Someone pi@@ed was operating my Ebay on Friday...what have I

[legrandefromage]

The administrator who was charged with closing down the company I worked at came in one morning and said 'I was drunk and bought a Mercedes S500 off ebay last night, who wants to buy my 560SEL?'

I went home that evening with a Mercedes 560SEL

True story

Comes with a free puller too! Bonus

Looks top-notch, apart from its current state...I wonder why the puller was left to rot in the crank, mechanic has lost interest in the process or is it DOOMED :shock: :facepalm: ?

Re:

It looks similar to a bonded aluminum Mongoose IBOC frame my friend bought last year.

Re:

Pissed buying isnt always a bad thing, I've had a few 'last night I was drunk' threads....

basically, you shouldnt unless previous to bidding you were sober and know what it is and just want it.

You bought a mid to late 90's Muddy fox monarch, either sorcerer, pro or ultra.

I have an ultra in the shed, tange ultimate tubing in a nice petrol colour .... it was a lot cheaper..... sorry.

Re:

oh well, it doesn't sound a complete stinker then, unless as was pointed out the dropout really is sha@@ed, which it probably is!
Lesson learned (for now) but I've had my fair share of bargains in the bike and 'vintage lamp' worlds over the years.
Cheers everyone!

Rear dropout can be built up with weld easily enough.
