Retrobike classifieds.
There's sooo much about that forum that gets my piss on a light simmer but classifieds gets it on a proper rolling boil.
There's a thread that's like one post of stuff then, seriously, like 15 pages of "bump".
Then one that caught my eye recently. Like many sellers on retrobike, he couldn't be fucked with photos, but this guy took it one step further and couldn't even be bothered listing what he had for sale, just a general outline of "Niner straight steerer forks, Thomson stems, Middleburn UNO chainsets, carbon bars, 26” crane creek WAM wheels, Campag record hubbed 26 wheels, 29 SS wheels, 29er tyres, Paul SS road hubs but with the longer axle and spacers so you could fit them to a MTB, old not bling disc brake sets, KCNC VB1 brakes and levers, Sunn BMIX bike (nice) and lots more, obviously nothin geary...."
Stupidly I thought low effort in the thread might mean low prices so I asked about the niner fork and middleburn cranks, specifically asked about price. £200 for the Niner fork which seems optimistic to put it nicely and photos of the 'burns but no price.
How do these people expect to sell anything when they put in so little effort?
You also get warnings from mods if you call people out for selling stuff that's fucked or over-priced.
