For Sale: Freddie Grubb frame and forks, 56 c2t, 58 top

Oh please... If you don't want it, don't worry yourself about it. I am offering a frame which I have spent a lot of time tracing for what I think it is worth. If people don't think it's worth that, they will not buy it or offer what they think it's worth. I will give 5% of the sale to the forum. I really don't see there's a problem with that.

That you don't see the problem might be the problem :) Presuming you spent time researching the frame because you were curious/enjoyed doing so, so it seems a bit mercenary to use that as the basis for asking significantly more for the frame than you paid for it.

A lot of us see the forum as something of a community and blatant profiteering just isn't very communal like. You are of course entitled to see the world quite differently, with the Tories where they are in the polls the time might be ripe for a Thatcher revival, so hey you may just be at the cutting edge :)
