Not 2012 (no tapered headtube)
Cheap ass suntour fork.
Looks suspiciously like an xt trekking chainset (48,36,26)

Indeed. Look like they would handle some abuse don't they. Standard issue on the 2012 model ahem!

I love this threads on weird/dubious/hilarious/criminal ebay sales, but I really want to know the story behind them.

This is another one. Is it nicked? Bought by owner, and then realised sold a monkey so try to sell on ebay?

We need the backstory!

I feel for the poor (misinformed) sod who could potentially buy it ...

But who in their right mind would spend £1800 on a bike and not know, have a clue what they are buying. Seller is an obvious chancer.
