NF1 Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Me too! I'm sure that comment is not in reference to any particular advert ould one do that with a vehicle as well... bought new in 2017, but model release was 2015.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) ould one do that with a vehicle as well... bought new in 2017, but model release was 2015.Ah, but that's not true. As with all things, we go by date of manufacture. a 2015 audi a3 will always be a 2015 model, even if it looks exactly the same as the 2016 one. Likewise with bicycles. It's the year of manufacture that matters. Edited February 21, 2017 by Myles Mayhew

It's the year of manufacture that matters. But with vehicles it's first registration date. I think some may innocently advertise their wares here as a particular year model since that is when they store purchased it new... that's not really being unethical.

NF1 Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I changed my ad now... LOL... to...condition is like brand new... hope that's satisfactory hey... But seriously... idiots that ask for higher offers to start a bid fest... are not cool!!! BigTom 1

Even if it is innocent, it is not correct. A fork purchased in 2016, but manufactured in 2013, has significant differences from a 2016 model. If you are going to sell on the hub, then it is the seller's responsibility to make sure that the information is correct. If the seller is unsure of the year model, then state that they are unsure. What really get's me is when they "innocently" post incorrect information, get corrected by a knowledgeable hubber, and then aggressively attack the one who pointed out the error and insist they are right.

I saw a 2015 bike advertised as a 2017. When I pointed this out I was called names etc.
Pure Savage Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Indeed. I saw a 2015 bike advertised as a 2017.

Thats why I like the hub classifieds, people can discuss the items. Skylark 1

I should have put bikes as opposed to wares... your points are valid
Pure Savage Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Another question, what makes a bike "Argus ready" compared to every other day of the year ready? EmptyB and BigTom 2
Bomberman Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Another question, what makes a bike "Argus ready" compared to every other day of the year ready?aaah the Argus bike..... these are a scares breed of bike. Kept in a cadge most of its life and only released just before the argus. BigTom 1
BigTom Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Another question, what makes a bike "Argus ready" compared to every other day of the year ready?I'd also like to know the answer to that one. Or what about this bike achieved a podium finish at such and such a race. Ummm pretty sure it didn't do that on its own. Pure Savage 1
BigTom Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Then comment again......At a certain point it becomes pointless. Some sellers just going to insist they are right.

Mongoose! Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Another question, what makes a bike "Argus ready" compared to every other day of the year ready? Thinking of selling my 'Argus bike' after the 'Argus'. Will keep an eye on the classifies for a '94.7 Ready bike'... BigTom 1
