so he bought it to keep as collectors item, yet changed the bar-tape and rode it around. then found out that he got ridiculed by everyone so he sold it.

... for the same price as they are brand new at Condor... still two in stock, go now before the rush...

You're not the only one :)

dogsballs is anyone actually bidding on this minged carbon frame? could be a nice polo bike, too big for me :(

That frame is bad, bad news. I wouldn't take it if this guy gave it to me for free.

dogsballs andyp at cavendish cycles has a black 60-62cm Iro frame with a crack in the bottom of the the headset tube for £100 inc forks. perfect for polo or if you're handy with welder.

Thanks for the heads-up - just bought it yesterday. Now - how to build it up? I am thinking risers and white deep Vs... unless I can save up and get myself arrospok.

To be honest I will not build it up until next year as (i) I need to get busy with the welder, and (ii) I am a broke student.

Looks like a good price, pick up only though.

Why do people pay more for stuff on eBay than they would if they just did a liitle searching on the net?
It's got me baffled.
After looking for a new chainring for my (old - granted, but not unobtainable) cranks, I have just seen someone pay nearly a tenner more for the same ring on ebay that I have just purchased from an online shop.

I know Google is a relatively unknown resource, but far canal...

what is: google? Oh, nevermind I'll just ask jeeves.

Dumb People use "Ebay = Cheap" as their online purchasing mantra.
It doesn't always work, especially when the item is something common.

A shameless bit of self promotion. But price isn't to bad with 2 hours (150) to go so I'd rather have one of you guys take it.

I met a brazilian courier - forgot his name, but he works for Pink i think? - who said he found his (track) frame in a skip...

I like to use froogle.co.uk before i buy something from shops...

Even regular Google searches with a product name and a target price can come up trumps.
I googled to find a black Specialized Decibel helmet for less that £70 and found Hargroves Cycles had them for £59.99.
Gave them a call and they said "actually we'll do it for £54.99". Then I get a call back 10 mins later saying sorry we messed up the last medium was sold, but would you like a 2D for £65 instead?"

WTF £67 for a Turbo - someone's got more money than sense
