He hasn't replied to my faux serious questioning..
Couple of questions here.. Are the warranties for all the separate components transferable to the new owner? If I'm spending 2.5k on a bike, I'd like to know there's support behind it.
When was the frame purchased, at 699?
Reply...
all the parts are from our shop and have all the
original instructions etc and whilst a private
sale i stand personally behind the parts and happy
to help with any faulty warranty returns with any
of the suppliers , the frame was purchased when
the stock was all on back order and they where
charging and extra 100 for the painted bikes and i
only got a very small reduction for trade so i
guess given there current prices i paid a lot but
the whole package with the fox forks etc is still
a good buy if you go along with my whole spec , of
not well then go build your own dream bike
...happy bidding ..
Haha, I just got a reply...
Original Q:
Hi electrolisispain, can you tell me if this is suitable for racecore light, or is it more jeycore fusion? I'm really looking for something to max out the grrr factor of gnarly trail-centre xc rad-core without going full on bang bang whoop holler, if you know what I'm sayin dude. What's the story?
i have no idea what the hell you have just said
but i built this as a full on all mountain bike
with the intention of it taking on full sussers on
the knarly stuff although i am quite surprised by
how light and chuckable feeling it has turned out
, the talas forks are the key to great climbing
and super plush decending and the dropper seatpost
staes the intention of the bike being a full on
down rig when needed. happy bidding
How does he know how "chuckable" it is if he's never ridden it?
My response will be:
Dude, respect... Sounds dope. When you say "chuckable", do you mean full on huckable, or just kinda x-up tail-whippy table-top tricky chuckable?
Take it easy, yeah?
Oh my days.
new respect for shibby, i may or may not scrape off a tattoo in your honour.
And me I started off trying to be reasonable
Hi I am keen on this bike, although I'm a bit confused, is this a trade sale or a private sale? If it's private how are all the bits warrantied?
Thanks
this is a private sale and if any parts purchased by
me for the build should be defective i will sort it
out as a matter of profesional practice . good luck
bidding.
Hi thanks, whilst that is reassuring it isn't exactly an enforceable guarantee is it? Would you be prepared to put something in writing?
dont be stupid its a private sale on ebay if you
dont like what you see dont bid its simple no one
is forcing you , go buy the frmae and have a go
yourself its fun if not a little frustrating
building your own bikes the only bad bit is
letting them go and hoping they find an
appreciative owner.....
My last reply
Thanks your dismissive response has just reassured me that not bidding is the way forward.
What an arse! 😆

What the hell is Knarly stuff?!
Strange how he can give an impression on how it rides when it's never been ridden.
and the dropper seatpost
staes the intention of the bike being a full on
down rig when needed. happy bidding
WTF?!!
I'm still thinking of buying.
Especially if it can be a 'full on down rig when needed.'
I'm going to start spelling more words with a silent 'K'.
Knarly Kdudes...
He didn't seem to mind that I called him "Electrolisis Pain"
"Electrolisis Pain"
Very good.
Anybody want to buy my old white Inbred?
It's got exclusive wheels and you don't want it then tough, build one yourself. No one is forcing you.
£1900 no delivery, pick up only.
Gary, what size brake discs has it got? 😀
Is it grrrr bang bang whoop holler?
It hasn't got discs, it has v-brakes, you can't get discs on a bike for less than £2000. Super plush descending.
Fair enough - I take it, it comes with a vague warranty and that you are a professional bike spec'er.
Shibboleth - have no idea what the hell you just said. But yeah, it is fully grrrr bang bang whoop holler Cytech certified.
It's got exclusive wheels and you don't want it then tough, build one yourself.
I would but I find it somewhat frustrating albeit fun at the same time
I’m starting to feel a bit sorry for Eltobleronostain. He’s built himself a nice looking bike IMHO and he’s probably had to flog his Saxo and his Nintendo DS to pay for it.

It's finding good homes for my little babies that I find frustrating... 😥
100!
update: his reply to my last response
good ridance....
I think we should open a book on this and see if it ever sells.
Yey, another reply!!!
whatever dude do what the hell you like although i
suspect you want a freeride bike and this aint it...
