Ali C Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Actually, after looking at other patriots on ebay I'm going to say these bikes are probably not worth more than the starting price. There are plenty of better bikes on Ebay for around the same price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arw_86 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Orange bikes on fb have just put one of the pics up (think it's the patriot) having a little dig at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_malcolm Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Has any one noticed that the descriptions on some of them say brake doesn't work, no shit the wheels don't have the disks on them and im sure one of them has a wheel from one of those dirt cheap full sus biks that were all the rage a few years ago with kids. they look a bit hacked together out of odd parts. For example the giant acid is running a radial laced wheel on a hub brake, I don't know about you guys but i wouldn't trust that as my rear wheel on a jump / trail bike would you?

Tomm Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 One bike has forks with 3 crowns One has 1 crown The Patriot has braking arms attached to the swingarm (instead of the main triangle), adding extra weight and rattle but nothing else Backwards cranks on the Commencal It's f**king bat shit crazy. My money's on Pete Wright... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf the Yellow Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 looks like an idiot has a collection of stolen bikes, and in order to shift them on ebay without matching it's stolen descriptions it's just got all sorts of random parts swapped over... oh I guess the stickers to cover it up as well. haha. What a fool Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbam Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Sweet holy jesus, those frames he is selling on his eBay are ridiculously covered in stickers haha! His punctuation and spelling are also appalling, how the hell does he get £1750 from a 75p bike and then start a 1750 quid one on 200 just like that lol? if he said he received it as payment, maybe he got all of the bikes together, and the crappy one was his idea of change? we will never know, ahh Kevin,ever the optimist. They are more than likely stolen, i've known people to have to supremo de-sticker or strip really badly done paint from various bikes and frames lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I remember years ago there was a really dodgy couple who lived local and 2 lads from Manchester used to hang out with them and they got pretty friendly with some of my mates. Then bikes started going missing and all clues pointed to this lot so we reported them to the filth who obviously took so long to come round and check the house out that by the time they got there all the stolen bikes were gone. They were mixing and matching the parts off the bikes and de stickering the frames then a flatbed would come from Manchester and load them up to take away. All the odd bits they hadn't used like bottle cages and stuff were just dumped over the back wall of the house they lived in so technically there was no stolen goods on their property and the police could do nothing.
