Parallax titled 'push bike' with no other details in the description. Only 1 seller review. Maybe someone is missing a bike or the seller is just too lazy to add any details.

If I buy disc brake pads from eBay, what's the likelihood that they're fake & going to kill me? Stuff like this is making me suspicious, two pairs for less than the cost of one set, but it is quite hard to ignore pricewise.

Gorilla brake pads are excellent, worth checking out, can call them up and they'll talk you through the range too

I know eBay listings often use stock photos rather than the actual stock for sale... But the pads themselves are brown rather mottled grey as they should be... Which I find odd.

Better than Shimano ones IMO

Good quality, legit brake pads are cheap enough that it seems a bit mad to buy potential fakes.

This seems a bit fishy to me plus half of everything they have ever listed is a bike or bike part in totally random style and size. Or is it a bike shop and someone should buy this tiny tourer?

Do you think this guy cut the frame apart to release the bike? How the hell do you snap a seat tube in the middle of the main triangle?? Bonkers

Cheap cheap

Kids bike seat?

The wild thing is there's already a badly welded extra section of support above it, then the toptube/seatube cluster is covered in awful welds too!

This looks moody. Anyone lost a Pre Cursa in London? https://www.facebook.com/share/1Hk2UXFXWs/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Anyone used this website before?

100% Scam site. Red flags everywhere you look. No pun intended

This seller has featured heavily in this thread

They sell canyon, a direct to customer brand.

Canyon is the obvious one but they're not a listed dealer for any of the brands the list and Look don't have any dealers in Indonesia at all. They're advertising every model for every brand many models aren't available at rrp certainly not heavily discounted. They're on scam adviser and have been flagged on loads of other bike forums.

Definitely worth £10k !!!

That bike has done an iron man, so definitely worth more than it was new by a factor of four.

My guess is it was meant to be listed at £995, but a zero was added by mistake and not noticed.

Even that is optimistic isn't it?

Wildly.
