Pricing is bold for a found bike

You built this for your grandad? A 90s MTB with a single chainring and a pizza rack?

Wasn’t found like it is… was found like this

Not my grandad my partners, who lives in Clacton. Where its flat.. also front mechs are stupid.. not sure what the issue with a pizza rack is though.

hey now! it’s a bargain compared to the £550 being asked on eBay, previously : )

Bro it's not 2022 anymore.

No one is going to pay that money for an old mtb.

Exactly:)

Its 2024.. where people pay 3k upwards for a 105 road bike

Ahhh in that case it's a bargain!

Thanks darling, i’ll take that as a badge of honour to walk around with my chest puffed out and let the masses know sacredhart(some person on the internet) said my bike was a bargain

I think your pricing might be a tad optimistic on this one tbh...

The whole point of selling anything is to be optimistic and get the most put of it. The valuation isn’t exactly ludicrous considering the whole bike was replaced barring the headset (something the gatekeepers on this site seem to not take into account)I tried to be fair with the pricing a long with leaving the door open to offers which obviously anyone looking at it with serious intent would be making anyway.

Can’t believe the paint matched stem is gone :’(

PRO talon saddle

Read it again

Yeah me too! I was desperate to keep it.

The criticism, if you can call it that, of the asking price has been very gentle. Back in my day...

OP would be well advised to take it on board, not take offence. I seem to remember a Kona Explosif dripping in hope and salsa and surly and CK being offered for 550? recently.. for perspective

400 notes, actual lol

I’ve used this site for years i know what its like.
People criticise all the time without any intention of criticising. As they think they’re ‘cool’ for gatekeeping on classifieds.

As far as that bike going for that price am i to go through all the bikes sold recently to then get a price for the bike i’m selling? No ones gonna do that. As i said before i out it at a price that i thought was okay. Given a single speed 6KU is £399 new in todays bike world.
And as it says, make an offer. Not one bike on here gets sold for the price its listed at cos everyone likes to beat the price down anyway.

And as it says, make an offer.

£3.50 and a packet of pickled onion monster munch.

Make it a grab bag flaming hot and its all yours :)

This

If i bullshitted and didn’t tell anyone, would there be this much gatekeeping? I don’t think so…
I’ll lower the price and see if that stops the bitching

Price drop £350:)

What's your definition of gatekeeping?

Unfortunately, the reality is that unless it's a very special build, bikes are never worth the sum of their parts. Sorry to say, but you may struggle to get £200 for this.
