madcr500 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Have a read of this and let me know what you think. P.S. HOW MUCH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I saw that liting today. The seller clearly states - It is not restored, it is not nearly new and it is not just in immaculate condition. It is 100% brand new. He then goes on to list all the faults with the bike !! Definition new (NOT USED) Show phonetics adjective not previously used or owned: Used car sales have risen because of the increased cost of new cars. Did you buy your bike new or second-hand? See also brand new. (from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary) How can a bike be owned by someone else for 29 years and still be 'NEW'. It is not new - just unused. Yes it's extremely rare to find a bike so old unused and would be fantastic to wheel straight into a museum. I don't think it should ever be used now.

swooshdave Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I think by "new" they mean "unused" not as in "showroom condition". Plus it's ebay, so I'm just surprised when any words are spelled correctly let alone used correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
