IVE BEEN ADVISED IF YOU SPLIT THE BIKE UP, YOU WOULD GET OVER £600 IN PARTS ALONE.I COULDNT DO THIS AS ITS JUST TOO NICER BIKE
Inaccurate yes, hilarious no.
TBH I found his description that this bike was worth £1500 pretty amusing...
title corrected accordingly 😐
now you tell us - the auction is over and I missed out - shame cos it had a lightweight alloy frame !!!
and LX brakes - ohhh the stuff dreams are made of 😆

the bit that really tickled me was the title: "top of the range mountain bike"
