For Sale: Fixed bike, medium size, light and quick

dogsballs . . . just the same as if i rocked up to polo, opened up my back of goodies and tried to peddlle my shit there. people would tell me to piss off!!

If I was interested in what you had to sell and I could afford it I would be interested.
If I was not interested, that's fine also, someone else might be pleased to get their hands on a bike/lever/tyre etc etc.

I don't quite see the need to tell people to piss off.

I am always keen on promoting and supporting this kind of grassroots / back of a pub / forum classifieds / car boot sales / friend of a friend type trading - the people who go into apoplexy when someone here offers brake levers or track frames are the same one's who complain about Evans™ being such a large dominant corporate bike behemoth sucking the soul out of cycling.

Yet every time we tell someone to piss off with their goods to ebay or don't come down to polo and show us what bike parts you have to get rid of we are encouraging exactly this kind of shift towards ebay/Evans/Wiggle etc.

I see it here all the time, people only too keen to speak on behalf of everyone here and tell people to not show us what they have to offer.
