eBay and Craigslist finds

people like this really get to me.. it really looks like its been crashed, look at the angles and the clearance.. but he'd rather dishonestly make a few extra quid then be honest and not put someone in danger etc..

^ where if the fail? I dont get it

Look at the downtube, where it joins the headtube - Bent from crash.

this is heavy! - I'd love a bike like that - wrong size tho.

I recon the BIN is good value.

As for the cunt selling the Olmo - he should be shot.

EDIT: Just had a look with the zoom function - you can see the warping where the top and down tube meet the head tube.

Should listings like this be reported?

i think contact him first and then if he doesnt alter the listing report him.

item was listed before but didnt reach reserve. I contacted him that time and he said no never been crashed.. I think a few people must have contacted him which is why he put the line on the new listing. tbh its farily likely that he didnt crash it, but bought it as is, he soesn't seem to know too much about bikes - its got an ultegra groupset with campg shifters

tommasini track frame, a few:

^^^^ Tries to sell since mid June. I think the offers are too low and he manually removes the bids. He should mention a minimum price.
I think it's not a bike rider, but someone who tries to make money via auctions. The Pog was sold by someone else earlier this year on the same auction site.

[SIZE=4]"Thia bike newer has exident or serious crash-is full working condition![/SIZE]"

I reckon the seller must have been as pissed when he wrote that as he was when he crashed that Olmo headlong into a wall!

I've contact the seller:

Me:
"Dear rediskra,
You say the bike hasn't been crashed.

Is this true or are you lying?"

rediskra/seller:
"This is old style frame and is look wired but bike is perfect geometry, keeps you tie on the turn and sticking great to road my uncle build this bike for me and gave me for a birthday last year he saying the bike is 100% ok he is engineer."

I told him the bike has been crashed and should alter description.

I've written to him as follows:

"This bike HAS been seriously crashed as is evident from the bent top tube and down tube and the almost upright forks. If you sell this to an unsuspecting buyer you will have mis-represented it as "Thia bike newer has exident or serious crash-is full working condition!" by which I believe you mean to say that "This bike has never had an accident or serious crash and is in full working condition", which is plainly incorrect. You could also be responsible for an accident, injury or even death. You should withdraw this listing as this bike frame is not safe to be ridden on. I expect this listing to be withdrawn by the end of today and I expect it not to reappear again."

Let's keep up the pressure.

Those Modolo brakes are really rare but a big mistake if you're going to ride them as the carbon construction had a habit of cracking and the levers were quite flexible too ..

I've written to him as follows:

"This bike HAS been seriously crashed as is evident from the bent top tube and down tube and the almost upright forks. If you sell this to an unsuspecting buyer you will have mis-represented it.......You should withdraw this listing as this bike frame is not safe to be ridden on. I expect this listing to be withdrawn by the end of today and I expect it not to reappear again."

+1 - I reminded him of his liability under SOGA too.

I also pointed out how he might feel if someone he knew had an accident as a result of a bust bike!
