Hiya, just checking.. has anyone had a black orange 5 stolen? Theres one going on orange 5 for £450 which is an insane deal, but seems too good.. considering how much the frames go for! On the other hand.. if it's not stolen.. dibs.
Heres the link:

Forks must be worth that alone... £3200 one year ago and now he wants only £450. I suppose it could be genuine and he's missed a digit in the asking price.

This is only a wild guess. The ebay listing is legit and the the gumtree is some sort of scam where he takes a small deposit normally through paypal to hold the bike 'as lots of people are viewing it' I enquired once about a road bike in Dundee and he wanted 50 quid through paypal which he would return if I didn't want to buy it!

Yeah some kinda scam, as I was reading the add I thought he seems to know about the bike, crank length of 17mm is very specific then saw the eBay ad!
