Front ended?

[Gtpulse]

Is it the angle or has this had a good front end whack?

Look closely at the headtube

Seller has been informed

Mmmmm... seller doesn't seem interested in the fact that the bike has serious damage..Had a bit of back and forth so feel I have done my public duty but would not like to see the results of a catastrophic failure. I have seen enough facial injuries to last a lifetime.

I thought it looked mullered but didn’t want to email him without a second opinion. You’re right the paint loss on the head tube tells a story.
He’s probably seen the £1k ones on eBay and thinks £700 is fair!
I bought another one that is 100% original down to tyres and brake blocks for a tenth of that last week albeit needs a good clean and a stuck post removing.

It's not even worth £70! In fact I wouldn't pay £7 for it. a literal death trap.

I've emailed him too.
"It's the pictures that are misleading."
Tried sending pictures of what the rake/trail should look like but can't paste into ebay message.

Yeah he doesn't seem to want to listen....perhaps we should offer him £1 just to save someone else killing themselves

I reported the listing to eBay. There is no obvious category, but I bucketed it under something last night. You can't sell that without being clear it should not be ridden.
