Thats a pretty good description for something that you think is nicked, beats the trend in regards to the more obvious stolen bikes if thats the case!

Does seem cheap but perhaps they've something to do with Psyclewerx (who sell Nicolai).

18 gears - that'll be the double n' bash and 9 speed cassette it's running.

Looks like a geniune add to me, nice description, nice photo.

Cheap yeah, but a buy it now of £1750 and he needs a house deposite so not that bad really

Double with bashguard so 18 is right.

It's a good description by someone who seems to know about bikes, and the BIN is about 50% of the new price, which is the rule of thumb a lot of people for selling second-hand bike stuff. That's a seriously nice bike, and I'd probably be asking for more if it was mine, but there's nothing obviously suspicious about it.

That is a very nice bike, but with no age given for frame I'd assume it's about three years old (from the fork).

So it's not that cheap really.

Fair enough,
Seemed cheap for a nicolai that was all.
Good luck to the bloke if legit, consider it free advertising then

Five year warranty on all Nicolais and, they are transferable to from one owner to the next.

This one is an 06-07 model so the warranty will be almost up. I imagine that within 12 months or so of the model year, Karl Nicolai would sort you out in some way.
