Flite titanium rails ok?

[Soren]

I want to buy my first Flite and the sellers send me some "not so convincing" picture.
You think that the rails are ok, or are some bending and deformation?

Thanks!

Really hard to tell from the pics. In the bottom photo, they look lovely and straight, but in others they look squiffy... which could just be an optical illusion.

If you're a big fella (100+ kgs) then maybe walk away, but if you're a sprightly little sprinter, I wouldn't worry too much..

If he says they are ok, and you pay by paypal with fees (i.e. not a gift) then you are covered if his advert/description is misleading. So you should be able to return it if its not as good as it looks in the bottom pic.

How much is the seller asking? The re-issue 1990 Flite Titanium can be found on the german eBay for around £70 new.
If the seller is asking £50 or more, it might be more interesting to get a new one instead.

Well, no paypal in (my) the country side! I pay for closed box and hope for the better!

And the seller is asking for 12E.

At 12 euros its prolly worth a punt anyway. Just hope you have a flite bum.

Ask him to send you a picture or two with it removed from the seatpost. You'll definitely know then. After all €12 is €12 however you look at it.

Looks alright to me at 12 Euro isn't that about £8?
