dirtypot Posted December 9, 2020 Share What is it that makes it look suspect? I'd say it's priced correctly for what is a six or seven year old bike. The ad also lists the specs properly.Doesn't look at all dodgy to me. FondTF2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted December 9, 2020 Share Good photos - CheckSpecs listed - Check Realistic price - CheckSeller has a legit looking FB profile - Check A stolen bike would have been listed at R5000+- to make a quick sale.Nobody wants to sit on stolen goods for long.

I don't know who Jack Bruwer is, but just because he uses it, doesn't mean that it gets a clean bill of health from me. I personally think any and most open market places are dodgy.
