Not mine.
Looks as if the seller doesn't know much about the bike!

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.

I'm informed that it is now £300.

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,

Dan.
