    The first line of that thread reads:
    Before we start....yes I know....before anyone points out the obvious. The forks are round the wrong way

    :P

    The forks look fine to me, but the frame is on backwards.

    Still, it begs the question "Why!?" How do you put them on backwards by mistake?
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    Or why you don't sort it out before trying to sell it.

    Another use for duct tape though - covering the badge.

    At least Audi's work ok off road. Merc's just don't work at all most of the time.
    The post says it was won in a golf match. While I understand that most golfists do think Merc's are the greatest thing in the world I can't imaging that many would be interested in mountain biking. Their is a golf club down at the end of my road, most of their members appear to be retired and fat. A good amount of them can't eve be bothered to walk around the course or push their golf bat trolleys.
