Here’s a real 2015
Also how is the sticker on a matte frame and the pictures show gloss?
RUN!
^ this. Good spot, that.
The guy has found a legit Venge and taken a pic of the sticker on that.
Run away!
It is fake…don’t waste your time. As someone else noted, he found a real avenge serial number and posted it…it won’t be anywhere on that bike.
Never in the history of that model name did a Venge have a down tube shaped like that. 100% fake.
Not to mention the clearly different radius between the top & seat tube (full bike is huge radius, sticker pic is small an may actually be a Venge). Total bs scammer there.
Where is this scammer listing this bike?
Personally, I only buy on sites where you get some level of guarantee. Ebay, for example, has decent buyer protections.
No.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen a frame with a downtube shape like that “Venge”. The whole proportion of the tubes seems off. I wouldn’t even really trust it structurally.
Originally I was going to say, if you really like the look of that frame (I don’t…), but know it’s fake, try and get a good price. But with those sticker pics, the seller is definitively trying to scam you, so as others have said…run!
