That Spec Enduro looks good however if the guys got a shop why is he selling it on Ebay at such a knockdown price, looks iffy to me.

The write up caught my eye on it, seemed to be a real sense of urgency to get rid, however Im sure if you fired the right questions to him you could get a better picture
Know what you mean though!

Not sure about that Trek either. He says it's only been out twice but it's got the usual scratches and cable rub. Where did he take it on the two occassions...round the world?

[martinw]

Its probably genuinr that mate, Ive got the same bike and the paint had wore down to the metal after 2 good rides on the trails. The quality of the paint is Poooooooooo

While I remember, Revolution in bangor have these in for a grand on the nose, but he said he will sort a good price for you. Cracking bike for the money!

There are good bike deals to be had out there, i think its just a case of getting that grand in your hand then start doing your homework.
