Flyte SRS-2 for $200, what ya think? Guy has no feedback so I'm thinking he can't be trusted but figured I'd ask what you guys would do.

could be.
https://search.ebay.com/Flyte-SRS-2_W...lyteQ20SRSQ2d2
The first link is a sale direct from Flyte. They only have size L & XL left on their website so I'd be curious where he got those small/mediums from. Maybe he bought theirs out. If it's legit I would definitely take a medium for that price. My SRS-3 is really too small.
I would buy from the first or ask the other guy for more info. Personally if he has five frames I'd want to see one pic with all five frames in it.

Just buy from the flyte link (listing in bold, if they have your size) others here have bought from that seller with good results.
Otherwise, establish communication with the seller and see if he speaks well constructed english (for a Us seller that is), and has prompt cohesive replys.
If all looks good insist on a tracking number and pay with pay pal through your BANK ACCOUNT, not a credit card. This way you can be insured up to 1000.00 against loss.

looks fine, my friend had a frame like that and he was about to sell it for 200 but built it up and sold for 1000 instead.

That's just the starting bid, I'm sure they're hoping it gets bid up some.

I emailed the guy a question earlier today. I'll give him a few days to answer. That closeup headtube shot looks a lil scuffy to me.

It may be a "Hocx" but it probably isn't a Hoax. Flyte was selling them through e-bay for about the same thing. Personally I find the geometry on the SRS-2 a little too weird for someone my size (6'2") but if you don't mind the MTB-seatpost-look and can get around the stem-fit issues I know it builds into a very light bike.

When it gets cold out I start to get the hocx on all my rides.
