Well how much is the frame worth or someone thats willing to buy, because ill take everything apart from frame and downlo can have cranks and levers ...

Bars too.
Maybe the F&F is worth 150-200
that would make the rest 300..
so lets say my bits are 100
that makes the rest 200

I sincerely hope this doesn't happen and it actually stays complete as it's a damn nice bike.
+1 it would be a real shame to split it.

I always think before i speak.
Point being that you were implying it should be split as nobody has £500 'lying around' but then saying you'll buy it for £450 when you have the money....then saying you'll buy it for £500 when you have the money.
Bendix already said there's no immediate rush and can wait until people get paid.
That means anybody else could also be in the position you'll be in and be able to buy it for £500 too.
Splitting is not only a shame, but also a hassle, as you have to deal with several people dicking around trying to get money knocked off individual parts and making excuses for not collecting things when they said they would instead of one.Think before you talk for others.
A hassle well worth it if your going to get another £150 out of it. Plus ive never had problems with people collecting things. Always on time or early :)

I would say the frame is worth at least £150 since its in great nick.
The chris king £60
the wheels £250
the bars and grips £50
The brooks £30
the rest will probably add up to another £100
But i agree that it would be nice if someone bought it and enjoyed riding it as it is.

• #42

PM'd.

Just a quick update as I've had quite a few messages in the last couple of days - someone's coming to see the bike on Sunday. If that person doesn't take it I'll get in touch with the people who've PMd and then I guess it's first come first served..
I've had a few offers of £500 since arranging that viewing so won't be taking offers of less than that, sorry.
cheers for all the interest.
