More of a grumble because I doubt I'll do anything about it, but I won this orange gringo:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Orange-Gringo-18-5-Classic-Steel-Mountain-Bike-Frame-Disc-And-V/254063534255?hash=item3b275de0af:g:h3MAAOSwbetb3vvS

Which very loudly declares that its a steel mountain bike in the auction title and info, but it is indeed an aluminium bike according to the sticker on the frame and a magnet.

Feel like a real bargain hunter would do something, but in the end if he says 'ok mate ship it back and i'll refund you the shipping fee' I wouldn't bother because it still seems like an OK price?

A quick DuckDuck gives you a full breakdown on what the Gringo is. A cheap aluminium thing. Seller should have done their homework. I guess you could have done yours too, but yeah the fault really is with the seller.

Ask him to send you £10 in compensation.

He's probably glad to be shot of it.

I did do a bit of googling and indeed couldn't find mention of a steel gringo, but figured that maybe there had been one and I just couldn't find it. Hard to know exactly what it is without info on model year etc.
