• Facebook Marketplace, a wasteland of poorly maintained bikes with no sizes and no specifications. Prices are inflated but never tyres. But most of them come with a £5 cable lock included so that's good.

    I had to leave them all.

    So many ads that were basically, "I bought this carbon di2 uber bike and used it for one tt so now I've knocked £100 off the full rrp of it!".

    Aye, an there's nae fucking warranty and you want me to paypal gift ye the best part of £10k. Jog on.

    Walk into an lbs or even the local Evans with that kinda cash burning a hole in your pocket and you're gonna be treated like royalty.

    Then you try and sell something, list it at a fair price and all you get is folk offering you 30-50% of your asking price or getting pissy that you won't take their shite, base model Shimano road wheels in trade for your mtb cranks.
