What a thoroughly curious advert and bike!
Dual crown Blutos? Are they Boxxers underneath?
Tiny discs, dirt jump tyres? It's like a scene bike!

The price is obviously people taking the pee.

Frame is stuffed full of heroin, and this way they can sell it and transport it without raising suspicion?

Or

Seller has previously annoyed someone who has now up bid this so he doesn't get a sale?

Flip me, that's GORGEOUS!

It's probably some mates bidding, wouldn't you think?

I reckon the only thing RS about those forks are the stickers, they're too fat to be boxxers and of course they're gold-ish. I'd say fake / lookalike 40s.

Everything on it looks completely new, it can't be collection of stolen bike parts surely?

I was thinking the same about the forks. I can't see any features that look like anything i know.

I was also thinking along the 'ultimate robbed bike best of compilation vol 1' lines, but the seller seems to know too much about it for that. I think it's a bike where the owner has legitimately but disproportionately upgraded bits on a very cheap bike.

If only it had an 11 mile range and not just a 10 mile one. Think I'll pass.

Every time I see something like this I always wonder if thee's some frantic panicking by the seller in case ebay tries to collect the sellers fees after the auction... 😆
