  • That was a proper bargain indeed. I found an authentic grandis track frame on leboncoin yesterday for 50(!)€. I offered the seller a houndred if she would post it. She said she would consider it but gave it to someone who picked it up in the end :( I guess you can't always get what you want.

  • haha... there's the exact reason why so many people on bikeradar have the signature line that says "my worst nightmare is dying and my wife selling my bikes for what I told her I paid for them"... Either way my days of hunting bargains on leboncoin and trying to persuade probably jilted and definitely paranoid French women to post vintage treasure are long gone, maybe happens one time in a hundred and after much cajoling to believe you're not trying to scam them.

  • ha, word! I had that quote in the back of my head when i saw the advert. True, it's not that easy to get people to ship but at the end of the day at least it helps me brush up on my french.
