EBAY ITEM: Is this really titanium?

[edstart]

Seller says that it is a custom built bike originally costing £2900. With all that Alivio on it I have my doubts.

Nope, Aluminium, 100% sure of that too.

and i wouldn't pay much more than the £10.50 current price. Report it to ebay for false listing :twisted:

 

[Splatter Paint]

NO.

Cheapo aluminium.

 

[edstart]

I have sent them a message to mention the small anomally in their listing.

 

[Splatter Paint]

Did you tell them to knock a zero off of the build price?

 

[Harryburgundy]

£2900
It would have to be a Litespeed Tanasi frame at the original price of around £2.3K to be that expensive ... but that still leaves £600 to spend on what...Alivio? Mmmm..methinks the seller is a wee dishonest or away smelling the daisies.

We used to sell Radfords and Claude Butlers at £199 that looked and were specc'ed the same as that - no doubt from the same far east factory!

I think I've just wet myself.


I've got to lie down

The other 'Lotus' is better specced (but cost less new?) and has the deathwish Tranz-X bar ends.
