It was posted on facebook "market place" in copenhagen for about 55 gbp, and i wrote to the guy only few hours after it was posted, but i was already nr 2 in line. He worte back later saying the other guy couldnt make it so it was mine if i wanted. Turns out his address was right up the street. Super cool/funny guy. mid early 40's, had bought it when he was young, didnt really ride anymore, didnt have a smartphone, only wanted cash, "yea i hear people are riding 29" wheels today!", i ended up buying all the bits except the wheels for another 55, full of xtr, raceface, and other exciting stuff i should be able to sell and get a lot of my money back. These are the kind of deals that make my hours of cruising classifieds worth it haha.
Oh yea and after i bought it, i threw a picture of it on my story. turns out my colleague was nr 1 in line, but had to go pick up a guitar he'd been looking at instead hah! so kinda sad, but also good.
Is the market place better than the "CYKLING: Sælges/købes/byttes" group? I sold a few things on there, but gosh was it hard work (same for DBA)... I don't remember buying anything though.
I should send you a shopping list!
I find the market place sometimes has hidden gems because people in all those cycling groups know what to take for their stuff, and also sometimes too much. Haha, hard work as in lots of people lowballing and stuff? I use it very often i gotta say, but as with everything you get used to it.