Why are you behaving like hyperactive teenagers phoning up pizza delivery drivers for bogus addresses. So you don't like the guy's bike and you think he sounds like a knob? Just leave him to it, if someone wants his bike, they'll buy it, if they don't they won't, but why waste someone's time for no good reason than your own juvenile entertainment? It's just pathetic.
BadlyWiredDog - You aren't selling a carbon 456 on Ebay are you?

Whilst this is all true, I hold my hand up, I can't help wondering, why do you care? You are Electrolisis PAin? I claim my free on one frame thank you.
Edit Damn you GlitterG beat me too it
When one is as superior as the average singletrackworlder, it is his moral duty to mock those less fortunate.
As you were, gentlemen.

No, I don't know the guy, I just think it's utterly unfair wasting his time like that. And it reflects really poorly on the people involved. And that's it really. It's mildly ironic, don't you think, that you rip the piss out of a complete stranger on this thread and then ask why I care, as if I have to have some sort of personal involvement in the whole sorry affair. Why do you care? The world's full of people who are different from us or don't share our taste or whatever, what's the point in ripping them to bits in public? Like I said, it reflects pretty badly on those involved and the fact that it ran for three pages with only the mildest of rebukes, says it all about this sorry, car-loving, self-righteous excuse for a forum.
When one is as superior as the average singletrackworlder, it is his moral duty to mock those less fortunate.
Indeed moron baiting is my fave hobby.
Why do you care?
Because its fun.
I don't own a car nor love them. In fact, I can't even drive.
Don't you see, you're doing exactly the same thing as others are doing on here, except without the fun.
You are criticising people's attitudes on here, and we are criticising the Ebay sellers attitude on his advert.
Do you see? Do you see Mr EarnestTrackWorld member?
Do you see?
😉
"says it all about this sorry, car-loving, self-righteous excuse for a forum."
Ohh get her!
The seller is also trying to flog an overpriced, badly spec'ed bike to unsuspecting would-be mountain biker. He's abusing his quite obvious trade connections to pass something off as professionally built and supplied, yet exploit the tax advantages - not to say the complete lack of comeback - of selling it privately for what the full retail price inclusive of VAT would be.
I don't really thinks that's cricket.
Thanks to a bad foot I have not ridden my 456 Carbon build either. Mine is 23.9lbs, cost me £1,250 in (OK some 2nd hand) bits and has a unique coloured frame.....
Must be worth £3k of anyones money!
I have a marketing degree and still managed to build it fine without Cytek training, do I ask extra for managing that?!?
Anyone interested please mail me at -
no.effing.way.this.bike.is.going.to.sell.for.two.and.a.half.grand@yahoo.com
PS - happy to insult you in the mails if that is your thing too 😉
I don't have a problem with you taking the mick out his minging bike - yes, it is minging - I just think it's needlessly spiteful asking him pointless questions on eBay.
I agree with shibboleth - the seller is trying it on a bit with the build costs, price and the implication that there is some sort of warranty available.
In his defense all of the facts in the ad are easy to check and, even without the intervention of the stw massive, it's unlikely to sell for what he's asking.
The baiting is probably a bit OTT - people should just send questions saying what they really think about the sale.
If someone did buy it and liked how it looked they'd probably have a good bike to ride.
is spitefulness ever needed?needlessly spiteful
Go on, we were just having a laugh, and actually doing the guy a favour as he might just realise that posting with an eff off attitude and telling every seller to eff off isn't going to fulfil his fantasies. He should be thanking us. Quoting the erudite GG up there:
Do you see? Do you see Mr EarnestTrackWorld member?
Do you see?
It's his arrogance I find astounding, he's trying to sell something for two and a half grand an he's being an absolute moron.
Still, we might see the same bike relisted for about £750 quid in a few weeks.
😀 😆
Tend to agree with you ^^ there Shib. The guy is taking the piss and misrepresenting the actual cost of the items. Probably verging on fraudulent, especially as he plays on his being 'trade'.
Deserves all he gets IMO, the numptie!
This forum ain't what it used to be... People agreeing with me??? Whatever next. 🙁
😀
How about someone call up Leisure Lakes in Daventry to see of they want to sell it trade. I would be very suprised if he and the bike aren't based there.
I don't have a problem with you taking the mick out his minging bike - yes, it is minging - I just think it's needlessly spiteful asking him pointless questions on eBay.
