It's subjective I guess.

This would probably turn my head if I saw it but it'd be more 'WTF?!' rather than 'OMG I want one' http://cork.gumtree.ie/cork/02/64911202.html

If TT bikes are meant to be superstiff I don't know where this would get its stiffness from unless it's solid instead of hollow but (without having scientifically analysed it) I still can't see it being that stiff with out the triangle shape. Can't think that it would accommodate heavy riders either but if it was designed with competitive cyclists in mind I guess that this wouldn't be an issue.

Btw, have any of yous down here in the sunny south seen it out on the roads?

It looks very much like a Softride and he mentions them in the add so I'm guessing that's where he based his design. If the tubing is shaped to suit the design then I imagine that one is relatively stiff (Same as the Kestral above).

I had a Softride mountain bike many years ago and loved it although everywhere I went people where always looking at it which probably explains why it was nicked. Very in-efficient to cycle but I still loved it!

I don't mean to belittle CramCycle's MS Painting skills, but it looks like a Zefal HPX pump stuck to the side of the seat stay.... (or maybe that's what he meant?).

It's OK, I was just trying to replace the part of the bike the designers missed out on, more of a hint rather than a finished piece of work, I'm no designer.

Could be stolen? I've just sent an email to them there enquiring about a viewing.

Will tell you in 1 hour. Chap in here is enroute with two mates to view it. It's either stolen or he is about to get robbed!!!

The exact same ad has appeared on London gumtree.

Any update? Your colleague still in one piece pinching himself to make sure that he's not dreaming about having just procured the bargain of the century?

Some sort of scam i guess, i emailed them and they said they were out of the country and they would arrange shipping for the bike... but a while back a guy here posted about a stolen P3 similiar build, bike was robbed out the back of his jeep while rugby training or something
