  • Ramon, I don't think that anyone is suggesting that all of Spain are crooks !! That is certainly not the case, but it does reek of a Gumtree scam. That is definitely not a Colnago and E240 for a Pinarello sounds just like the sort of thing that used to be rife on Gumtree, also a national site and it doesn't make all Brits crooks either. Scumbags everywhere mate !

    Steer well clear young 'un. And have a splendid day.

    In fact most of these scams appear to be from people who are not Spanish-speakers: for the listing of the components they use an internet translation utility and the results are quite amusing:

    Chris King headset, for example, appear translated in Spanish as "Headphones Jesus King"

    There are threads in some spanish forums with the most hilarious examples of the listings of these scam ads
