This strikes me as a bit strange:

He's also selling 1 Tonne of Chocolate!.. How did he end up with that bike but "knows nothing about bikes"... stollen and stripped down ? Usual no previous feedback and joined ebay this year.

That’s just come out of a bike box. Stolen by the courier? Well dodgy.

He lists the groupset and brakes which aren’t in the pics. 100% dodgy.

I saw this yesterday. New seller... Partially stripped brand new bike from someone who doesn't know about bikes.... There might be legit reasons for it but it looks super dodgy.

Slight aside.... The frame internal routing fittings appear to be in a sealed bag.

<span style="text-align: center;">Anyway, I wouldn't touch that with a barge pole. </span>

Fools and their money.  Couldn't be more dodgy yet bidding currently at £550.

This bike I am selling doesn't appear to have bars or a saddle (it actually doesn't have mech or chains either by the look if it).  Doesn't sound like it is their bike or they have a clue what they are actually selling.

That version specced with Marzocchi is pencil grey and comes with microshift gears not Deore, as dodgy as it gets, clearly likes nicking from lorries, or taking an extra pallet or box that's left over, I've heard of lorry loads having more than what's written on the sheet, perks of being a lorry driver. They've clearly tried to look it up, but it's the wrong comp version they're describing, Deore version is bullet grey and has yellow frame decals

"It seems its the frame and tyres"

Bars, dropper post and brakes missing out of the box? Dodgy as hell.
