...i reckon was a scam, it was obviously too good to be true. the next day after i made that topic on here the bike was random ly taken off ebay, however i continued to email that bloke (read from the bottom up). the pictures of the 'bike' he attached were just of a random Nomad frame which had anodised a kinda specialised demo brown colour. lol the bloke deosn't know what he is talking about as every full build bike would blatantly come with a headset.

I am very sorry, I will ship the bike in original sealed box. The bike doesn't come with headset and pedals. The bike is complete without pedals.

i thought you were selling the whole bike? i would understand if the bike was in pieces (obviously a smaller package to send), but the headset cups arn't even in the the frame.

Hi Rob,
I have attached you some pics. The transaction will go trough eBay, it will be a safe transaction 100% insured. Also you will have 7 days to inspect the bike, and you can ask for a refund anytime within those 7 days.

my dad isn't really that confident about spending this much money over the internet, would it be possible for you to take some pictures of the bike box with the according bike in it and the warranty papers.

thanks, Rob

Hi again Rob,
I understand :) Yes I will let it go for œ800. I have small in stock. If you are able to buy you need to give me your name and shipping address so I can reserve you the bike and setup a transaction trough eBay.

Hi,
Please advise what size do you need, so I can check my stock. I am selling this brand new Santa Cruz Nomadin its original factory box ready to be assembled. The bike comes with 12 month full manufacturer's warranty for components and lifetime for the frame. I am located in London, UK.The buy it now price is 900GBP, including the shipping charges and insurance. I am liquidating the stock, so you must hurry if you want to catch such a bargain.
Best wishes, Peter

    Could be a good idea to blank out the other persons e-mail.

    Just ask if you can pick it up and be done with it. if he says yes a deal like that is worth going to pick it up. if he says no you know its a scam.
