This is an absolute steal, right? Someone talk me down.

Nice one

Can anything sold on Gumtree be trusted?

 

[wonderdog]

This is a safer bet for similar money

The first one you provided the link to looks to be totally original ... still the right chain rings and even the stem. A good buy.

Yes agree to that , i got in touch with the seller of the second one and it sounds like someone has painted over the lower section of the forks and it might well have a frozen seat post

It's an amazing price but I fear it might be an absolute steal. The same seller is flogging a locked iPhone with the claim, "I found it on the street, called the owner but she had called the insurance already so she wasn't interested in collecting it." hmmm...

I watch various item categories on Gumtree, most especially caravans, motorhomes and classic cars. As a result of this I normally send in somewhere 10 & 15 complaints each week asking for them to be withdrawn as they are very obviously fraudulent!!!

Looks like a shed find.

A 'racing bike' in Richmond, London for £10. It seems to have a Brooks saddle.
https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/3-speed-old-racing-bike-/1286032837

It's gone within 2 hours - I'm not surprised at that price.

 

[MiK1138]

I can never understand people bidding for items so far in advance of the closing time!

I always bid my budget, as the price climbs as bids come in until it ends, so I will either win at on or below budget or lose because it exceeded my budget
