• very well, once I get paypal sorted I'll donate - I assume you have to use paypal for donations, although i am glad Help the Aged don't apply the same pressure to donate as users of this site - I always thought donations where done of your own free will....

    Anyway this bike is a stunner.

  • You don't need paypal to donate, just a credit card

    This isn't the notice board at your local tesco, it's a community where people with some normal sense adds to the community, or at the very least learn about bikes from it, not just come here to profit

  • I agree to a point, however I have received a great deal of abuse from members of this site and its the first time I have sold anything - all completely unnecessary and not doing anything to add to my sense of community on the site.

    I think people donate to things as they see fit and should be left to decide for themselves the relevance of the cause - I am not saying I wont donate, I will once I handle some money.

    Some people have been helpful - cheers to them.

  • Seems like your sense of community is to try to shift a £20 carlton for £200, what have we done without you all this long?

    Seriously, you get your ad shown for 15000 users, that's quite a lot. You could donate a few quid and get lot less hassle, not that hard is it?

  • Hold up a second - that bike sold for £160 else where hassle free. £20????

    The reason I tried to list adverts without prices was because I did not know some of the bikes values - so I then listed with prices only to be told the stuff I was selling was worthless - to then sell it elsewhere for pretty much my original estimate....

    15000 users - thats pretty good does anybody know how many users log in each day?

    We passed another milestone today, the site is still growing (it's never stopped growing) but I don't have great records of the rate of growth because I pay so little attention to the numbers.
    

    The numbers are fascinating though... here are a few.

    Totals:

    • 1.45 million posts
    • 44 thousand threads
    • 17.5 thousand registered members
    • 11.5 thousand active members (logged in within the last 30 days)
    • 1 million pages indexed by Google
    • According to Alexa we're inside the top 50k websites that exist
    • According to Alexa we're the 3rd largest cycling forum in the world, and 13th largest cycling website in the world*

    Each month (avg):

    • 4.5 million pages viewed
    • 500 thousand visits from 250 thousand visitors
    • £500 in costs (mostly hosting)

    Each day (avg):

    • 17,000 > 18,000 visits
    • 900 concurrent people online most evenings
    • 2,235 new posts
    • 60 new threads
    • 25 new members
    • £11 in donations
    • 60 thousand pages indexed by Google
    • 15 thousand search results shown on Google
    • 2.5 thousands click-throughs from Google search results

    thjose numbers good enough for you [we shouldn't even have to be asking you to donate with that level of exposure for fucks sake]

    The issue is you're not just selling a few bits and bobs - you and highlandpro are doing multiple sellings and putting jack shit back into the forum

    Hilarystone does multiple sellings - it's his business. But he donates and has become the 'go-to' man for esoteric bits and bobs and more importantly advice on vintage gear

    You and highlandpro have both come on here with bollocks about finding stuff in your attics [check hpros listings from several months back]

    List away, but give something back and don't bullshit…

  • I am selling this for £300.00

    £250.00

    £235 - no lower

    Its a cracker

    Hold up a second - that bike sold for £160 else where hassle free.

    I am not desperate to sell this bike.

    ahem.

  • I was refering to a differnt bike to the one you list - the bike somebody offered £30 for on this site.

  • I can't speak for Highlandpro, but I have been clear and honest to everyone about the bikes, where they are from and my lack of knowledge concerning their value.

    I don't know why anybody said they where in a loft or my G'dads etc - hayho. But I never said that and you are wrong when you say that I did, but I can't really see the problem either bikes are bikes. I am not a dealer.

    highlandpro takes things too personally, but he was pestering me to donate and got annoyed because he was rudely told to donate for something I was selling through his account.

    I have sold very little through this site - but will donate as I have said.
