So I was looking for a good used full suspension bike and found this bike (Nakamura Summit) I can't find anything about the same model nor same frame. The seller says it's a fully custom build with aftermarket parts. It has a sram x4 derailleur and it's a 1x7 I think. The bike looks pretty descent but I can't find alot about the frame company. It has rockshox revelation u turn fork and a rockshox ario shock. Maxxis ardent tyres, a dropper post and shimano hydraulic disc brakes. Do you think I should get this bike for 600 euros?

    It's a cheap chinese bike sold in europe mostly in France. Tests I have read about them usually give them a score of 1 to 2 out of ten. As the saying goes you can't make a silk purse out of a pigs ear.
    Now where's that "Get Out of Crash Free Card"

    Im mostly concerned about the frame, the parts are pretty good. I just don't want it bending,breaking or flexing on me.
    Do you think it will be stiff enough? and should I continue with the purchase?

    The parts are mostly from 10 years ago, this bike has not been made for several years so the pictures don't ring true.
    Plus the frame is agricultural and probably rides like a pig, no slight on pigs intended.

    God no! Have a look on the pink bike classifieds, there will be dozens of higher spec, better riding bikes than that lump, for less/similar money
