So there I was on gumtree browsing for a bike for the girlfriend and this popped up. £1550 for Spesh sl3 with di2 and 50mm rovals, got to be £3500 worth surely???

So emailed and it's still available.

So then I googled and found more links with the same pic.

So the same bike is in Manchester, London and Indonesia? What we reckoning?

    Erm it's a scam.

    Not difficult to work out.

    If it's too good to be true, it normally is.

    It's a shame, the missus would have loved this as well.

    You can tell it's dodgy just from the ridiculous price. No need to go any further.

    I think it's worth a punt at that price.
