Re:

That poor thing needs saving!

I'm instantly put off by sellers with a feedback score below mid 90's though...and his negative feedback doesn't read very well!

That's probably the worst feedback I've ever read for an eBay seller! :shock: Very much buyer beware, I think...

Re:

Oh how I just tittered....

Check the most recent feedback for the seller....

"V unpleasant seller. Avoid at all costs!"
"Dr Martens kristy dark brown virgina + darken suede boot"

I read something entirely different at first glance :shock:

That is actually what the boots are called apparently

Re:

Real shame it's missing it's wheel set too, would have had a sweet set of bullseye hubs on it originally.

He Does have some other retro bikes too.
