How Much Would You Pay For This Road Bike?

Recommended Posts

30-45 business days is 6-9 weeks and that's how long this kind of shipping takes although I would have thought it'd be much more expensive than 40 pounds.

I'd never buy anything from China, there are way too many crooks there. This bike's worth about 4-5 grand and you got it for 80 pounds. Ok fair enough, production costs are very low but for christ sake, this is carbon fibre, 1 square metre 3mm thick costs about 300 pounds and that's just the material!!

Ask him to take a picture of a piece of paper with your user name written down, and with the bike in the background. That will at least give you some idea about whether he's actually got what he's selling.

edit: oh and if it arrives, be prepared to pay tax for it... and for the love of god get some good evidence that you bought it for 80 quid!! I

edit2: haha i actually asked him to send me a pic with my user name on it, this is what i got in reply (in a matter of 2 minutes from when i sent my email). For anyone who has ever dealt with the Chinese, the response time will already be suspicious! Shops take days, sometimes weeks to reply...

Is it f**k. That description OBVIOUSLY comes from someone that knows f**k all about the bike. He probably got that small amount of information from a shop spec on a website.

Cheers, Rorz!

just because he doesn't no much about it does'nt mean he could'nt have knocked it off and is selling the dirt cheap quickly

So? If its knocked of thats just as bad as not having it in the 1st place since it would be illegal.

balls it's not my problem i never stole the bike judging by the amount of bikes he's got he didn't steel them off people but off companies which can afford it

Well, the one that I won is Item Number 250089551308. The title states it is a 928 Carbon Road Bike.

Eitherway, it looks like I'm going to recive some sort of bike.

On the basis that me and a friend both bought one, and we have both paid, if we don't get what we thought.. It's skull crushing time.

I'll keep you posted.

erm, cant say youll recieve a bike at all, im willing to bet you £10 you wont get a bike off this man

did you get his IP ? (Or what ever it is)

you can trace to the exact place he lives, and smack him up, steal his car, and rape his dog etc etc

would be a good idea, but the bloke is based in china, therefore he knows he safe from dog rapin 17 year olds.

I read that and saw the 'Blacklisted Trader' status you worked so hard for...Made me laugh anyway.

lol, he didnt have to work hard, he just forgot to send out my parts in 2003, along with several other peoples.

as for the bikes its a scam they dont exist, the whole 30-45 days shipping time, is hes going to have to be assumed innocent an genuine till he does something wrong, by which time its 7 weeks down the line, the blokes withrawn the money from the account, closed it, an buggered off, making a couple of grand in the process. its pretty much as tomm says if hes never had any experience in selling this stuff before,an is suddenly sellin 112 bikes on ebay, it arrouses suspicion to me. the people that have left feedbacks on bike stuff, havent even recieved there items yet.

What a pile of balls. That's so obviosly fake.

and 17.5kg?! where the hell did he get that from! thats like DH rig weights! my mongoose 6" travel freeride bikes 16kg, and thats basicaly a short travel DH build! And my T45 steel Iolo is 11.8kg, also with a heafty build!

Seriously, I can guarente you wont get anything, or if you do it'll be something utterly shite.

i'd still cry if the bikes actually came through. though it does look unlikely.

i'm hangin on for someone to send me some stuff. got 2 filthy ard guards, brand new and packaged, for £1.99 each. seems a little daft price, but i got an address and everything for the shop selling them, and they have good feedback. will be my second bargain of the year (first was a raceface turbine chainset with bb and v12s for £35 posted, last year was my revell 450r frame for £80)

you can get some super cheap stuff, but make sure you get some good contact details if they have low feedback. and i only deal with uk sellers

Uses 4 AAA batteries.

Iam soo getting one of them to re-sell if it comes through to you....But I think we will all buy one if it comes to you. (Y)
