So I maybe getting one of these

for £50 I would assume it's broken or stolen.

Not the way im looking at it, thats £50 with atleast £100 profit.

If you are paying someone ONLY £50 for it, then I would immediately assume it is too good to be true and therefore broken or stolen. That frameset and bits must be worth more than £50.. unless you know the seller.

Im sure somewhere on page one i had said that the seller was my mates dad. He apparently bought it for a grand a year ago, but because he has a newer one he didnt need this trek.

I dont know how much its actually worth now, depreciation and age, reason why i opened this thread but after 3 pages I still haven't had a reply.
No wonder this forums 'going down hill'

i would buy a 531 old school steel frame, not that ali with vertical d'outs. what is your inside leg measurment ?

get over myself? this has been done to 2 out of 2 threads ive posted. everything i say you reply " you aint street", you serious?

All i wanted was a straight forward answer to a question lads, but all i get is doyles dicking some ass.

STFU, your username sucks, get over yourself
oh and btw - at your 'home made tensioners' they look great, i cant wait to see them in action, make sure to post a video of the first time you fail cough i mean ride with them :)

Sounds suspect. Don't know why "your mate's dad" is bothering. He should either sell it for what it's worth or just give it away. £50 just sounds nicked.

ahhh a good old friendly forum welcome being extended, gotta love it.

Chain tug = chain tensioner? Good luck with those vertical dropouts, and +1 on the posting videos of the first ride, that's £250 in the bank from that fat bird. Or Robbie Williams' gay mate, I don't watch much tv, dunno who's show it is these days.

Well. It looks pretty well worn, not particularly well looked after, can't see the state of the wheels at all, so it's really not that easy to judge the value, is it?

And if you are paying £50 and picking it up next week anyway, what's the point of asking in the first place?

But I'm sure you've got a lovely bargain, worth much more than that. Well done.
Happy to help.

I am one of the reasons this forum's 'going down hill'

Riiiight.
If it's going to cost you £50 then buy it. It's a bargain.
If you want to check market value look at framesets sold on ebay.

By the way, knob cheese, illy was the first response to your thread with an estimate. Can you not read or did you just choose to ignore his post?

i disappear into the polo threads for a few months and you boys all get tetch like.

Motherfucker! Keep him here!

You muddafugger you!

I think he said he wanted a geared road bike so the vertical dropouts would be ok.
Theres a guy at my work with one of those and he says its great, can't comment on value for money though.
Certainly looks a bargain.

I did read his reply, but he quoted me for just the frame set.

Well cheers for all the replies back then.

heh.

shuffled the bike back out for £400. who aint street?

You, it says so in your name.

He's talkin' to you, though, Andy.

World's most pointless thread

I'm an ethnic minority, does this not make me street? I also own an anorak with a hood.

(Racist)

You 'hussled' your mate's dad. Well done.

World's most pointless thread

Actually, thinking back at it, there was a point to the thread because i was asking you doyles how much it was actually worth.

I wish one could spell a little better. the word "hussled" is meant to be spelt "hustled"

Personally I would not crow about the fact that I had purchased something from a friends father for (one can only presume) extremely favourable pricing and then sold it on for a massive profit.

It speaks of a lack of ethics.

But why are you bothered about how much its worth? If you like it and want to ride it who gives a monkey?

If you don't want to ride it and aim to rip someone off/sell on then, so far as I am concerned, why the hell are you asking on the forum?

'Aint'?

Are you also familiar with the pejorative term: 'weapon'?
How about: 'lengths'?
