Would you buy this bike ?

[url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/focus-blackforest-2-0-29er-mountain-bike-/111613259410?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19fcab2e92 ]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/focus-blackforest-2-0-29er-mountain-bike-/111613259410?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19fcab2e92[/url]

I don't know a lot about Focus bikes but this sort of fits my needs at the moment. However I have a gut feeling about the bike being a bit dodgy, too cheap/little info. I don't think the seller is a cyclist as based on his previous sales he seems to be a bit of a wheeler dealer type but as long as he has proof of ownership I guess it would be legit ?
😕 Maybe I'm being a bit paronoid about stolen goods having had a bike taken last week 👿
Any words of wisdom from the wise of STW ?
Thanks

Cheeky bump for the Friday night crowd, someone must have an opinion, this is STW after all 😉

Seems ok and Focus are a good German brand, Wiggle used to sell them but I think Wheelbase do now.

I'd go and see it before I brought it though, the lack of info and only a few pictures would make cautious. Looks like it's this [url= http://mountain-bikes.findthebest.com/l/5646/2014-Focus-Black-Forest-29R-2-0 ]one[/url] and not a bad spec for the money but I'd want to try it out first.

Thanks for that link, I reckon it may be a size too big for me but no harm in going to have a look.

At that price maybe worth getting the bike and stripping it down then getting a frame off the classifieds here.
