Was gonna say 'nicked' but the photos make it look like a real sale!

Dodgy advert more like.  Member since March, zero feedback, selling item for £3K.  Stolen bike?

I reckon they’ve borrowed the pics from someone else’s ad.

Crim or otherwise they're not a Brit selling it I reckon, take a look at their other item for sale, and the description.

Nothing to worry about.  Obviously a devout Christian given the username.

I don't think they're going to get 250 for that "lamp colourful - fantastic"

Postage on the lamp is more than the bike 😬, everything is super dodgy, I get a weird feeling that's not a British house interior, vaguest description of an expensive bike I've seen in a while.

What's wrapped around the bar blocking the view of the stem ? So weird.

the photo's were taken in what looks like a playroom in a funeral home.

I think it's just someone with a lot of money who is probably a bit older and not very tech savvy. If it was stolen they'd be looking for quick cash, whereas that is overpriced and won't sell.  They were sold it by a shop who were glad to shift a pricey 27.5 bike in the current climate, never used it and someone has suggested they put it on ebay and this is the result.

In terms of pricing, i'm almost tempeted to buy this one

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225637790023

But i'm more thinking of a 5010 but one of the later ones with a slacker head angle. I nearly made a mistake yesterday and clicked on one to buy, but then reading the description the head angle was 66.5deg.... I feel that's a bit too steep.

Hi weeksy. Can't find the original post, so will just ask here...

What was your verdict on the Slayer eventually?
Pauls is knocking out various permutations around half price, and I'm vaguelly tempted for a new 170mm travel bike.

But it appears you are too, which suggests you dont like the RMS much...

Aha. I've clearly misread the thinking on the Megatower. Great to hear you like the Slayer.
I had indeed seen that blue one on PB for 1950. Sorely tempted...

TBH mate, i'd happily buy either the Blue one or even one of those on Pauls for the price.. Really good value.

The only fault i could pick is internal routing which i'm not a fan of.
