Youngest lives in Bristol, (off) student & supermarket worker, he wants to get a full (decent) suspension bike for rides out in free time for exercise in the current situation, and beyond hopefully. Medium sized 17" or 18", 29er or 27.5". Budget £700 max. Anyone there know of anything good used for sale in that area? I tried to check the classifieds here but it doesn't seem to open lately. He's not found anything suitable there yet, just crap ones or dodgy mush rat boys trying to offload stuff. Something he can get to, to actually see/try. Following guidelines of course. Any leads appreciated. Cheers.

Have a look on facebook marketplace. You can specify the area. Just had a quick look, quite a few downhill bikes, a few nice enduro bikes. Plenty of frames/wheels/parts if he fancies a build project

My mates got a 2014 Process 111 in a Medium he's not using since he bought an E Bike got some decent kit on it and would be in budget for you. It's a 29er and he lives in Glastonbury, let me know if you want any more info.

I have an old Giant Trance frame if you wanted to build a bike. 26er but would only want a donation to charity.
