Hi All
Trying to do my bit for exposing things that are not quite as they seem. I saw this on ebay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cadre-de-velo ... Cyclisme_Vélos&hash=item4d0a00adea
First impression was that it was a carbone or carbon/kevlar. Only 2 pictures were shown. A few messages assured me that this was the case. Then I asked about the rear cable guides not being visible on the top tube, first message was that they had fallen off, ok, then 12hrs later he messaged again saying that it was internal routing through the top tube. Then the alarm bells rang, after a long search through google images I couldnt find one vitus carbon with internal routing , so i messaged back saying that and could he supply more pictures which he did. The one below clearly shows it to be painted unless Im blind. Also someone has drilled the frame to route the cable (very dangerous!) I think either the chap knows this or most probably is not aware of this as its not in his possession. Thought I should share as these frames are sought after and could have been a bad purchase. Tell me I haven't got this wrong
