b40rt Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 You might be better looking for an air cooled mono shock if its only for playing on, a good one will be a lot cheaper than a good Fantic twin shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamjayzee Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 something 'odd' here if you look closely.. i believe the photos show two bikes... Think you might be right. I love spot the difference puzzles I get on me cornflake packets; First clue, look at the front light and front mudguard brace! Do I win anything?

majesty320 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hi all Your deffinately right the other pictures are of a 240 pro. I know this because I bought the 240 off him just before Xmas and recognise the ebay id and the pictures, looks like he couldnt be a***d taking anymore pictures. He seamed a decent guy though and quite knowledgable in his defence. Dont understand it myself as it just puts doubt in a potential buyers mind.

totalshell Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 bike pulled before the end.. seller recently did this with another bike as well i think.. saves ebat fees i suppose but is frustrating if you were waiting to bid high at the end of an auction..
