Bought my first DH bike, 2016 Lapierre dh527. Just needed some TLC and some minor parts, only concern is finding replacement parts if something major breaks.

I had one of these as my first DH bike (was the 2017 Wc cup replica model), absolutely loved it. Rode park a fair amount on it, once or twice a month for a year. Went from being scared of 10-15ft gaps to crusing over 20-30ft stuff like I was riding down the street. As for needing parts, the only thing I needed was some shock bushings as the lower one developed a little play after 6months or so. But £20 sorted that out. The bike was 3 years old when I got it, so I wouldn't be too worried about breaking anything frame related. Mine was bombproof in the time I had it, cased my fair share of big jumps and some flat landings in there too.
