NOT a Stumpjumper, Ebay £26

[Repacker]

This is not even close to any iteration of the M2 Stumpjumper it claims to be. Does anyone have any idea what it is underneath the new paint and decal? I don't, but it doesn't even look to be from the same league as any Stumpy.

It's more of a Stunkdumpster

Should we tell the seller?

 

[Markybeau]

I already have. He's completely contradicted his description and resorted to, " it's a 25 quid bike mate, it doesn't matter what it is."

Evidently unaware of the history of Lotus bikes, Tour de France, Chris Boardman hour record etc

Not to mention the history of his very own bike....

"Owned since the early 90s this specialized stumpjumper is one of the original and best (at the time) mountain bikes, I've had to recommission it with brand new tyres and a brand new decent chain as these were perished and rusty so not usable. it will probably need setting up properly and a good Polish but it's got years left as its built like a tank. I would prefer collection but I can box it up if you want to arrange a courier. Thanks for looking"

Someone buy it, peel the decal, and restore it back to full Lotus-ness, please.
