There seems to have been many topics in the last coupe of weeks, where sellers claim that their bike is something different to what it really is. Is this a growing trend, where people are trying to rip off unsuspecting buyers and add value by claiming their bikes are something better than they really are?
From the top of my head here are some of the specials, I can remember but I'm sure there will be many more!
The Yeti that's not a Yeti. http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/psa-bargain-yeti-on-ebay-just-listed
The Replica McLaren pit bike. http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/lewis-hamiltons-pit-mtb
The S-Works (Well it morphed into a S-Works once I put the stickers on that I don't remember buying). http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/bargains-on-ebay#post-4376050
So are there any others "Special, Limited and Rare [s]bikes[/s] BSO's out there?
