Obvious scam

Might be genuine but I wouldn't touch with the proverbial barge pole.

Just found another suspect, same bike / pics but just in a different order, 2 different sellers at 2 different prices

Thinking about this if everyone got on board could have a real laugh and just start asking a hundred really stupid questions like does it come with valve dust caps included at that price.

Have either of the dust caps ever been dropped OR have they been serviced.

Would he supply the bike with different coloured dust caps as the ones on there don't blend with the rest of the colour scheme :lol:

Seller's eBay rating and feedback says it all.

I just reported it as a probable fraudulent listing to eBay. The fact that the listing info states he accepts Paypal, whilst his description states bank transfer only, should be enough to convince them that he's trying to pull a fast one.

Maybe ask him for bank details..... then send him a follow up email saying his bank account has been robbed :lol:

Might put the wind up him (but probably wouldn't :oops:

)

Three lots of feedback - all negative.

It’s only carbon forks and metal frame, so not that special anyway. Surely £700 makes it expensive so certainly not too good to be true or have I missed something

I'm a trendy consumer. Just look at my wobbly bog brush using hovercraft full of eels

Think you might have ... this is the bike / spec / cost he's supposedly selling for £700.
