Saw this on ebay in the states.
I asked if he would ship to the UK but he only wants to ship inside the states.

Go for it m8, I would if he would ship to Canada or the UK.
I even have a shipping company in place to ship it here if he would consent.
Cant see the problem with some of the sellers in the US shipping goods to the UK

Neither can I. I have sent stuff to Australia, Canada, and England, and take advantage of the local packaging store up the street. I just take the item in, ask for packaging cost, and then shipping cost, and they take care of the rest including walking me thru the declaration form.
Like a travel agent, they check the cheapest way, whether it be UPS, Fedex, or USPS. I just pass on that cost to the buyer.

I notice all the stickers have been removed from the frame. So if I can give one word of warning when buyng carbon frames thats check the size is correct. Even though it is advertised as a large it could easily be a medium. As you might be aware people get confused with the way these frames are sized and measure the bb to seat and assume its a large. This distance is the same on large and medium.
If you do definatly want a large, ask for the top tube measurement,center seat post to center head tube, Large =579mm Medium =554mm.
I only say this because I have had to return one frame which was wrongly advertised and twice nearly bought a 'Large ' but after measuring they were mediums.
Good luck and hope all works out for you

I wonder who got the frame as it went so cheap
-
I emailed the guy re the sizing and got this reply
I measured the top tube for you. It is 552 mm or 21.75 inches. There are IS disc mounts on the non drive side of the frame. I had disc brakes on this bike. If you'd like I can send you pics of it. Just send me your email. Thanks jjwarren3@hotmail.com
I didint know they came with IS disc mounts , so thats me wrong then.

Anyone on the list get this frame. I wonder if he had a Hammerhead disc adapter or some other on it?

There you go, so it was a medium and not a large as advertised.We'll let him off the 2mm. Not a problem if you are under 6', but for riders over 6' it would probably be too small.
And they didnt come with disc mounts as standard,so it would have been something he added.
