Suspicious Ebay / Gumtree Sales

@brangatang Cant see anywhere is actually states that its a Supercorsa. They've just tagged the brands which have components on the bike. Cinelli bars and stem etc.

Anyone lost a 'probably 70's Vintage' Planet X Kaffenback?

Clearly Planet X further ahead of the game than I gave them credit for with the disc brakes and stuff.

Haha have you seen the seller's other items? A bit off a telly, some smartphone and a massive bit of IT/office hardware, seller obvs has no idea what it is.

He doesn't even know his left from his right, I give him some credit for knowing what a bike is.

Really interesting... damaged selector ?

sram red selector no less

Newton Heath is like a BSI Kitemark Standard for Theft.

Bike with petrol driven assist. Seems legit.

That's amazing, them off brand china brakes are well known for delivering good stopping power at 50mph+ too.

@clockwise I'd go for the NOS and turbo version I'm so confident in its stopping power. I think the positioning of the exhaust and 999 with Michael Buerk chain tensioner completes this fine machine. Up there with the bloke that fell in the chippy fryer...

Hah yeah wtf ‘NOS and turbo available’ ... nutty

Holy shit

It’s easy to stop, you can push a button.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123040754800 Suspicious or just bargain ?

Sooo bought a CAAD9 frameset with a 105 5600 groupset advertised as having a bent chainring. Picked it up last night and the crankset spider is bent as both chainrings are skewy in the same place... Paid 130... Return..?

You can pick up a chainset cheap on here if you ask in the wanted bit, in fact any of the other bits too, mention a budget. £130 is good for a CAAD9. I'd soldier on.

Cheers. Picked up another bike so will resell.

Saw this bizarre Cannondale beater for £80. Pretty horrible! Please tell me he hasn't drilled the dropouts... Gumtree

Think this thread is about bikes with dodgy provenance, not dodgy-looking bikes.

So-
Here's some greedy fucker relisting, without mentioning the cracked seat tube, a frameset I know and have knowledge of. I sold it , and took it as a return about 2 years ago on this site.
He's listed the thomson seat post that went with it.
has he got anything to say?explain? clown.

Much headset bearing. Most trust.
