There is a hole in the frame behind the crank..........check the sellers photos

Insurance said they not repairing so they wrote it off, salvage company took the bike and shipped it to pretoria

Saw the ad pop up on facebook and bikehub today

eish thats scary - seller with lots of 5 star ratings - would not expect that...

So the bike "hasn’t been ridden much." part of the sales pitch also not true?

Are you referring to this?

So the bike is a write off?
