sluiper Posted November 19, 2014 Share But in this case the corrected value speaks for itself. Well, as soon as you know of someone selling a SL4 with Di2 and Zipp 202's for R18 000, please let me know as I'll take a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arendoog Posted November 19, 2014 Share OK, I could be wrong. Weird that the same ad is up on OLX (http://capetown.olx.co.za/s-works-tarmac-sl4-di2-zipp-r-75-000-iid-746185666) with some very different info and a more realistic price. Also, the email address "she" uses when replying has been reported for being used in other scams. "She" also came back to me and said she added a 0 too many (but then doesn't fix the ad?). Doesn't really add up for me.Scam .Only SmS .Does not know what a carbon wheel is .Nigerian accent .STAY AWAY !!!!.Says he is in Freestate ??? Somebody with aR75000 bike but does not have e-mail ???

Long Wheel Base Posted November 19, 2014 Share At least they have the decency to tell you they slid off and the carbon has been repaired . On a serious note the climb buttons for the Di2 are nice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogo@ Posted November 19, 2014 Share Same bike but different price (R179000) plus full story here: http://www.gumtree.co.za/a-sports-bicycles-fitness/tamboerskloof/s-works-tarmac-sl4-di2-zipp/1001203375710910002725309 Different contacts too. Posted 29/10:(I wondered about the "slid off" bit!!)" the Di2 was transferred over from my then frame (an SL3 Roubaix) and has been in use two years now. the S works stem/bar were also transferred over so these too are two years old. the Zipp 202 wheels were bought last january so 18 months, they were not on the bike when I slid off. the saddle is the 89g selle italia SLR C64 saddle . the frame has brand new internal cabling . NOW, an important piece of information....I fell off this bike last August and damaged (scratched) the right hand seat stay such that it needed reinforcing with carbon through Carbon Bike Solutions. their best efforts cannot replace the decals 100% and if you look specifically you can tell, but you have to look its not obvious (pic 3). there is a mark on the downtube also from a time when I put it against a stone on the cumbrian hills and it was scratched but its not obvious. Ive done hundreds if not over thousands of miles on this bike since and its not been any concerns. More details ? contact me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 19, 2014 Share "Cumbrian hills" "thousands of miles" seems like it's been plagiarised from a uk ad to lend an air of authenticity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
