The new bike auctions look suspicious.  No previous feedback.  Bidding listed in Pounds and buy it now price is in U.S. Dollars.  View the seller's other auction and you'll see pages of other brand bikes including high end bikes.

EXCELLENT POINT,though I suppose we all have to start some when,
though if I wanted/could afford one  :( I'd insist on collecting (just up road for me) and paying at collection,I see payment protection is offered but you just never know these days [smiley=worry.gif] I hope it is qenuine.
Curiousity got the better of me so I've contacted the seller for some info,now awaiting a response.
Note the last 2 listed are from different sources with feedback and are s/hand including a nice K2 5000 frameset.

Jimbo,removed the origional posting with the listings, I was in the process of reporting these items to ebay after you rightly brought to my attention that they might be a scam (it started playing on my mind),before I got to far suprise suprise the items had already been removed,
ah well live and learn,should of known it was to good to be true >:(
the other ones are still on there though,might go for the 900 model,could be a bargin plus another aluminium s/arm [smiley=nod.gif]

I have tried messanging the seller with two different accounts.  One was sort of official asking lots of questions where the bikes came from etc.

smells of a scam unfortunately.
