Title: Gumtree: Thorn Sherpa racer bike £345
Post by: humedavid on February 25, 2017, 11:49:10 PM
Not mine.
Looks as if the seller doesn't know much about the bike!  :o
Might come with an iffy history?

That's a good bike for someone, certainly not a racer.

something very dodgy about that add,
like why take a photo of it locked  up on what looks like a  fairly busy footpath and the price. buyer beware ;)

then again could be the snap of the year.

Have to agree with Anto, seems too good to  be true.

That's what  I meant by iffy history.

That text is also familiar, sounds like it is from the Thorn brochures

This one makes my "Spidey Sense" tingle. I echo Anto's concerns above.

Best,
