Everything always goes for more than its worth. People get carried awau bidding say £60 on a argos bike that costs £100 new. Then it gets rounded up to £90 with commission and tax.

You also have to spend bloody hours there. I recommend that if you see something you like on a viewing day, leave a comission bid (remembering massive fees to be added). Still, its almost always a bunch of shit there.

I can sell you my decathalon mtb for £110

its white, very small. Got manitou suspension, avid v-brakes. Deore gears, higher end Sugino cranks. Pretty nifty little bike.

Would probably be better with slick tyres, but the spare £40 would pay for those easily.

Sort you pictures if interested.

190mm headtube length.
1" threaded and yup... english BB.

It's a real decent frame with chrome ends and such, rides well too but I just don't need it anymore.

Go on Dan!

I hate threaded headsets, but would be willing to give one a bash if the headtube was what I want. 190mm is too measly for my ultra-sportif riding position though. sorry!

you have it dan, im supposed ot be getting rid of bikes not buying them,

i'm alsol supposed to be out on a cluib ride, not drinking beer.

buy my rollers, stick a tour dvd on, down a few bottles of dragon and you have it all.

**Exposure Joystick, Mk II, **used for about 18 months, still working well. See where you're going for only £80!!!!

Minoura rollers - RRP £150, used twice. Stay fit and raise your boredom threshold this winter for only £90!!!

Bump - these will be going on Ebay tomorrow night, so if anyone here is interested, get in touch soon.

Just texted a friend about the exposure joystick light. I'll let you know if they are interested.

Cool - it won't make ebay til next Thursday now, as I've been too lazy to get it sorted today. I'm going to do a run-time test on it soon, but I left it on today while I went out and after 6 hours it was still on (it reverts to 'emergency mode' at some point though) so I reckon it's pretty good still.

Anyone got a pair of flip flop wheels they'd like to sell?
Ideally a matching pair and ideally with a fixed/free hub but anything considered.

Anyone?

Pah if i was not purchasing a new guitar i would have that, ho hum..

Si, do you play in a band? I'd love to 'jam', with a bassist and maybe a guitarist, but I don't have a drum kit and I haven't played in about seven years, but I reckon I can still hold it down.

I don't think anyone has sold an anything as an individual on this forum. "Matching pair"? Wishful thinking?

a quid less than £600 for a second hand bike? are you actually serious?

Selling it on behalf of a friend, and yes, he is!

Hipster fashion innit! Londons that way I think >

That said, its a good looking bike!

Si, do you play in a band? I'd love to 'jam', with a bassist and maybe a guitarist, but I don't have a drum kit and I haven't played in about seven years, but I reckon I can still hold it down.

Sorry Dan completely missed this one!

A rare commodity, a drummer..

No not in a band, have been in a couple but i would rather 'jam' tbh, no commitments and it is much more fun making up random shizz =)

Studios hire them out so that aint a problem, and i reckon after 15 minutes you would settle back in to the groove =)

Bargain of the century my new one..totally a yes even if its payed on the drip.

When people dont know what they have, pounce!!
