I asked what size it was and if the seller had the original warrantee. His answer: [i]had it 2 years no sorry no warranty its full size frame

- mark.1.2.3[/i]
Am I wrong thinking it might not be kosher? Especially those wheels and no front brake...

Am pretty much certain that's not an Iron Horse.

Dodgy as, IMO.

That's an Iron Horse SGS

But those forks aren't Shivers.

"And here's a picture of it in the person's garden that I nicked it from".

Edit: Sorry, that should be "...in the person's garden from whom I nicked it".

Seller seems to be dropping lots of brand names into the description, but not doing a very good job of it. Then again, it could be a bargain that someone with a limited interest in DH bikes is trying to flip for a quick buck. Which is kind of what eBay is for. 😉

There's no warranty on it as it's a 2003, therefore potentially nearly 7 years old!! If it was dodgy, he'd be looking to sell it as opposed to part exchange for something else.

Doesn't look to bad to me. Reasonable feedback for years, lots as a seller. Mismatched wheels are common. Mono Mini and long cage mech seems a strange choice.

Having bought a 3 series spoiler and clear lenses is against him i'll admit that much!
