With that swing arm I thought it was a prototype Orange Five?

At least the lawn looks healthy.
And the wall is in good condition.

What are you guys on about, its easy a £200+ bike. Its DH extreme to the max!!! 8) Especially with the mud guard or is that a water bottle. 😕

Found the same frame for sale too: http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1050239/

I feel a bit sorry for him. Lad at work bought a bike a bit like this as he "really wanted to get in DH racing" and its what all the pro's ride. Sometimes I don't know what to say to people!

A real kick in the teeth. At least the advert title is accurate of sorts, its not specialized, not kona, not giant not gt. No its not.

Poor chap. I love the fact that a DH bike has bar ends.

He seems innocent, I feel slightly sorry for him.

Neither her nor me knew anything about cycling and it turns out it was a downhill bike?

Ebay rockhopper (another one)

Yeah thats pretty good.

I admire this guys tenacity. He has been posting up the same 2nd hand Blur 4X for about a year and hasn't thought theat the reason its not selling maybe has something to do with the price!

That does read like a genuine clueless biker (in the nicest possible way). You get them all the time in shops asking questions like "why's this one £4000 when that one I saw in Halfords was £180?".

It's entirely possible that his wife bought it at some department store or off some unscrupulous type and he's basically been had. If it's true, I feel quite sorry for him.

This too, but expecting trading standards to do anything because he has paid over the odds (see Q & A in listing) is telling
