eBay and Craigslist finds

did you win this bike? I was tempted but it went over the limit I set for myself.

no i didnt. i got a message from a forumite that he was intersted so i kept off it. in fact it turned out that he was thinking about converting the roberts to fixed so we ended up almost splitting it. Anyway the price though went above we agreed was probably reasonable for us. we missed out.

Or maybe leave it on the Roberts and ride that one instead? the Roberts is perfect (and it's a Roberts too, excellent frame).

or maybe i just like my mercian more. ed you might not get it but some people get attached to their frames and dont want to change them everytime they get paid. agreed though excellent frame it was not my size however.

I had a snipe on that as well, though it went a bit high. Probably not a bad price though.

yeah it wasnt that bad in the end although a bit borderline.
