    Did you have your frame serial number written down?

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/orange-five-m ... 1153087420

    Some parts swapped and it might not be but the SLX crank looks familiar
    Sorry already ended but you may be able to follow up....
  • That ebay post looks dodgy as hell. Firstly the components are very similar and the parts that he changed are the bits easy to do. And secondly his ebay profile is brand new which makes me think that it was set up just to sell the bike. Oh yeh and he is close the Bristol. Hmmm, dodgy.

    Well spotted SH3RB5


    He's listed his fox RP23 as Kashima (it's not) and also his cranks as Raceface when they're SLX.

    How many fives in that size/colour with Funn DH bars and a Gusset stem?

    Look at the sidewalls on the front tyre looks like the OPs front Nevegal and the white cable ties on downtube it's got to be more than coincidence!

    Edit: notice the sticker on the downtube below the shock!
  • Thanks guys the police are looking into this and a couple of other ads, keep an eye out for the bike if it turns up in a new ad. Thanks, Dan.
