Not sure wot ur on about but what I do know is that this particular breed of Nukeproof must be uber-rare so must be worth way more than the RRP. Might put in a bid for 4mill or so. is got hydrolic brakes for christs sake!!

No worries about short cables either to worry about, must be worth a few extra quid.

Was trying to work out what is on the rear chainstay? Bubble wrap or similar?

Can anyone see what brakes these colour coded beasts are? Are they Magura Louise?

Has he cloned on a Dalmatian skin chain stay protector on the wrong side? Badly!

I don't know about Dalmatian, but that bike's definitely a dog of some description.

Should be drive-side out, valves and logos not aligned, but on the plus side crank position is good [2/10]

Yet again I stand by my theory that any listing containing the words "here we have" in it should be automatically removed [s]or the seller made to drink bleach[/s].

The frame is a Claud Butler, I recognise it from my first mountain bike, a 2006 Cape Wrath, but the same frame was used for several models over several years.

Aye, that looks about right.

If it had an enormous chainstay protector on the wrong side and some nukeproof stickers it would be spot on!

I think the question should be who the hell has already bid £200 for it?

Incredible to think our education system turns out people with that sort of spelling ability. Incredible. (And not in a good way).
