Missing a light blue 2008 pista?

i have posted in stolen bikes but just in case it gets missed and it belongs to someone.

i've found one with goldtech hubs and mirage brakes.

i want to buy it, but not if it's nicked.

pm me.

EDIT
that should be Condor Pista
(can't edit thread title)

It will have been nicked. Don't do it.

How would one know?

If it's a nice bike being sold for a lot less than what it's actually worth, it's stolen.
What make you have any doubts in the first place?

It's being sold for £250 which I reckon is going rate for that sort of thing.

Geezer hasn't got a receipt for it and wasn't knowledgeable about the components.

Main reason I've posted here (and in Stolen thread) is to alert anyone who might be missing this bike, or anyone that knows of anyone. If that's the case please PM me, I don't really want to put the seller's details up on here in case it's a genuine sale.

jar thats that condor pista on GUMTREE isnt it ,its bent as a 9 bob note mate SHEPERDS BUSH

I can't buy a stolen bike.

Who does it belong to?

is it that pista on gumtree

Sorry, i thought i was clear, yes it is.

Do you know anything about it?

^ You seemed pretty sure when I posed the same question??

I saw the ad on Thursday and phoned the guy. He rang me back this morning and I was supposed to meet him today, but couldn't reach him when I got to the Bush. I've spoken with him a few times today. I asked him which hubs the bike had and he had to take a look, which made me wonder, because if I had a Condor Pista I'd know exactly what hubs I was rocking. Having said that I don't know what hubs my Bianchi SL3 has without looking at them.

Anyway, my suspicion led me to phone Condor to see if they'd registered a stolen Pista in this year and colour, but they keep records by name, not by bike and so were not able to tell me either way.

I've been after a Condor Pista for a long time now, but I don't want to profit from somebody else's misery, hence the thread - to see if anyone's missing one. If it's stolen, I don't want it, but if it's legit, I do.

it's too cheap - something must be wrong...

£250 too cheap? Really? They're (only) £650 new.

Nicked!

a frame alone on ebay went for £400 recently... a

Really? A Pista frame?
Condor sell them brand new for that much (£400 or £450, I can't remember)

Yes, the Classico Pista is more expensive.
The Classico Pista frameset is £750 new and the Pista is £500 new (and last year's was offered to me at £400/450 as I said).

Also it seems as a seller you'll always get more bang for your buck if you split your bike up and sell it as bits, so £200 does not surprise me for a Pista frameset.

I love those bikes...

This went for £280: http://www.londonfgss.com/thread13225.html

I still think £250 is the right price for a used Pista.

jar if i didnt suspect that pista was stolen i would have bit his arm off,but i bet someone is missing that bike

That's why I've posted this, in a bid to reunite somebody who may be missing a Light Blue 2008 PIsta with their bike, if indeed it is stolen.

If I didn't give a shit about where my bikes come from / another person's pain I'd have just taken a sickie and bought it first thing Friday morning when the guy called me back. But I know you're not questioning my integrity here, seeing as you're well aware I've raised the issue not only here but also in the Stolen thread ;-)

im certainly not questioning your integrity, its solid mate.

Funny how one door closes and another opens...
My next door neighbour's just offered me his built-up Colnago for £270...
