Pretty fundamental mistake in the description aroused my suspicion.

I don't think someone selling a dodgy bike would ask for cash on collection or offer it for viewing 😉

Seem to be asking a lot for 2007 comp, were only about £ 1400 new.

Doesn't really add up, does it?

The discs look too big to be standard (the rear one at least), it wouldn't have come with Bontrager bar/stem as standard and is SLX as old as 2007? Wikipedia reckons it was introduced in 2008. The brake hoses don't look a standard colour and I'd be surprised if that Stumpjumper was fitted with Recon's as standard....? I think it came with Fox Floats....

Seems like a lot of changes for something that has been only ridden a few times.....

I think someone selling a legit bike would at least be expected to know the name of it, considering it's even written on the top tube in one of the photos 😯

Moving it on for someone perhaps?

Speaking from personal experience, it has been known to happen.

is [i]exactly[/i] what a hooky seller will do, I assume you knew that hence the smiley? Hardly likely to use paypal, will want cash and will often arrange to meet somewhere public and untraceable.
