i have 500€ around 440 pounds i think.

this guy is selling a big hit 1 with DHX4, head set FSA The Pig DH Pro, and rear hub Hope Pro II

hes asking for 450€ (381 pounds)

except for the bad paintwork (though the paint on the big hit comes off like paper in water) it looks fine

deal is pretty fair

just depends on how many bearings you may have to replace

and the adjuster on the fork though you can get cartridges as spares
