Cervelo S2 on gumtree looks fishy to me.

Was looking for a kids bike for my daughter, saw this listed under bikes in glasgow, seems to me to either be stolen or belonging to some with english as a foreign language. Either way have a look and see what you think.

False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness.

    Can't look at that while I'm at work unfortunately, Wonder if its someone trying to pass off one of the cheap chinese bikes as genuine.

    Thats two different bikes.

    Bars, wheels, chainset and hoods are different.

    A lot of effort for a scam, perhaps a freaky coincidence.

    see same environment. so obvious that there would not be two rooms just the same in two different countries. I did not bother with the finished sales. Which is where a lot of these type of scams come from.
