Does the fact that it was an ABSOLUTE steal when I bought it justify the price in any way? No?
Well, I have also added new tires, saddle, bartape, brake pads and had the bike serviced, which cost me roughly £70 - so adding a extra £40 seemed reasonable, especially considering it is certainly a rare and beautiful bike that is 30years+ - I just assumed that in terms of depreciation I was pretty well covered.
I think it is a fair price. Feel free to disagree. Thanks.
