I asked this seller to clarify his ad title claiming 'Horst Link' for this 5-Spot. If you look at the pics, you can clearly see it is TNT. He first responded saying it isnt Horst Link, then went on to post the ridiculousness below.......Enjoy!

'After talking to Lj Miller, International Sales Manager at Turner. Lj stated that a Hoist link will have a pivot just above the rear dropout (see picture) and the DW-Link rear end will be solid-attaching to black pivot plates. As a seller with 100% feed back I'm confirming this frame is a HOIST LINK and all other naysayers will ride tawdry suspension frames in purgatory.

That is some funny $&*!

 

[lidarman]

The seller is right, it's not a Horst Link, It's a "hoist" link.

A Hoist link is not a Horst Link.

I loved that! I need more good morning humor to go with my coffee.

He can confirm that it's an imaginary suspension type all he wants, but if some sucker buys this frame thinking it's a Horst link and then finds out his not this guys 100% positive feedback rating is going to go to sh!t.

Another misleading statement: 'Please disregard the Questions and answers about this item below regarding HOST LINK.'

Uh, the questions are legit dude. It's amazing that he spells the world incorrectly two different ways (hoist and host), and they're both non-existent suspension types. Maybe English isn't the sellers first language? :skep:

I saw that last night and it gave me a good chuckle.

How about this one? Is it just an old school Turner?

You guys are killing me with this stuff! Now I have coffee dripping out my nose. Oh well. Off to St. George.

 

[ddraewwg]

He may be completely ignorant but it's still a good deal. Doesn't seem to be a scam.

 

[SilverSpot]

Yeah, well he corrected his post - now reads as TNT link...

If someone buys that frame thinking it's a HL, they know absolutely nothing about Turner frames, especially after seeing the chainstays

Regardless, it is a nice bike, hopefully not a scam. Maybe it's his wifes bike & he does not ride

 

[esquire]

Wtf?

Ok, my question is, why post the questions for everyone to read? I mean, I can see posting one, to correct the info, but he posted about 5 of them all saying the same thing... He does have the option to not show those questions or answers, what a maroon.

8 now, but why stop there?

 

[RiceKilla]

Either way at 675, if it stays at that, is not a bad price at all.

 

[tops5]

Thats nothing - there was on Ebay UK recently sporting a "horse link" !

 

[turnerbikes]

Like NEW

Horst link or not, that thing looks brand new and is a beauty.

The other post about an EBay RFX is actually an XC or XCE, not bad, but certainly not the totally gnar core RFX.

"Hoist Link" has gotten him 908 extra views here on MTBR. Maybe I should start putting ridiculous typos in my ebay listings...

I tried to tell the seller nicely his RFX was a 98-99 XCE, but he assured me that Turner said it was an RFX when he contacted them/you...

Anyway its unlikely to get a bid at that price...

 

[Buzz]

All that attention, and not a single bid! It didnt sell......

 

[qbert2000]

sh!t the market has really dropped. 675 for what looks like an almost new frame with a pushed shock is a steal compared to just a year ago. that was a nice bike.

 

[scruffylooking]

Yeah, no kidding. Some killer deals to be had these days. I picked up an 06 for $450 (no shock) and I thought that was good. In light of this it was just ok.
