Mamil Posted October 4, 2019 Author Posted October 4, 2019 It's exactly one of those where I was confronted with my own prejudices and judgements - completely incongrous picture the details of which aren't relevant. I joked with the guy about how tough the transbaviaans is and he didn't know what I was talking about. All of the tensions dicussed in the other threads on this topic were present - he knew I was suspicious and he knew why and I knew he knew. He answered the burning question by saying that it was his bosses bike which I didn't know whether to believe or not. Ghastly encounter full of all of the tensions that plague us.

Long Wheel Base Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Ah, so an exterra athlete then Exactly. But I guess the decider would be if he had socks up to his knees or not. Or is that only triathletes?
Hairy Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Exactly. But I guess the decider would be if he had socks up to his knees or not. Or is that only triathletes?only triathletes and trail runners ......... oh, and some roadies and Patch
dev null Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 It looks in "mint" condition. Most Spezs would look mint after a few races. Usually to be found at the rear end watching scenery and enjoying race snacks. You might find a few crumbs and Coke stains on the top tube.

If he agreed your suspicions were possibly right... if he said it was his bosses and not for sale.... then no reason not to believe
