Yup, I reckon you are right on the BS thing...I might have been convinced if it were not for those decals, unlikely to have been done at the factory. The painted parts, tasteless as they are look to have been done to a very high standard and been lacquered over....the streetbeat logo has been die cut and stuck on top. A 'nice' custom job but not factory I reckons...

How has it got to £490?
Gotta be shill bidding 

[workshyfop]

i am unable to stop laughing.

what a hideous paint job.

the seller is just full of shit!!

[Taipan]

Wow! ended £510  looks like ebayer  j**l had a hand in it getting up to that price? Ebay don't give a sh*t! as they'd rather take their fee's on £510 than £210 .....if you ask me ebay is funcked now need an alternative these days and not that bloody Facebook b*ll*cks!

it just gets worse...that streetbeat and that stem off it, must have been an awful looking hunk of junk built up.

wonder what clown thought that was worth over £500, its a streetbeat frame and fork the end of the day. which normally is a nice looking frame, but that piece of shit just looks ludicrous.

they could have bought pickles complete bike for not that much more than that frameset, at least that looked good with nice parts on.

that thing off ebay is just going to look like a clown bike no matter what they do.
