Tomm Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Someone should point out to the chav selling it that someone's nicked his seat. I think he'd get the irony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManxTrialSpaz Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Pictures not working for some reason, is it just the spelling that makes you think this or am i missing something ? For a start he said it has Zool handlebars instead of Zoo! Quite a mistake when you look at the keyboard. I suppose you could get Zool if the ezxclamtion mark on the bars has been rubbed off slightly, which shows he doesn't know what the f**k is on the bike, so its probably been stolen.

JD™ Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Pictures not working for some reason, is it just the spelling that makes you think this or am i missing something ? pic probably not working because i linked straight from ebay.. weird that your school blocks that as well. Nothing too obviously wrong in the pics, but the listing in general looks a bit suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicP Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Say it was stolen,and hypothetically it was stolen from me .What could i or ebay do?(just wondering like)NicP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 First off I would contact the seller and tell him I have reason to believe it's a bike I had stolen, and be sure not to place blame on the seller. Then when the obvious no reply came then I would get in contact with Ebay and provide evidence to say the bike is yours, i.e. pics, receipts etc. if neither of these work, put a bid in for £99999999999 so you definately win the item and wait for him to start contacting you pretty much instantly!

Rich J Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Nah mate i dont think its nicked.... Why would a thief take that many photos of all the bits youd want pics of.And if you robbed it i very much doubt all the parts have stickers telling you what part it is on.Quite cheap but still reckon its a rich kid whos bought it and cant ride it.

Mark W Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Almost all the info he's given is wrong in some way though, so it does look like it's stolen. Whether he bought it off the original thief or not is another matter, but it wouldn't be the first time I'd seen a nicked bike just go straight up on the Bay.I recognise seeing that bike in a "Stolen" thread too. Trying to rack my brains to remember who's it was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinny.p Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Does look dodgy especially as in the pic of the magura lever the bolt that holds the lever blade in is falling out, i dont think theres a trials rider out there that wouldnt tighten that up.

Token Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 You can quite clearly see that he's stolen the description from the Heatsink Website which is infact the description for the 24UK No#2. The one that's being sold (99% sure) is the 24UK No#1.There not exactly the most popular frames, surely someone must know if somebodys had one stolen.

vinny.p Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Its weird that as everyone on heres talking about it being nicked it gets taken off ebay, that suggests that someone on here nicked it or knows the person selling it and has told them to remove it hmmmm!

basher Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I dont think its nicked, if you knew nothing about bikes and was a chav who'ed nicked it. Then a chain would be a chain you wouldnt go to the trouble of looking on the chain to see it says kmc. It does seem alittle suspect but i think its proberly a rider that is new to sport may be?

Krisboats Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 What not to do:Don't email him to say he's a thieving little ****, don't email him telling him its yours, don't tell him you think its stolen.What to do:Find the real owner, i'm sure someone on here must know him, if he's ordered stuff from heatsink or bought it second hand chances are he'll know about this forum. Tell the owner to contact the police about it showing pictures of his bike and if possible, him with the bike. The police will probably sort it out through ebay trying not to alert the seller as to what they're doing. If you wanna be a hardcore ass kicking arnie wannabe, win the auction, collect it in person and proceed to batter the seller instead of paying them and just take the bike. Please note thats probably the best sounding option revenge wise, but possibly the stupidist one also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
