  • pics later tonight as i'm at work.

    I'm thinking £180 for this:

    blb basic frame. cream, paint work ok but not awesome in places.
    blb crankset, 165mm, white
    kmc half link chain, gold. less than 500 miles use.
    blb 18 tooth cog, pink
    mid-deep silver wheels from se lager (rear is slightly out of true)
    rear tyre - conti gatorskin hardshell. less than 300 miles use
    front tyre - conti ultra sport
    charge bullhorns w/charge grips
    stem from se lager
    goldfinger lever
    tektro brake
    charge spoon saddle. white-ish.
    headset - cant remeber, cane creek i think.
    bottom bracket - cant remember but it runs clean and smooth.

    no pedals as these are such a personal choice anyway but i have some cheap flats you can have if you need to ride it home and dont have pedals.

    collect from soho or ealing.

  • sounds interesting - pics?

  • likewise, would be good to take a look

  • yup. will post pics as soon i get home tonight.
    was in a hurry to get this posted up as i now have the too many bikes in hallway scenario and one needs to go - premature dissemination.

  • yes i am also very interested

  • Dibs. Dont need pic. PM coming.

  • Matt - Phest is my friend that I emailed you about...
    ta

    snowy

  • Thanks snowy

    yes matt i can collect tomorrow from soho otherwise next week as i am off to the waveform festival for the weekend.... going to need pedals

  • Hey, I dibs and PM'd first, obey the rules.

  • Sorry Kevin, I PM'd Matt soon after this was advertised yesterday. I'll let you and Phest fight it out!

  • Where in the 'rules' is there anything about needing a dibs? PM always gets it

  • PM always gets it

    Unless the OP says dibs, surely.

    And, does PMing for a friend count?

    Contentious issues.

    What say you OP?

  • sorry guys i am new and don't even know what "dibs" stands for, even if i guess is a sort of way "booking"

    I desperately need a bike, but i don't want to cause a diplomatic crisis, so i let you guys decide

  • hey phest - apologies, dublinkevin pm'd and made a firm offer while i was waiting on you to contact me (after snowy_again pm'd me to say he had a mate who might be interested).
    i guess this is an unusual scenario but as i had no assurance that snowy's mate (you) would contact me i've gone ahead and sold the bike to the first firm bid via pm.

  • In the unlikely event that this falls through for the people currently fighting this out - 3rd dibs

  • I'm liking Plyyco's tactics!

  • ok then, next time I'll know what to do.

    dublinkevin, enjoy your new bike!

  • Still want to see the photo though..

  • ok then, next time I'll know what to do.

    dublinkevin, enjoy your new bike!

    What a gent!

    Dibs and PM phest, you have to move quick in this game.

    Congrats Kev, can't wait to see this.

  • hey phest - apologies, dublinkevin pm'd and made a firm offer while i was waiting on you to contact me (after snowy_again pm'd me to say he had a mate who might be interested).

    And that's the important point. It's not a competition where the seller has to sell it to the person who dibs' first, it's a free market, the seller can sell to whoever he wants to, in this case the first serious offer.

    It's quite possible if phest had offered £20 more the seller would have sold it to him instead.

  • ok then, next time I'll know what to do.

    dublinkevin, enjoy your new bike!

    phest, thanks for being cool about this. hope you find/have found a suitable bike.
