Ha! No dozy fucker is gonna buy it at that price...

'I'm always being stopped by other riders'

Bollocks. your second-hand car salesman patter fools no-one.
I hate listings worded like this.

slack chain too

not so much internet, but I was in the Sports World shop (discounted sports good shop, mostly awful cheap stuff but sometimes a good branded bargain to be had) in High Holborn today, they have expanded their Muddy Fox (mountain bike manufacturer based in Essex apparently) range of stuff to include accessories. It might all be utter cheap shit, but I saw:

'track' pump for £9.99 (RRP £29.99)
lights kit for around the same price
Toolkit including allen key set with chainbreaker for about a tenner too.
Bells for £1.49

other miscellaneous crap too, can't remember specific details...

they have tonnes of of this Muddy Fox brand jackets, and Karrimor waterproof jackets and trousers in there too. Not very high end stuff I don't think, but not bad stuff for a low budget. And some of the lower spec Craghoppers stuff too. Men and women's. Often puts Blacks to shame.

maybe they're stopping him to let him know his chain's slack

Just sent the Mercian seller this..

"Hi there,

Really nice bike, but I have a couple of questions.

For the price would you sort out the chain tension? Also, you are selling it as a track bike so could you put some drop bars on? Oh and maybe a more period correct brake lever would be nice too.

Thanks in return."

Sending pricky emails to ebay sellers is a hobby of mine. :)

It's a scam, this was his response to my simple question of why so cheap:

"at the moment i'm in cardiff with my brother in search for a job as a driver and also a new job for my brother. i have the item here with me. i would like to close this transaction only through Moneybookers Escrow.This service will offer you Inspection period for buyer,safe payment and the delivery through Royal Mail Special Delivery. So if you agree with what i stated above and you have the funds, i am ready to explain to you all the details regarding the payment method - return period - shipping process and all about this deal."

For those who are very short or those who have a very short girlfriend they love a lot
