Mmm retro tax in force Part 2

jimo746 · Dec 23, 2017

A (1991?) Trek 7000, decent little bike, or a parts donor for another project.

I guess the basket of flowers is included in the price?

Re:

700C wheels?

They look suspiciously like 26" to me, or are my eyes playing tricks on me :?

The flowers are a nice touch, really ties the bike together :facepalm:

No, they are 26" wheels.im 99.9% sure of that.

I asked to see the bike on Wednesday and arranged to go and have a look after work on Friday. At which time the price was £50.
Friday lunchtime I get a message saying the price was now £150 and am I still interested? :facepalm: :roll:
It's a big fat "NO" from me

I can only assume the seller has found out the bike is "retro" and must be worth "loads" .
I did reply saying that no one would ever buy it at £150, and that £50 was optimistic but achievable if it was in good condition. :xmas-big-grin:
The incorrect information was added to the listing when the price was increased.

Re:

What a complete fanny

I've just read the description again and pretty much every detail is wrong. The tyres are clearly Panaracer for one!

Re:

Should be some LX bits on it, DX brakes etc. I was gonna use it for a parts donor.

For £150 I'd expect it to have M900 XTR bits on it!
