Very odd auction. On the plus side, frames don't come with any hard water, so no need to attach a Brita filter.

Mmmm, had a google but could not see anything, they are all used frames though.

I love those frames, but not sure it is worth the risk....

Bankrupt or old stock clearance maybe?

Not everyone flogging stiff on eBay is a thieving scumbag, just most of them...

Looking at his other items he seems to be clearing some bike shop stock to me.

From the boxes and work stands in the pic looks like a bike shop workshop
Can't say it seemed that odd to me ,

Which sadly means there is a good chance they are dead 🙁

The seller has them listed as 'used' which still means they must be fully working according to ebay [url= http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/item-condition.html ]conditions[/url], if they aren't working, they have to be listed as 'for parts or not working' so if you chose to get one, and it was defective, you could legitimately claim that it was not as described.

My guess is Freeborn selling off their ex-demo bikes or staff bikes. With the Esher shop going a couple of years back and what looks like Freeborn stopping being a Mythic shop, I would guess it's dead stock they want rid of.

Demo bikes makes sense, although no shocks is a little odd.

Edit: Horsham is in West Sussex too, nice they pay attention to the details!

If you go into the sellers other items he's got a few bits more for sale shows and stuff so seems limit just asked if collection is an option as I'm local.
Bats.
