Gumtree: Thorn Sherpa racer bike £345
« 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 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,

Down to £300 again and it's a size large!
