Vauxhall Corsa bike is on sale again

@MCamb I am potentially interested in it! Been speaking to the seller, it is Dedaccia steel tubing - which I know nothing about. Is it that much of a bargain? It is pure cross - no rack/guard mounts which makes it less versatile

That's a truly amazing bit of kit.

Dedaccia tubing is excellent, and has been used by Pinarello, Moser and plenty of other frame builders.

Oooh great! I finally know what I'll get as my first car.

£700 for a steel 26 inch mtb is a bit steep, even if it is an Indy Fab

Nearly happened!
Mate, now resident in South West France, had a stand at an exhibition in Toulouse the following Sunday. Timings just didn't quite work out.
Had made vague plans* to fly out to visit him and cycle it home.

*plans in this case pronounced; 'idle day-dreaming'.

agreed.

I am enjoying reading this guy's ad...just to exercise my brain!

I'd say dodgy.

Guy is selling a lot of bikes

Calls only on 07xxx or WhatsApp pick up only outside CR26JP suth Croydon

any issue with this fight is the back will the heart needs tightening put the bear is the kind of Lewis other than that the boss who were both in the world everything‘s original morning but the tires as he had race the tires on it before which I didn’t like so I put Hybrid guy is on it rather than that’s pretty large by don’t really want to get rid of the Apollo have no a stable

Attempted translation:

only issue with this bike is the back wheel, the hub (?) needs tightening up, the bearings are kind of loose, other than that the bottles ??????????. Everything's original ? but the tyres, as "he" had race tyres on it before which I didn't like, so I put hybrid tyres on it rather than that. Pretty large but ????????

I wonder if the seller is illiterate and dictates the ads into a phone, then has absolutely no ability to check that it's been transcribed properly? Because there's some weird homophone stuff going on (e.g. "Lewis" and "loose", "guy is" and "tyres", "will" and "wheel") and he says "calls only". Or maybe they're just mentally ill in some way (that's not me being flippant about mental illness)

With 4 days to go it will go up, what's it worth with all that kit too?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genesis-Longitude-Bikepacking-Bike-Medium-/273500741483

the kit isn't worth much at all really, topeak stuff is pretty crap
the bike, on the other hand, seems in good nick
