I’d say that’s pretty reasonable. Looks like a fun bike!

Not bad at all imo. I’m sure the people of this sub could find some problem with it, but those are decent parts on there. Ask him if the shocks have been serviced.

Only thing i see is that you might need to get new springs for the fork and shock if you are less of a “big guy” than the seller.

Really good buy, just make sure its not stolen and repainted or whatever

I’d be a little cautious about an unbranded frame, but the rest of it looks like a good deal.

I personally wouldn’t buy a no name frame without doing a robust test ride on it. Not necessarily because I am worried about quality but because you have no idea what the ride characteristics are going to be.
Bikes are not bikes. All of my bikes ride noticably different. My Status 160 and my La Sal (170) looked pretty similar on paper, but they couldn’t be more different to ride.
A lot of design work goes into these bikes. Tiny tweaks to the geometry can have significant changes to the ride characteristics.
At the very least I would want to know what bike it is modeled after.

I would want some more information on the no name frame. They aren’t all created equal.
That being said, $850 isnt unreasonable for just those parts without the frame adding any value to the deal.

What type of riding to plan to do? This is an enduro set up (long, slack, mullet) optimized for bombing downhill and taking big hits. The trade off is it’s probably not going to be great for climbing and general cruising. If you are new and just looking to hit local trails you might be better served with a shorter travel trail bike.

The frame looks like older Specialized Stumpjumper.
Check the fork and the frame for any dents and cracks. Get info on when and if the fork and shock got serviced. 800 is the suspension alone. Used. so unless there is something seriously wrong with it, I would go for it.

The fork and shock are worth a good chunk of that price alone. If they have been well serviced, this could be a good jumping off point for a build on a different frame. Hard to know if the frame will hold up, but it does look the part. Give it a thorough inspection.

Yah good deal for that set

Is that really a Lyrik fork? The sticker is upside down. So, the seller applied a new red Lyrik sticker, or he stuck one on a no name brand fork. But the arch/bridge on the fork looks too rounded to be a Lyrik.
And what is a Box 2 drivetrain with 9 gears? I had to look it up, and it’s some lower-tier budget setup.
With a no name frame, I would avoid this for $850.

No name frame is really weird and suspicious, unbranded frames aren’t really a common thing. 2×9 is a really strange drivetrain for a Enduro bike with high end suspension.

I just get very strange vibes from this
