Is this muppetry or vandalism?
Discussion
This really has been making the rounds in the last couple of days. Have you seen the other rigs they are selling? All of them have been messed about with. Even Orange aren't impressed!
I don't even understand half the stuff they have put on them, totally un-needed and borderline dangerous.

This is brilliant (or stupid) it has a chain on both sides and more spikey bits than a porcupine. With all the extra weight this bike probably creates it's own gravitational field!
English lessons also required...
"Hi am selling my commencal supreme downhill bike. The bike have two chain system but is not working that way, I only use it as single chain. Brakes are not working I think they need a oil an the green wheels need a little work spoke are loose but the black wheels are in good condition"

Muppetry or vandalism? Probably both.
I'm more worried about the fact that he/she is selling more than one bike of a similar type, and refers to each as "I'm selling my......"
Frankly hideous machines covered in random stickers, many of which are way out of context on a bicycle, and many broken parts. The seller doesn't really seem to know a great deal about any of the bikes either, so I would be very suspicious about the provenance of those bikes, and stay well clear.
FWIW, with my bikes, I can show you what amounts to a 'full service history' with receipts for everything from a replacement puncture repair kit to tyres and tubes, and even broken spokes. OCD I know, but I don't trust anyone selling a bike if they are at all vague about it's history, especially such an obviously specialist bike as in the OP.
