Saw this on fleabay and wondered if one had gone missing in Bristol.

Google's not turning up anything. To be honest I don't really see what's suss about that apart from the seller's zero rating, and the low start price, neither of which are evidence of theft.

From the description they seem to know what they are talking about, there are decent photos rather than the usual blurry cameraphone shot, and from this pic it seems like it might belong to a "more money than sense" type - the top of a desk isn't the obvious place to store your MTB:

Nah, I reckon that's legit, he seems to know a fair bit about it.

No way in hell is it 14lbs though...

I was only making sure, as Bristol seems to be the countries hotspot.
You never can tell, so just doing my bit in case somebody has had one stolen.

The rear suspension action was very innovate though, unlike a scalpel or something the trek would flex [i]around[/i] a rock, rather than move up through its virtually non existant travel ๐Ÿ˜‰
