That is way too suspicious to be good. I wouldn't touch that. I guess I would rather not have a super cheap expensive bike than be scammed. Easy choice.

I just did a buy it now for something new that about 1/3 the regular price. It never showed up and contacts to the seller didn't happen. E-Bay refunded my money without much fuss. Really not any. Roger

It's been over a decade since I used Ebay, but I think it still works the same,are you sure that is the selling price and not the usual gimmick to start a bidding war?
I just cant' see a carbon ,24lb bike being sold for that price.

I agree, with over 1200 transactions the seller seems legit.
Paypal has your back too.
It's not my kind of bike, but seems a great deal for someone.

Origami's carbon folder is $899 with disk brakes. I think both deals are legit.

Origami says theirs is on backorder, hence the Allen would be a better buy....No waiting.
Thanks

Yes, we are on back order until about March 10th. We are taking orders now, but delivery is a few weeks out.
