eBay and Craigslist finds

Nice looking mercier frame with a stuck seatpost for £30. Said they've only tried wd40 which wouldn't do much.

£180 or £200 inc helmet and a lock

Not sure if the price is a good deal, but found this 90s Look on FB Marketplace and it looks mint. Is in Ellon in NE Scotland though:

nice prommuter

Any idea what the deal is with buycycle.com?
I’ve seen a bike on there but it significantly increases the price with fees etc
Anyway to hunt down a bike?

Not specifically for this purpose but https://www.findthatbike.co.uk/ might help? It searches Gumtree and Ebay.

So... Did ya win? £303 is a bargain.

I did not!

If I didnt just buy that NOS Caadx I would have.

Alas! Good news about the Caadx, tho.

631 genesis equilibrium with 105 went for £200. Didn't post here as wanted my mate to win it. He did! He offered 345 for it whilst the auction was running, which got declined (and in arranging collection offered to still pay that) but the seller is happy with the 200 and the ebay lesson

that's mad, good on your mate.

Colnago C59 with Super Record, 56 for £800. Having a minor crisis trying to work out how to raise funds:

Tread carefully with that one, looks too good…

Why? I have zero knowledge of Colnago. Is it massively underpriced or something?

Overpriced I think

Lol tbf all colnagos look shit to me. Just wondered what’s so good about this one

Wouldn’t know if that’s a legit Colnago without seeing it in person, and great deals do occasionally happen, but the ad has a few red flags. The attractive components, the very attractive price, the remote location (makes it difficult for someone to want to collect), the very low but not ultra low price and an explanation about some minor damage to make a discount seem more plausible. I’ve seen several eBay sales following this pattern.

Oh I'm 15 mins away so no issue. But agree, seems too good to be true given it must be about double in parts but I don't have £800 to throw about!

For some bizarre reason, there seems to be a number of nice Colnagos that pop up in Aberdeenshire. I once flew up to buy an amazing condition C40 that was an absolute bargain (and see a friend at the same time).

The guy's profile seems pretty legit in fairness. I've notified a friend who lives just up the coast...
