I know what you mean. Probably 30% of the bikes I agree to buy from FB and Gumtree the seller pulls out or the price miraculously shoots up after we have agreed a deal.
But not today !
I didnt think it was going to happen to be honest. I messaged the seller this afternoon and nothing. Tried calling and again nothing. Then on my way home from work, in the opposite direction of course, I got a message to say it was still cool to go collect.
So before you all hate me it was a bargain but it does have a few issues.
One of the rear cantis is not XTR. Who puts an odd canti on ?. The front shifter is missing it's cover which is annoying as I've already got a set with a broken left cover. The wheels are complete trash as I expected. The USE seatpost has been cut down but not stupidly short.
However from a very quick once over I've got XTR M900 cranks minus the granny ring, brake/shifters, both derailleurs and front cantis. Plus the frame appears to be crack free but I need to have a decent look and it even has a bonus pair of XT pedals.
So all in all super happy with it for the price. I will post some pics up tomorrow if people want to see what it's like.
