It was a singlespeed MTB, a picture of which (new) I've put in the current projects thread. It would have been a good deal if the paint had been good and the bike not juddered or rattled. He didn't even clean it, in spite of saying in the description he would.
I paid £160 for it, and you can get them new for £250-ish. If I'd seen the condition it was in, I wouldn't have bid. What's worse was that I passed on a mint Sunn B-Mix for £170 because of this.
Was it a bargain? Not at this price - mainly because of the paint, but the cost of new parts have to be factored in too. Do I still want it? Not too sure now...
Good questions DMC.
