Found this online (its also on CraigsList London), shame we live in such suspicious times but seems like a bargain to me

This is a 2012 Santa Cruz Highball carbon in the XL size. This bike is set up quite nicely; full 2012 Shimano XTR with the 2012 Fox F120 RLC fork (with kashima coating) and an Easton cockpit. It's been used, but not very much, as evident by this bike's condition. I'd bet it's been ridden no more than 5 times. Kit is as follows:
REAR DER: Shimano M985 SGS (XTR) 10spd
FRONT DER: Shimano M981 (XTR) 10spd
SHIFTERS: Shimano M980 (XTR) 10spd
CRANKSET: Shimano M980 24/32/42 (XTR) 10spd
BOTTOM BRACKET: Included w/ crankset
CASSETTE: Shimano M980, 11-36 (XTR) 10spd
CHAIN: Shimano CN-M980 10sp
BRAKES: Shimano XTR w/ 160mm Ice Tech rotors
BARS: Easton EC 70 685mm
STEM: Easton EA 90 31.8mm
GRIPS: Lizard Skin Charger
HEADSET: Cane Creek 110
SEAT POST: Thomson Masterpiece
SADDLE: WTB Silverado SLT
WHEELS: Mavic TN 719 disc rims laced to Chub 15mm front hub and DT 240S rear hub w/ DT 14/15 gauge spokes, alloy nipples
TIRES: Maxxis Crossmark 2.1 folding
TUBES: Maxxis .8mm

Or a genuine ad copied, re posted with bargain but credible price by scammers, who will suggest a western union transfer or money forwarding scam. Gumtree is full of them.

Do you really need telling? if it seems too good to be true, that's because it is

Might be worth posting here http://twitter.com/santacruz_uk
Although I'd say it's the usual scam and doesn't actually exist.

Uncanny

Apostaría que se ha montado no más de 5 veces

i refer you to my original post. When I was shopping for a used Nomad there were as many scam ads as genuine (more often on other sites to the 'bay due to paypal security).
