The extra weld by the rear mech is a clue.

e bay will do nothing - I have reported dodgy stuff to them before and they just say "prove it and then contact your local police..."

The frame doesn't look all that bad actually. I think personally it could possibly be a Raleigh from about 2001ish. My mate's got one, and the dropouts and chainstay bridge section look very familiar.

Wasn't a bad bike. Came with Alivio and Deore bits. Kind of Hardrock sort of level bike.

Looks like some poor sod will get fleeced mind. Not worth the £185 it's currently at.

If it is the same frame as I think it is, that's actually how it's made. Chainstay welded onto a machined section.

I can be certain as I'm viewing on my phone and it's not too clear but it looks like it doesn't have QR on anything.

My favourite bit on the bike is how the old blue decals are poking out from underneath the new ones (see the top tube)

It's a shame really that some idiot that knows nothing about bikes will buy that thinking its a Cannondale

Plenty of length on a few of the cables. I feel sorry for anyone buying it that thinks it's real, the seller needs reporting.

Oh dear...

The folks bidding on this are probably the type of people who'd pay £30k for a small hatchback, just because it says "BMW" on it.

Not sure, but I sent him a question asking what exact model of Flash it was.

(along with a link to a picture of an actual 2010 Flash just for giggles).
