the price is not bad, but you have to take into account the lack of replacement parts from mountain cycle nowadays. Still unsure what is going on over there.

That's a pretty good deal- most new thinner sectioned frames you see second hand will have dents in this area, try and look at it in detail before you hand the cash but if it's not a hole or hasn't influenced other close areas (look for creases / etc) then do it and buy a cover for that area of the frame

But where can I buy a cover for BB.

Owner of this bike tells me that he was been on x-ray scan of the BB to see if there are some cracks caused by this dent.
And the result is OK, no cracks or holes.

Job done then, as for the cover I think eBay may have something or make your own as a lot of people do from plastic etc

What makes the 2011 88 so special compared to the 8 is the custom tuned rc4. That van RC will make It ride just like the session 8 ( which is still pretty damn nice, I have one Wink .
