Dont normally do this, but something fishy about this ad? Interesting spec list .. ahem

Looks alright to me, if some guff spelling.
It doesn't really look ok.
He thinks it's a medium...... If you buy a nicola you know what size it is.
As for the rest.......
HERE IM SELLING MY NICOLAI ARGAN FR EASTON HARD TAIL IF YOUR LOOKING AT THIS BIKE THEN YOU HAVE PROBABLY DONE YOUR HOME WORK THESE ARE THE BEST MONEY CAN BUY THERE MADE IN GERMANY THIS IS THE ENDURO FREE RIDE,AND I THINK THE FRAME IS MEDIUM AM 6FT THE FRAME IS IN GOOD CONDITION THE REST HAS A BIT OF WEAR AND TEAR, ITS HAS FLOAT FOX FORKS NEW SEAT MINI HOPE BRAKES XTR REAR MEC V12 PEDDLES EASTEN HANDLE BARS HOPE SCREWS THOMPSON HEAD SET EASTON STEM SUNDIAL RIMS AND MUCH MORE HAPPY BIDDING
CASH ON COLLECTION OR PAYPAL
PICK UP ONLY
Looks dodgy to me. Any bike with "float fox forks" and "mini hope brakes" is clearly nicked.
Peddles
Easten
Thompson head set
Nicolai Argan
Sundial rims
It's not just that he's got a spelling problem, he clearly knows nothing about it. I'd not go near it.
Looks like a Head For The Hills chainstay protector. Worth contacting them to see if anyone's bought an Argon off them and reported it nicked?
edit: Item location even matches HFTH shop.
I can't believe no-one has mentioned the hose discarded down the side of the shed yet.
It is legit, after contacting the lbs.
Being an incoherent idiot doesn't make you a thief... If it did every bike on gumtree would be stolen. THIS ARE MY BIEK IT GUD IT GOT TEH GEARS IT BMX FOR COMMUTING AN DOWNHILLS IM SELLING TI COS I GOT A SPEEDFIGHT LOL
(I don't know why but they can always spell "commuting" but never "bike")
Being an incoherent idiot doesn't make you a thief
Clever, coherent thieves don't steal bikes - they steal diamonds 😉
Seriously though, anyone that has bought a bike of this calibre (price) would at least know what size it is.

you're serious, right ? They can match the ad to the owner 😯

Hmmm. If you'd said Pinkbike I might have agreed, but Gumtree has got more fences than Travis Perkins.
Yup, they rang the owner, and they confirmed that it is him who is selling it.
So it is 100% legit.
Hopefully, they will also tell him what the components are so he can write a proper add for it and get the reserve price.
Looks like the STW womens institute are looking after the nations morals and bike sales again then... 🙄
