Ebay's that way, sonny.

I've done that a fair bit. But thought I'd offer some stuff local. Buyers seem to be either from the US or Hackney.

Advice For New Members - Updated

Welcome to the LFGSS. It may not always seem like it but the forum is actually a friendly place full of kind and helpful people.

1. Use the Search function. Most technical questions will already have been asked and answered so use the search and then you can ask more specific questions.
   
2. Don't start by asking "What kind of fixed/single speed bike should I get?". See above.
   
3. NEVER make your first five posts the "I am only writing this to get to five posts" variety. You will be insulted and then banned.
   
4. Don't get upset if you get a bit of abuse. Take it as a joke, don't be defensive or offended.
   
5. Look at the Members List. It's not a good idea to get in to a fight with people who have been here a long time or who have the best reputation in your first weeks here.
   
6. Don't make your first posts an expression of your prejudices.
   
7. Be funny. If you can't be funny then at least don't take yourself too seriously. A bit of self-mockery will help you no end.
   
8. Be yourself. For example, I am a complete arse but other members know that and are quite accepting.
   
9. Try not to use the word 'Fixie'. It annoys some members, don't quite know why but it does so you may as well save yourself the grief.
   
10. Never take advice off an ageing courier.
    
11. Try and place your post in the most relevant section; so advice on particular makes or styles of frames, for example should go in bikes and bits rather than general. Questions about your love life should be sent directly to Hippy.

"3. NEVER make your first five posts the "I am only writing this to get to five posts" variety. You will be insulted and then banned."

I haven't insulted him/her yet. Are you proud mummy? :)

Looks like I've broken the rules already. Sorry. Will try and read the rules better. I've got a few complete bikes and a few frames for sale. When I work out how to do this properly and post pics and stuff I'll do it. Hoping some people may be interested - it's all quality. If I'm not kicked out by then that is.

Hmm.. you've apologised before the houds sunk their teeth in so you MIGHT just be safe..

I will accept a chinese burn or a dead arm.

wot - no wedgies, tsk…

you've still got time to make it right; just join in any of the other discussions going on tonight. people will probably be glad to buy your stuff but that isn't the raison d'etre of this forum; crude jokes and insults are. get stuck in.

you've been a good boy Hippy, You can sleep indoors now…

but not on the carpet.

That list has already been proved a fake, full of misinformation and lies but I refer you to entry #3..
"3. Some may make their first five posts the "I am only writing this to get to five posts" variety. They will be insulted and then banned. And rightly so."

I should add "unless they apologise quickly" to that one.

I will bring an apple next time. I met a bloke last weekend who had 40 bikes. Spare me the cane and I'll tell all about his garage

Tell us the address of his garage and I'll give you a back rub.
