    I'd say that is the best of the 3 he's selling!

    Anyone buying 1 of those is clearly as mental as the seller

  • The Patriot has a teeny little disc up front.. and the Stab has no brake up front.
    Also, the Stab has an NGK sparkplug sticker.. WTF?

    The patriot also appears to be a ferrari and have brembo brakes, are they actually bike frames or are they made of papier mache?

    Excuse my ignorance.... but whats the the thing on the patriot top tube? Is that nitrous or something? Maybe he's a part time power ranger...

    On the Orange facebook page, people are touting it about as if it's the reservoir bottle for a set of Airline shifters, but it has a normal XT mech.

    Has anyone noticed the third crown on the forks?
  • Has anyone noticed the third crown on the forks?

    Presumably it was removed from this one, which only has one crown

    My spidey sense tells me the owner might not do that much competitive downhill racing.

    It's the shonky cheap lowers with Vbrake posts that get me! I think he's just extended the uppers on some Suntour XCM's!

    I guess if you look upon it as a salvageable frame with some bits you won't go far wrong, as all his bikes seem to have brake problems he clearly isn't good with brakes!

    "Brakes are not working I think they need a oil "

    Or the fact that there are no rotors on the bike!

    That's a frankenbike made of stolen parts if ever I saw one. Especially being based in Portsmouth.

    Although I'd suggest his skill set lies with other people's locks, especially as if people tried to identify their bike they couldn't add it had been stickered like a horny teenagers homework diary

    i've come to the conclusion that they must be womens bikes, my theory is that you know "those Girls" that go out and you think, WTF are they wearing? they cant have any friends to tell them they look stupid.
    Same principles apply?