He doesn't have to answer the questions. When I sold a rally car on eBay a few years ago I had idiots asking the mpg and if you could fit a baby seat in the back (it had no back seats and a roll cage!).
Gachet
Did you check Pistonheads to see if there was a thread like this?
GachetDid you check Pistonheads to see if there was a thread like this?
I didn't, but probably should have done. My listing was hopefully a bit better as I didn't bend the truth quite as much. I quite enjoyed sending a few sarcastic replies, but this guy seems too stupid to know when people are winding him up.
no with hindsight I agree now that sending silly questions is childish waste of everyones time and reflects badly on me
....so instead Ive reported the listing to ebay stating that it is misleading and against ebay selling policies due to falsly inflated advertising of RRP for the parts and I included a link to the frame for sale at On One website as evidence of this
we will see if it get removed
Iain1775- just aswell you are not buying the bike,you could save your money and buy a life.
Vindictive to a fault 😐
mikey3 - MemberIain1775- just aswell you are not buying the bike,you could save your money and buy a life.
Been said before, but
ooooooooh, get HER!!
So he built this bike
to understand the full custom ordering process within my business
An expensive lesson methinks; can't see anyone spending more than £1.5k on it really. Wonder what the most anyone has spent on building up an On-one? Good frames for the money I'm sure; seeing as the frame size is 20 inches he hasn't got much of a market.
Just p****d off he,s trying to get my bike pulled thats all 😉
to understand the full custom ordering process within my business
It's a hugely complex one that isn't it?
You have to decide what you want, find out who the manufacturer/distributor is, pick up the phone or go to the website, order it and ..................................................and...........and.....
........................................oh that's it ! 😕
Aren't the bankers bonuses due any time now, maybe it will sell...
I'm going to train to be a cycle mechanic, they can obviously afford to build a £4K bike that they've no intention of riding and then sell it a loss if someone hits the 'buy it now' button for less than £3K.
OR
Like I did last month-
Go to Rotherham, spend an hour being continuously left on my own whilst they rallied from one disaster to another, eventually spec up an 456 XT spec, £400 for the frame, £400 for the £800 Fulrcum wheels, £90 per end for the Elixir CR's 203mm and about another grand for forks and remaining finishing kit. £2K max for a similar spec bike. And then after three phone calls over the following three weeks NOT get an exact cost and eventually go off and buy something else.
Call me silly but I think the seller thinks we all have '****t" written on our foreheads...
Stuff like that never sells on ebay. You put up with dealing with anonymous people with no comeback if you think you can pick up their 12 month old £4k bike for £1200, but when you're paying new money for new stuff you go to a bike shop. Starting bid of £2.5k? Next!
Meh, it's ebay - some things that should sell don't, some things that shouldn't, do. Whatever passes the time, I guess... 🙂
My wife sold a used breast pump on eBay. I was truly astounded it went !
Legend he's grassed you nasty people all to ebay. 😆
p.p.s. ive nad sooo many inane questions and comments on this bike and some rather nasty persoanl ones too so i wont be answering any more messages unless they are very specific and relevant to the bike , this is not a forum its e-bay go back to your whinging on negative comments on whichever hole fo a forum you normally bother people on...;-)ppps ill be reporting those who have sent the abusive messages to ebay and let them deal with you pin heads...hahahaha
who's been sending him abusive messages? no need, bit of banter, but no need to get personal!
I don't think anyone has been abusive, he just has a reality problem.
Well I almost bought that bike! Went to click on the watch button and nearly clicked Buy it now, that would've been a huuuuuge mistake!
Was having a good laugh at the thread and it kind of took the edge off it with the people telling us off 😉
Poor guy has obviously thought he had a get rich quick scheme that's backfired. Guessing he's gambled a lot in this so kind of feel sorry for him, it's still a funny thread though!
whichever hole fo a forum you normally bother people on...
well, if he thought of putting "superbike carbon on-one 456 pro custom build 24lbs" into google he'd find out
My wife sold a used breast pump on eBay.
Is that to the same sort of buyer that's keen on non-new underwear?
I say start a bidding war and get the price to 5 figures must be worth it for a knarly custom spec down rig!!
