That's quite a drop in price over a few months

Well, he claims race winning, so it should be relatively easy to check up on that part of the story.

By Neil, I presume he means Donoghue. Which might also be pretty easy to clarify.

Edit: could be lazy selling but the pics and description are c&p from Neil's original sale.

Maybe he'll be able to verify the seller?

A quick scan of the 2012 series results doesn't yield any category winners called Jordan, which one would expect from his username. Very odd claim if not true though, so easy to corroborate.

So has he copied and pasted Neil's advert after his badly written blurb? I'd avoid.

He's selling brand new Fox 40 dual crown forks for 450 quid, something over 600 quid less than retail. I smell something funny.

It may be genuine - he's told me where he works and said I can call him to verify

It's too small for me so if anyone wants details let me know.

I've emailed "the don" too to see if he sold it to him

Pinkbike is crazy, have you seen the tallboy and nomad frames, both 2013, that have just sold for under £500.

Emmm... Could we tell the don that the person he sold his bike to may have had it nicked? With a view to contacting them?

Where is the line in the crimestoppers sand?

Obviously. I am off today.

The don says it's not his and as far as he knows the bloke who he sold it to still has it

I'm surprised that people fall for it time after time though.
