Title: ALERT!!! This ebay bike looks familiar.
Post by: shovelon on May 29, 2007, 03:34:12 am
This ebay bike looks familiar. The 959 label looks to be from someone on this board.

Does anyone know who is selling it? Is it legit?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Proflex-K2-Carbon-Fibre-Full-Suspension-Mountain-Bike_W0QQitemZ160121378533QQihZ006QQcategoryZ33503QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I've got the template for those stickers but can't remember who I got them off - it was somebody here though...

Hi there im getting used to using this forum a bit more now, pretty new here been sourcing bits for my 5500 from all over the world.

was wondering if there are any more of those decal sticker templates going round like oz or 5500 sets.

Im a graphic designer so was going to redraw them up but if anyone has theses to hand that would be a great time saver

thanxs jase

I have 2 sets: 1 as above and the other on a white background - any use to you? PM me with your email address and I'll send them to you.

I've emailled Mike Hammer to see if it is his, I'm sure his was one of the very few that had 959 stickering - and it was stolen.

Seller says that he will deliver within 100 miles. Nice offer but  sounds fishy, could be a setup.

Hope Mike Hammer has a look. And some evidence of ownership.

I sent him an email via his work. But Mike would NEVER run an X~Link

He did send me some 959 stickers for my Oz frame, very cool, indeed.

Thanks for the heads up guys...

The bike I had stolen was fitted with grimeca hydraulic discs, hammerhead adapter at the rear, marzocchi forks, shimano wheelset... quite distinctive. I have not been able to access ebay here from work, I'll have a look at the link Bill sent me in the mail...
In a way I hope it is not my stolen bike, because I don't want to go through all of that....   and chances are that the person selling it actually bought it in good faith, so it would be like stealing it from them too...

It was stolen in Sweden by some low life... probably is on some hill-billy farm somewhere in sweden, or sold for 30 bucks to buy drugs...

Goes around and comes around...

Take it easy,

Hammer.

Looks like the seller ended the bid.  I wonder why?

mmmm funny that!

It ended shortly after I requested the frame number from the seller expressing my interest in purchasing the bike.

conclusion NICKED!!!!! in my opinion
