A fair price is ___?

It's a titanium rare colnago.

500 is a deal. It's a steal.

500 wouldn't be a steal, that would just be nicking the frame and leaving 500 quid in its place. But definitely a good price.

Plural fail if the rumours are true.

Unverified. FACT!

fuck my life.

So anyway, whats this frame worth then?

How do you know what their collection arrangement is?

what size is it, generally not interested in vintage italian frames, but its made of magic metal

It doesn't matter.

If he's willing to ship it's mine.

Which means a 54 cm full carbon felt and an alloy orbea are up for grabs.

And a kidney.

prone to cracking. that's why you don't see many come up for sale.

I don't really know much about the value of these things but if you think it's an entry level welded frame then you shouldn't buy it.

You probably aren't passionate enough to spend the time and money to collect the parts neccesary to do the frame justice I reckon you'd be better off spending you budget on something a bit more standard like Taiwanese plastic... That's where my money would be headed tbh.

I've just found the following. Indulge me by looking on ebay.uk and search: #270437892705. Item is closed. Frame is the same. dont quite know what the 'master light' is about. But sold for just over 600 pounds minus ebay fees, final value deductions, PP fees and huge risk and effort as seller, leaves me paying the same as this seller would recieve for this frame in Europe!!! come on !!!!! see my point yet!!!
And the CRACKING brought up by MrSmyth is a damn good point! Titanium fatigues!!! I've heard that there is possibilty of cracking at the BB joints.

nhattattack

it will be to big and then you will give it to me

will save me the shipping costs

and will

that's just a bike

Taiwanese plastic SHMASTIC !! If I wasn't interested I would be kicking up this fuss with him. The buggers ripping me off with no regard to our personal relationship. I'm being treated like a customer. hes threatening to leave it behind in a consignment shop where he would get exactly the same value. So no special favours for a friend?? whats that all about?? I wouldn't do that! I would extend a 'small discount at least as a token of goodwill. Hows that for tight!

Its his. get over it.

and will

that's just a bike

and you're just a girl who can''t say no.

What do you mean collection arrangement?

54 cm full carbon felt up for grabs.

Is the Felt a Z35? F5C?

So the consensus is that 500 is a fair price if the frame is top notch but that it may or may not be liable to fatigue and either way the friend should/should not offer a discount and/or ship it to Nhatt and Balki may or may not be suffering from a loss of feeling in his groinal area.

To be fair, surely it is worth more money in South Africa than Europe due to the fact that it has to be more scarce?

Will, do you moonlight for Cliffs Notes?

Offer £300 for the frame and when you buy it just tease the fuckers on this site.........

Theres no classic bike culture here goodhead. We dont even have a local ebay here. Its all about specialised, giant, trek, felt, orbea, raleigh RC s**t. FGSS isn't a fad here! I drool at whats going overseas and the demand is hectic. I dream of getting my hands on C delta brakes...cant find locally. Not prepared to pay Pounds 100++ on ebay.

Will, do you moonlight for Cliffs Notes?

you know what diable, I secretly hope that my mate is jerking me around and that when we go out on the piss he digs me in the ribs and says that he was just teasing me and that I can have it for 300.

OR MAYBE HE"LL GIVE ME BOTH OF THEM FOR 500

there is a huge bike culture in capetown. it happens to be mostly a mountainbiking scene, but there are at least a few people who know what they're doing.
