Post by: pickle on December 09, 2010, 08:56 AM: is it from the states? if so i wouldn't bother as you're bound to get hit with tax and inport duty. If you're based in the UK i'm sure you could grab a Cali frame over here for what the tax and duty will be alone.

Post by: brettypeeps on December 09, 2010, 05:33 PM: I wouldnt buy a bike on a single picture... No dropout pictures then I wouldnt touch it. That is just my opinion If he wants to sell it he will get the Pics :daumenhoch:

Post by: stevesredvxr on December 09, 2010, 07:44 PM: Sometimes its worth taking a risk.........if it's not what u want bang it back on the bay. Nothing lost.

I did this with a Cali. No real description of the condition or any decent photos.....it actually turned out to be a Minigoose
when I got my hands on it!!!...it was perfect for my nipper! :smitten:

You don't know, It could turn out to be a really nice frame.

Post by: bobafett on December 09, 2010, 11:24 PM: I think £150 is too much for a cali - but that's just my opinion though, it may well sell for more on the wacky world of ebay..........
