"Ultimate Single Speed". What, built around a touring frame that's not finished ? £525 ???
Polite advice: Split it if you want to get close to your money back, sell the bits at least 20% less than you paid. With the possible exception of the frame, you might have better luck back on ebay as clearly the person you bought it from did.
Re-write the ad so a: You can drop all the sales speak hyperbole. b: (You can lose all the bracketed sentences. Seriously, why ?) and c: You can count EXACTLY how many teeth the chain ring has.
"Here's the shoes you chose, I believe thay are size 10". Doesn't really work that does it ?
The bottom line always seems to be that to charge top whack for a custom built bike, to YOUR design, you're going to have to find a buyer who wanted their custom build EXACTLY the same.
You will wait a very very long time for this.
