24martin Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 saw this ad on ebay and thought it looked a bit dodgy! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/24-inch-trial-bike-barely-used-/181129407574?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item2a2c276c56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Lol @£1,800. Build a brand spanker for less than that. Seems dodgy for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew_coggan Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Yeah i saw it yesterday and thought that you can always tell because they no nothing about the spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Gething Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Also the fact that it has been recently painted suggests it could be stolen Going by the seller's rating of 85%, something isn't right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich J Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Also the fact that it has been recently painted suggests it could be stolen Going by the seller's rating of 85%, something isn't right. His selling feedback is all negative (only two sales). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsRob Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I think people point the stolen stick at ebay bikes far too often, forgetting that there genuinely stupid/lazy/unknowledgeable people out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 looks to me like he's had a go at taking the paint off the forks but realised it's too thick. DODGERS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andykezzy Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 defiantly seems dodgy to me, doesnt even say the make or model..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmertrials Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Was me who messaged him. I asked if he'd accept £1600 purely to see his response. His reply was £1500 cash. I'm convinced it's stolen. When I mentioned it, he threatened me with a lawyer. Yet couldn't give me a spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 He's now dropped the price to £1000, blatent scum. Is there any chance of reporting it to the rozzers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsRob Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Like I said about pointing the stolen stick, all the suspicion we have is worth nothing without proof, so until someone reports THIS bicycle as stolen there is nothing you can do.

dann2707 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Seems a bit harsh to say it's stolen but also pretty weird to not list a spec when you're asking for so much?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss-Higgy Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 "the bike was recently painted due to being bored with a plain black bike." Poss wrong but is it an inspired? And they don't come from factory in black, like him having the receipt suggests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williams Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Find it quite funny that he says that he has all the receipts of everything, but he can't give the spec out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I live in this town and I don't know of any riders that I can remember having a bike like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
