    It has got to be a joke.
    Please tell me that somebody has not really done this to a heckler.

    hes written a censored advert for it but apart from the fork, thats not a bad bike, if someone gets it for the lower price, he could get a proper fork (maybe a lyric?) and as long as they then get rid of the lizard skins boots and all of the censored mudguards itll be a decent bike for the money.

    (its not my bike either)
  • BlackSpurBlackSpur Posts: 4,228
    Just think - it's got some very good kit on it (albeit not appropriate) and obviously hasn't been abused like it was designed to be! It will go for a low price too, me thinks.

    Ideal really, it'll save the powdercoater a lot of work when the new owner inevitably gets it refinished.

    I don't think it will necessarily ny respraying - it might have come with the polished finish (like the old Zaskars).

    yep, but if they've got any sense they'll realise that it looks pretty tacky, kind of thing a chav would buy (or steal)

    If its not been anoidised (sp?) it will oxidise though- go all white and furry.

    It would need keyed to have a new finish applied too.


    Just shows money don't buy you style though! :lol:
