buy it!
the specialized enduro is a cracking bike, i can assume the 04 lead the way but obviously without the aid of google I'd have not been able to tell you that this owner has spec'd up a few items and that bike is very much worth £400.

No hesitation from me, buy it!

Then get on ebay and as badger says do your self a favour and buy a set of all bearings for it, when it arrives take a look and see what condition the ones on it are in. If you find one looking manky assume the rest are just as old an strip the whole thing. YOu'll get a few years out of it before needing to do it again especially if we only do dalby once next year too lol.

My advice is always this , drop the seat to give you a bit of clearance , get yer bum over the back , keep off the damn brakes if you can , more rear brake if you have to , you roll too slowly you come to a dead stop and fall off , keep it rolling at a nice speed and you will blatter over and through most gnarly techy stuff .

You have what is known as a pierced seat tube on the Enduro`s , so if your seatpost appears below the frame it is excess post and can be sawn off , From what I remember they supplied Thomson Seatposts which are really nice , I run a layback version on my bike , not sure I would want to saw that though
