Dubious how there is no pic of the dropouts, which would tell you for sure if it was real.

IT STINKS! :knuppel2:

Post by: Swivel on May 22, 2008, 10:57 AM: This bloody bloke is trying it on again! :knuppel2: :2gunsfiring_v1: Originally was mine, made up as a Fiola replica. I sold it on ebay as a replica/copy and stated that in the auction, this guy bought it, then 2 weeks later he tried to re-sell it on as an original GT frame/forks, total joke :2gunsfiring_v1:. The frame was originally a falcon freestyler I believe, which I had powdered yellow and had some left over decals from my real GT and put them on the frame. There was never any GT stamps on it and the drop outs ain't GT as it isn't an original. Once again, whoever buys this will be very disappointed. He should list it as a copy/replica and do the right thing. Someone needs to report this to ebay!

Post by: davevilla on May 22, 2008, 04:41 PM: I think it's top work getting the guy to change the description chaps :daumenhoch:- but what's all this 'found in the garage' guff? He presumably found it in the garage because he put he put it there?

Unless Swivel sneaked the frame into the garage and sent him a bill for it?

Post by: Swivel on May 22, 2008, 04:44 PM: Yep sounds like bullcrap to me Dave. I certainly haven't had anything to do with this guy or frame in a very long time.

Probably best to keep it like that mate - not be trusted by all accounts.
