coolest eBay USA bike this year?

[PeteC]

Not my size, but a tremendous bike for the XL-set.

That's very nice. Too big for me and no international postage but it's very well proportioned for a big bike.

That green one got pulled. Original paint?! :|

Damn, just saw the green one ended early. It wasn't original paint... full-on recent resto.

Absolutely. The guy claimed it was a stock frame with original paint, yet has an Atac stem painted and decalled as an FTW - even has feedback from Manitou916 whom he bought the decal from.

Q: Hi! Just checking. You say "all original" but that looks like a repaint?
A: Thanks for your interest in the bike. It has its original, stock paint job on its frame forks stem and bars. This bike has not been repainted.

Unbelievably shady. Why are people like that? It's a teensy community.

Too weird. I saw this ad within about 5 minutes of it going on eBay. In the original description, the seller said the frame, fork and stem were re-sprays. Now he's saying otherwise? WTF? :facepalm: :facepalm:

Oooops, now I stand corrected. The ad said 'This bike has been fully restored. It's very close to original condition.' I had assumed that meant paint, too. My bad.

Looks like he's got a few bikes up now if you look at his other auctions.

He does mean paint. He wrote to (it looks like not only) me saying the paint is original.
