Looks like good value that.

There's a set of what look like Marvic wheels in Holland too. Listed as CBR 600 F2 but look more like later model fit to me. I was tempted but the picks are naff and I've not had a response from the seller about disc fitment measurements. The rear has been in the gravel but the pics are too poor to see the damage.

That is one of the problems with eBay. I almost feel like it's a way to suck somone into an impulse decision with pictures like that, especially when contacted they don't reply or only give very brief and blunt answers to any questions when trying to sound out the seller. It's even harder if there is a language barrier as translation app's if used don't pick up slang, local dialect and abreviated words one may use. It's not unusual for a sentance when translated to come across as meaning something totally diffrent or misinterpreted. Then there are some English words that simply don't exist in other languages so have to replaced with something else.

Lucky for us with English being the International language and most Europeans beng well educated it's not unusual for them to speak and undersatnd English as a second language. The better companies will even employ a UK member of staff to deal with us. I had one recently with a company in Germany. The guy I was dealling with initially was English and living over there. I then got passed onto another member of staff and comunications broke down, got frustrated and fed up so went with a UK distibuter instead.

Looks nice. I've got a non-reservoir one on mine and it seems to work well.
