The OP just pasted links and vague info - why not just put the actual advert text (complete with sizes + prices) here in the classified section? Posting a new topic with no information is annoying for all users.
And regarding the rudeness: had a potential buyer posted a link to that £175 bike and asked for advice whether it was worth buying, I would have said the same as my original post. So why hold back? I know it was rude, but I'd rather help prevent anyone who reads this forum from (IMHO) wasting money.
I've spoken to Left is Right and he seems a nice bloke, and unfortunately for him has been held up as an example of how not to get started on the forum.
I may have bikes to sell soon - If I exhaust my circle of acquaintances then I may post here explaining how much they cost me and details of condition then invite offers. If I wanted arrospok-dorrar then I'd post on gumtree with a sale price and put a cheeky link in the Ebay / craigslist finds thread. I think no-one would object to that netiquette.
