Got to wonder if the guy really wants to sell it.

I love it when they put, usually in big letters "this is a no reserve auction" but then have a starting price of £500.

Surely the reserve is £500? All they're doing is limiting the bidding. No-body is going to bid over £500 initially, but take the start price away and the price may go over £500 if a bidding war gets going.

bidding war on a trek y 11 ?!

Have you ever ridden one of those things?!

 

[Russell]

Well, yeah I was writing more in general to be honest

I never got a chance to ride one but always assumed they must have been good - all the reviews BITD raved about them!!!

Having said that, the idea of URT's always seemed a bit illogical to me. I wanted my suspension working the most for rocky downhills, when I'm mostly standing out of the saddle...

I particularly like the unreachable and mud scooping bottle cage position......sheep dung is an acquired taste.

Trek Y Ugly!!

'Nuff said Jez!!

And that other one has deffinatly been hit with the ugly stick!!

I rode one for a while as a shop sponsor bike thinking they were supposed to be good after all the reviews.
It was a steep learning curve....trying to sit down on downhills was odd....
The carbon looked lovely up close but was an awful ride

the best one of these I have seen was on the wall in a shop.
It had been cut in half along the length and stuck on a stand

Yet int states these still bring a reasonable end price :?
