    Hi, here we have Turner DHR 2006 Frame size large with 8.5" travel and extras. The frame is a 2006 and in perfect working order and only used 4 times abroad, because of the uplift and transport the rear of the frame has some damage in the form of scraches and sticker lift (See Pics) the front triangle painwork is in nearly new condition with no scrtaches, dents or cable rub, this reflects the work it has done. This frame is a Pro DH frame and is unbreakable and retails at £2000 plus, size of the frame is a large but check out www.turnerbikes.com. Like i said this bike is in perfect working order and you wont be dissapointed. I have pasted the technical spec below of the internet and the name speaks its self. I have taken as many pictures as i can. Comes with FSA Head Set, Raceface seat post and clamp. Please note the Head set is massive 1.5" but have been adapted to take a standard 1 1/8" steering tube. this is what he wrote!

    How did you pay? PayPAL? You could open a dispute for the goods not being as advertised. I've had to do this a couple of times but it was for stuff less than £50. Have you contacted the seller and told him you're not happy?

    Sounds like you got the frame for less than half price though, can the problems be fixed?

    Message him saying your not happy and that you'd only have bid x amount if he had described it correctly. If he has described it correctly (or very vaguely) then its your fault for not getting more pictures or asking questions.

    Tell him you either want x amount of money back, or you will send it back for a full refund.

    If he's got good 100% feedback he wont want a negative!
