Ben Cox Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Saw this on Gumtree and thought it looked a bit wonky? Rattle can paint job, only able to list manufacturers of the parts where it's written on, Strangely cheap price? http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/adult-trials-bike-for-sale-gu-frame-drilled-and-grinded-rims-middleburn-crank-hope-front-disc/1025325415 Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom@eastcoasttrials Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 looks like they've painted everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkuskaUK Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Very dodgy advert! My mate is looking for a bike and this would be perfect... If it wasn't so obviously nicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Cox Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Yeah, hopefully someone will see it on here and it gets reunited with its owner! Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkuskaUK Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I really hope it does! I never recovered my T-Rex (dispute being bright green), I really hope this gets back to its rightful owner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 It's not necessarily stolen, looks old to begin with and could just be someone who bought it on a whim not knowing much about the sport and never really got into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hezzay Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 The thing that makes it most dodgy for me is the last line 'To be picked up preferably this week'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Don't think there is anything dodgy about it all really. The advert isn't great but then again it's better than some of the adverts on here. Edited July 17, 2013 by craigjames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) At least there are pictures! Some of the posters on here could take note.... As for whether it is stolen, the paint job was done with some care and the 'owner' does day it needs a new headset. Very cheap though, the cranks and brakes alone are worth a few bob to the right person... Edited July 17, 2013 by AndrewEH1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hezzay Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Someone should take it off him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I can't see a problem really? States there are no cracks which any trials enthusiast usually mentions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
