>>955866found a better pic (stalking the guys fb profile to see if he crashed it badly) from late 2013. I found the right components now, it's a little bit different - mostly SRAM X7, no X0 or X9, I think it's a GT Sanction 3.0 2010, probably sold in 2011 with the end of year deals, I've seen reviews ranging from enthusiastic to shittiest shit ever, the only point that worries me of the bike is the Suntour durolux fork which might be a heap of shit, but I should be able to source another used 26" fork quite easily on the long run.
Idk, if everything checks out, he's asking 500€ (not 400€ as I first though), should I pull the trigger on it for 400€ or should I save up in the 700-800 range? I'm not looking to do serious downhill so maybe a GT Force would be better for me, but those are harder to find used, at least around here.
