good spot lumen, a seller on adverts said he bought it for 400euros, which i find very hard to believe,
selling it for 250, what the heck. any ideas where they sell this contraption. google doesn't even know

Santa is sexually assaulting the snowman!

Is that it?

EDIT: It looks like one of those Super Valu/Tesco bikes people seem to love putting their mothers on. Probably cost 100 euro. Awful!

No. It's the anti-euro reflectors on the wheels...

Obvious I know, but you did you ask the seller where they got it?

Lumen

Maybe this man knows.

Tehy're not selling for close to that...

see here and here

Not worth more than 50 quid in my view

i know i seen the other ads, so im confused as to where he is getting 400 euro for it, maybe the santa comes with it

Backwards forks aside, given the fact that Blast Ranger doesn't even have a website, I'd say it's safe to assume its a supermarket mountain bike.

The Blast Ranger's I bought were got about 5 years ago from Supervalue (not Dunnes Mockler, my mistake). They were €99 at the time. I bought a red one for myself and a black one for the missus.

It's an OK bike for casual use which is all we used them for but it's certainly not worth several hundred Euro.

Perhaps this is the Blast Ranger XXX SL Pro Race Edition, with backy fork for more responsive handling.

99 euros in dunnes hahaha, here that has so made my day.!!

it's more aero, like on all the best TT bikes:

this guy actually swears he bought it for 400, :rolleyes:
And he also asked me whats wrong with the forks,
Not even noticing he has them on the wrong way
he has since dropped the price to 150, what a bargain, nooooooot
I retract what i said, that this has made my day, it has made my year :cool:

I had one of those bikes too. 129 euro in Super Valu Killester in 2005.

langdang

That's class, he's on serious bath salts I'd say.
To infinity and beyond!

this dude is worse than a fred, he is still going strong,
god loves a tryer, but you have to know when the game is up

Just asked SWMBO about the 'bike shop near the friary' in Ennis (she's a local) - it is there, though apparently it's definitely more of a bike-shaped-object shop. Some joke.

RobFowl

I read that adverts thread (feckin insomnia !)

I do feel sorry for that deluded Gobsh1te

Mockler at this stage you've won on the 3 knock-down rule, it'd be cruel to go on (but don't stop )

SubLuminal

the guy MUST be having a laugh, surely its one of us taking the pi**?

it's gotta be, no?

Anyway, gave me a good laugh to start my morning with, thanks lads

funkyjebus

brilliant. bold face lying - you have to respect the dedication he has shown on some level.

DirkVoodoo

I think you can say you have done enough Mockler. It annoys me when people try and rip folk off like that but I think you should just report it to the adverts chaps and move on.

Good find though.

Have you tried the Student Cycles dude mockler? He selling loads of top quality bikes, built to a top standard?

Thank **** my santa had better elves than that, dam foreigners taking all the jobs
