Descriptions are very vague, and he describes the brake levers as gear levers. No frame, just "bike parts".

I agree. Notice the mounting hardware on the shock. It would be useless unless you were mounting in the exact same frame...

It looks dodgy, but there certainly isn't any proof that it is.

OP: You've reported it to Gumtree that you suspect it violates their posting rules yes?

Those aliminium handlebars look a lot like carbon fibre ones to me. Dodgier than a dodgy thing.

I have done, no reply. The brakes have gone. Be worth saving that guys seller details i reckon, to check for stolen bits and report, not get stolen bits on the cheap.
