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.

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.
