50 dorrah?

I'd take the frame if you split.

There are some decent parts on there, I think you'd get a better price if you a) split it out and b) took some decent photographs- the ones you've posted aren't selling it right now, and it's hard to actually make out much in the way of detail.

Sorry won't split as prefer to sell as whole.

Well, in that case I really think that some good quality photographs will help you get as close as possible to your target selling price.

Listing the components would probably help, also.

Ok, thanks. Will try and take some more photos tomorrow to post online.

now now JB.. dont be so mean. but to be fair you are never going to sell it for that money. ever. what maintanence and upgrades cost you 400 pound?

From what i understand the wheels were upgraded at £200, a bit of labour and some other bits and bobs.

Christ, £1350. Fuck me.

£500, tops.......

No offence

Actually just seen made a mistake - £1385.

Unless you split there is absolutely noooo way you'll get anywhere near your asking price mon frere.

Hipster tax. Lots of hipster tax.

Did you really spend 1785 on this?!

To be fair, BLB have got some fucking balls.
What's the tubing? 531?
Frame TOPS £300. Wheelset, £150, the rest... Hipster tax.

Seen you coming they have #Yoda

this.

Come on, lets be nice- attacking the new guy is bad manners.

And it's been done too many times I think.

Sorry no idea re tubing.

Barely used and in near new condition.

No shit. Saw you coming a mile off.

Split it, buy a spanner from Wickes (you don't need to pay BLB for maintenance) take it apart and put the bits on here.
You'll sell it all easily, and get closer to what you paid.
Still nowhere near mind, but closer.

631 tubing. Looks basically a standard Vigorelli apart from the Paul track end option and the seat tube indent. Although if the indent was in conjunction with shorter chainstays that would also have invoked the custom geometry charge.

Yeah, it's not really cool. It's not his fault, BLB have fucked him - my beef is with them.

Ed's was a nice build, for example:

Although I've never been a fan of that stem, but that's just personal taste.

Similar level of components on Ed's, also.
