I think it's a bit much ask if you can have the front wheel for £500 as well?

I wonder how many times he will list it before he realises its worth peanuts... Another fud trying to sell something that's not worth much.
If it's broken, it's not fixed.

It's not always the sellers. I bid on a cat back exhaust for my car and the idiots got into a bidding war, it ended up selling for £10 less than a brand new item, OK so the winner saved £10 but no guaranty other than the pipe being in the condition described in the advert
Complete fabrication, I didn't make it up!

Not in this case. The seller has put a "Buy it now" price of £140 and anyone can make an offer at whatever they like. The offer may or may not be accepted.

Apparently the chain is in Greece. It would be a lot better if it was in grease LOL!

I was going to offer him a tenner including delivery, just for the sprockets, but I don't fancy the hassle of trying to get my tenner back when it doesn't arrive.

I've seen everything now,  :eek  It looks like he's fished that bike out of the Adriatic!
Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.
