And I fookin hate it on ebay when people misuse the word "stunning" on really bad bikes or anything for that matter.  I'm not going to be stopped in my tracks and be rendered immobile by a £20 bike.... :rant: :LolLolLolLol:

To someone that knows no better it would turn heads.

You lot are just ripping it to pieces because you recognise it for what it is- you're not exactly perspective buyers.



I bet in reality its still a nice bike to use or ride - if you have one ( A real Skyway TA)  and have a child who wants to be like his mom or dad on their bikes... job done.. there you go.

Fair play though on Passionford we spend a lot of time ripping peoples ebay adverts for RS cars and cosworths apart.... because we can!!!!!

Jake, I can see what you are saying but to push your analogy it's like someone advertising a Mk4 Cortina as a replica Mk1 RS1800 BDA because it has an RS badge on it.  To say an unaware buyer might be disappointed is an understatement especially if they don't really know what it is.  That POS is as much like a Skyway TA as it is a Mk4 Cortina  :daumenhoch:.  Still you've got to laugh at the size of the sellers balls  ;).

HAHAHA... yeh I'll give you that BUT... in defense of your point... a MK4 cortina doesn't look like a MK1 escort... where as to the untrained eye- a bmx is a bmx.  2 wheels.. 2 triangles.. handlebars... seats and pedals....

Now.. if you'd said-  a MK5 escort with a spoiler + rs badge Vs an Escort Cosworth (still a mk5 ) then we'd be in the same ball park.


Now- I am off to my mates to talk objectivly about whatever clarkson comes up with on TG tonight.

Yeah, but surely a replica actually has to resemble the original slightly more than just a set of stickers FFS, it does not even have aero tubing, has a standing platform and does not even have Sklyways wheels  :idiot2:  :LolLolLolLol:
