Just imagine the price if 'Chopper' was mentioned

I don't understand listings like that. Who's actually going to pay up?

Raleigh Winner, £400

Looks tidy for what it is, but for an entry-level gas pipe road bike at least double what it's worth..?

I think it's potentially the same bike (with a few different bits) as my Router, which (admittedly with a rack) weights about 15kg, so yeah - I'd say you're probably spot on!

One of the few nice things about FB marketplace is that anyone's free to comment, and the seller is rightfully getting torn to shreds

£300 for a Royal Enfield 3-speed that's been attached to a rather ugly frame for some reason.
