longweasel Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Came across this add it really seems to good to be true? Rather post it here and see if it helps https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1193060240853234/
Vetplant Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Ignoring the lack of detail and the weird arrangement of the wheels with the frame.... The price is not suspicious: I bought my Spez with Dura Ace, similar age, from a LBS in Bloemfontein for that price, absolute beauty of a machine. It was 2x 9 though, I see this is 2 x 11, which makes it somewhat better. So if you are keen on the deal, tell the seller to meet up at the local police station, that should flush him out if the deal is dodge.
TomR Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 I wouldn’t pay anything more for this bike. Old frame, old/worn components. Those are good wheels, but the old 2012/2013 spec. I wouldn’t consider this as suspicious based on the pricing.
Vetplant Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Id love the wheels lolYou made me go back and look again... What is the little thing on the one spoke?
Dirkitech Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Looks like a specialized allez, no? It's weird that the wheels aren't on and that the claimed shoes aren't in the pic. Oh and jhb central around marshalltown, yikes.
Dirkitech Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 You made me go back and look again... What is the little thing on the one spoke? Could simply be some isolation tape to keep an eye on a replaced spoke - I do that on my bikes and constantly have a taped spoke or three
Martin PJ Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Look for Specialised Roubaix 2008 on google images, same paint job.
Patchelicious Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 R10 says some Hubber will go buy that for R10k, then participate in the moaning about bicycles theft in SA.
nateOR Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 The lack of details provided was slightly concerning.Either way, I see the advert has now been removed.
