    That's unfair, maybe they took their own photo when they nicked the bike out of your garden. :)

    By the way, mow your lawn you lazy scoundrel. :x

    I fort yours was carbon? Gimps, is this the bike the got nicked? Have they nicked your bike and then nicked your pic so they can sell it on? The cheek.

    Also cut your grass and you need to treat that fence :P

    A while back I spotted a bike that I was interested in on eBay. Pictures showed it parked up in the back garden of what was clearly a British garden and bungalow. That sounds fine until I start looking at their profile and spotted the claim that they live in China.

    Nothing worse than a lazy fraudster

    Just asked the seller a question about the pics :lol:
    Are the pics in the listing that of the bike?
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    The pix have changed! Different bike? Didn't look that closely at the original pic, but the stem at least looks different?

    That's shocking - I can't believe you replaced the grass with stones. Maybe your dog is digging it up in protest?

    Anyone with modest Photoshop skills could remove that leaving no trace in about five minutes. For the sake of your property I won't demonstrate ;)

    Anyone with basic Paint skills could do it in 3 seconds by chopping the bottom of the picture off :wink:
