Verrrrry expensive raleigh, Bulls**t advert

Item code 131553221977

quote: "•Described as used , but has clearly NEVER been ridden"

what's with the chain slap chips on the chain stay then?

Oh and nice crappy 6 speed screw-on freewheel and other mish-mash of parts, yours for £999.99

Certainly seems to be optimistic in his description and price. Later parts, fitted to a chipped frame do not make a £999 Raliegh. Looks more like a frame rebuild bitsa that was ridden.

But the advert does say they are a proper bike shop :mrgreen:

Re:

That's a right old mish-mash of parts spanning more than a decade.

Parts bin special coupled with some cheapo wheels.

Dunno. £300 feels like a more realistic price.

Re:

Wow, a real shit-tip of a bitsa bike. They probably got the Saturday boy to 'come up with something out of the parts bins'. £300 would be optimistic but more like it! 6 speed shifters with v-brakes?

Bit odd really, graham weight own branded frames pop up from time to time on here and are okay, and the rest of his listings are reasonably priced

But this is a mess

Re:

I had to have another look at this and there's more classic lines in there;

"Please note: This price is an eBay EXCLUSIVE offer and can only be purchased at this price from the eBay store"

Yet....

"If you wish to make an offer call me on 01244831110"

remember;

"If you have any questions about any of our listings please contact us, after all we are a "Proper Bike Shop"

Only question that springs to mind is - "are you takin' the p***?"
