I agreed to buy this and went to collect it today.
I took it to Sigma Sport to get a BB fitted and they found that the metal BB cups in the shell - which should be bonded into the frame - were loose, and that the frame was basically shot.
I took the bike back again and got my money back- the seller genuinely seemed not to know much and said he was selling on behalf of his son. Definitely didn't seem dodgy. I explained the problem, and that someone would probably still want to buy it and take on the repair.
However, when I got home I saw it had been relisted with no information about the fucked BB shell.
Should I report it?
TL;DR: This frame is fucked and the seller knows it. He doesn't seem dodgy so wtf?
