Do these people not think nobody looks at feedback, once you have read this look at his feedback and see the last item he sold

    I can't see how it's dodgy, but I can't see the bike either because of the bubble wrap :wink:

    Not sure what you mean by his "feedback", he only has 1. Maybe he's selling his bikes to buy a motorbike :shock:

    I don't get what the problem is either. He sold one bike already and got positive feedback for it. Now he's selling a second bike and says he's saving for a motor bike.

    What's dodgy? :?
    More problems but still living....

    OK, just two bikes all wrapped up seemed odd, mods can delete this thread if they want

    Certainly seems dodgy to me how it's still wrapped up. Also why are the photos taken at night? Surely he could wait till it was light to take a proper photo. I like how he says "this is not a stolen bike". Sure, we'll take his word for it!

    And was also two sizes smaller. If it were me, I'd ask the seller where he originally purchased the bike from.

    He may simply be buying them to sell on at a profit quite legitimately, so he should be able to provide some form of proof of purchase/ warranty card perhaps?

    another fishy ebay post!

    you'd surely remove the bubble wrap and take better photos if you're selling a genuine bike!

    TO WHOEVER THE HIGHEST BIDDER IS, THIS BIKE MUST BE COLLECTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

    'before the police catch up with me'

    Seriosly who takes pics at night?

    Mate of mine (he is on here) just bought this

    so there seem to be lots of Specialized raod bikes covered in bubble-wrap at the moment.

    He has received the bike and it seems fine. Got some packaging from Evans with it, so maybe came from there originally. Should he be looking for something else to see if his is dodgy?

    A friend had his TT bike stolen on Sat night. Meanwhile I've been on Gumtree keeping a look out.

    Someone is selling a Trek Madone 5.9 for £400.

    It's advertised as being a complete aluminimum frame, and then on the next line goes on to say it's DCLV (yes "D"CLV) carbon; a Chris King Threadset, and Bontrager Rage X Lite. :roll:
