Good evening folks,
I should really start of with an apology,
I can understand why some folk are a bit pissed off, in my ( very limited ) defence I have been unwell over the last couple of days , and have two small children with chickenpox, just as Virgin media shut down my internet connection…. happy new year.
This idea of a track frame auction has not gone well, which is all down to my own fault in not managing it very well.
I should have started a new thread for the frame and closed all other references to it on the forum, then folk could have seen a start and finish date and posted what they thought it was worth and every on could see how it was developing.
Having done the sums to look at what is needed to make each frame sale work in respect of converting it in to a new track bike there is an "upset value " of £ 245 for each frame which I think is just about on the upper limit of what folk may pay as they are sound but not in pristine condition by any means.
If there is an offer of that ( or more ) by midnight then I will accept it , if not I will re run the sale taking in to account all the very helpful suggestions forum members have given me.
Apologies again for the lack of clarity and inconvenience.
The current highest bid I have had by email is £ 175 please post any more here rather than by email .
Over to you !
regards Allister
