Steel single speed courier style bike

Don't be scared, to be honest the first thing I thought when I saw the thread title was that is was some gumtree shit trying to sell a stolen bike or a unipack, it's a description I see all the time. I think if Kingcutter had worded his OP a little better he probably wouldn't have got so much stick, however I'm guessing he sold it on the CTC forum so its not an issue now.

If you have something to sell, I think as long as you describe it properly people will either buy it, or ignore it if they're not interested..

I think the mistake was putting it in thefor sale first place lol but it is steel and single speed and i am sure i have seen those type of bars on a courier bike.

'Courier' is just a job description, they have all different types of bar.

kingcutter pink velocitys would have gone well with the bartape on that bike you just sold,you should have kept it

You cheeky Monkey that was specialized bar tape 10 quid a wrap,anyway the frame was 500 and I wanted 531,just bought a Dave Lloyd but I think i will think twice before putting a scan in bike porn. lol

It's not a real job though to be fair a bit like my bike.

put down that spade and walk away from the hole!

na, jump in

holy shit are you just trying to piss everyone off???

I did not start the insults i just tried to sell a bike i did not realise how small minded some people can be does not help new forum members in any way so people new to the single speed scene would not stick around in my opinion,i would have prefered some helpfull advice instead of the name calling,
I can give as good as I get though so let the mayhem begin gloves are off.

Ah here mate, this forum is somewhere you can get a lot of helpful advice and encouragement... everyone's just having a laugh, there is a lot of jibing and slagging on here alright but if you take it with a pinch of salt you'll soon get into the swing of it, first post I ever made was a huge error, my own bike in Bike Porn...took plenty of flak for that one but if you're good humoured and just brush it off and join in the fun without being malicious you'll end up coming away from it with plenty of useful info and a few good laughs so the best thing you could do is retract the nasty comments re: couriers and take the hazing you'll be grand...the reason you got so much abuse is that a lot of people try to sell stolen bikes on Gumtree and the like with vague descriptions unfortunately almost identical to your op...noone's really trying to give you a hard time though.. it's just kind of funny..anyways if you're going to have a laugh at it then welcome to the forum and if not you'll be in for much more abuse I'd imagine...

Good stuff mate, that's the spirit, glad to have you ;)

put down that spade and walk away from the hole!

:))))

are you gonna tag it " stunning, fixie, with great components, unmissable deal, courier messenger bike " ?

the reason you got so much abuse is that a lot of people try to sell stolen bikes on Gumtree and the like with vague descriptions unfortunately almost identical to your op

Nahguavkire has a very good point you probably didn't think about KINGCUTTER. Your description really did smack with "Stolen Bike" language. So the knee jerk piss takes are quite understandable. Another lesson learned. I took part in the beginning, but I have to say you have taken quite a flogging over nothing really.

The guy tried to sell his bike and was a bit naieve in his description, a little fun is one thing but no need to tear him a new A-hole for it.

Everybody breath.....

To be fair pal, based on your grammar to date, I doubt it.

i hope that is a single speed and not a fixed on a quick release. its fine if your experiment and "getting into it" but not quite fair to include other people in your experiments and have them pay for it, and i am not talking the 150 pounds

brilliant Sunday reading
