Am I too suspicious?

He reckons it's a Carrera because " it had Carrera stickers on it before and it says so on the headset."

I've asked why it's got a Specialized 'S' clearly visible on the headtube and if you look closely it says Specialized on the downtube. Also why would you bother taking the stickers/transfers off?

No response yet.

I could understand if he was pretending his Carrera was really a Specialized but the other way round doesn't make sense.

looks like a bag of shite to me :shock:

The dropouts don't look to be from any recent spesh or carrera. Funny thing is, if it was a earlier spesh or carrera, they would have been both made in the same factory as each other ie Merida.

Ask him fro the frame number.

I find it a bit suspicious all his feedback is private...

The tubing reminds me of a decathlon rockrider... doesn't look like any spesh or carrera i've ever seen.

Looks like a pretty old frame, it's got canti boses on the rear triangle. Certainly doesn't look very specialised in appearence. looks like an old bike that someone has upgraded a lot over the years. Judging from the state of it I'd guess bearigs etc will be shot in hubs and BB.

probably an old carrera that hes stickered up as a Specialized, but removed stickers before the sale.

That's a Carrera
