negotiable is a fair price.
