I just wanted to get a few opinions on this as it is the first time I've sold a bike in London and I'm not sure what people expect.
I'm about to stick it on eBay or Gumtree for collecton only with the idea that potential buyers can come round and look at the bike and check it's the right size etc and I was wondering what the concensus is on test rides?
I don't want to appear too hostile to buyers but I live in Hackney and I'm not stupid. The Stolen Bikes thread and Brick Lane have made me pretty aware of what people are capable of. So do I refuse a test ride? Ask for the guys wallet and ID like some shops do?
Opinions please.
