    Firstly it's not new - it's second hand.
    Secondly, I love this sort of sh1t:
    "With 130mm up front and 120mm rear travel it climbs and descends amazingly. I will be gutted to see this go, it was an inpulse buy and I have not even swung a leg over it"
    How the hell does he know if he's never ridden it?
    I don't do smileys.

  • My secret rule of eBay is if they can't distinguish between bought and brought in the description then I avoid... as well as the following crimes to the English language:

    forks - folks
    brakes - breaks
    and of course my biggest bugbear, your and you're.

    Yes, this might make me a pedantic grammar nazi, but it means I don't have to deal with large numbers of knuckle dragging morons who have more than likely lifted the bike from someone else's shed and are looking for a quick sale.

    or dyslexic millionaires or people who's brain goes faster than they can type.

    Seriously I wouldn't care if I thought the price and seller were legit.

    Similar sort of excuse for selling as the pikey who put my mates bike on gumtree after he stole it.

  • Like I say, it's just a personal thing about the spelling and grammar. The way I see it, if they've not taken the care and attention to write a proper ad the more likely they are to have not paid attention to a product whilst in their possession.

    Sure it might mean that I miss out on some bargains here and there, but I prefer to reward those that have taken their time to get things right.

    You can see it clearly has been ridden, the discs are bedded in and have pad all over them.
