For Sale: My courier bike for sale

i dont feel false accusations are apropriate.

dont be too too quick to judge people.

remember KINGCUTTER, we all thought he was a bike thief too

how about accurate ones then?

only joking, mate. i'm sure it's not stolen. after all, you do seem to know the bike and it's parts very well.

i think we need VB to add a sarcasm button on the posting box

i dont feel false accusations are apropriate.

you're right. they're not apropriate. It seems a lot of people on here are acting like fucking morons.

So....how much did you pay for it?
Which courier firm did you work for?

If you don't want accusations you need to be a bit more knowledgeable and a bit more willing to answer questions accurately.

cardiff cycle courier.

i dont think anyone here will know the name of a welsh courier firm.

saying that i've been wrong before

i only did it for about 3 months. getting caught up in uni work, so i stopped.

i'm not accusing you of stealing anything yet...but put yourself in other peoples shoes....would you buy a bike from someone who falsely lists the parts and then doesn't even know how much their own bike is worth but then won't say why they don't know?

anyway. im selling the bike as i dont need it anymore. and i have uni fees to pay by the end of jan.

well i guess no ones interested about this bike. is there anyone interested in a lo pro frame 54cm i have 650c forks and 650c wheel aswell.

i might be interested in the wheel.

specs?

its a 650c clincher. mailard hub, mailard qr, mavic open4cd rim, continental grand prix tyres

think i'll pass

did noone else see this?:

ok. well the bike will be priced at £300

...1 hour later

price is £250 posted

if posting it costs less, post my all means sunshine.

look. basically, i havent sold any bikes or bike parts before, so i dont really know much about second hand pricing. i just store them all.

this is the first time im selling my bike as i need to pay for uni fees as they are due the end of this month, and i currently dont have a job.

thus i have no clue on what price it should be until i got a little advice from eds. which it should be around £250-300 max.
so since i want to sell it asap as i need to pay the uni by the end of this month i thought ill price it at £250 posted.

Raleigh, you must understand that now OOL has left us, people are struggling to find a target to ridicule, demonise, belittle and wrongfully accuse.
It seems you came at the wrong time...

is this a real life courier bike?

aidan... youve been subbed mate.

I'll get your bag, strap your mallet up...enoughs enough. sorry

cardiff cycle courier.

How are they doing?

Is John still controlling?

well it varies, busy at times quite at others. i only do thursdays and sometimes fridays.

well the younger john yer he's at base most of the times. this bike i actually got from him as my bike got smashed to bits by a car and needed a replacement asap.

do you know luca rich and older john?

Yeah...

He tried to flog me a Claude Butler MTB that he'd put a 'full xt' groupset on to replace the Stumpjumper I'd had robbed.
Wasn't quite the same :)

Rich is top. Usually call him whenever I have a bike based query :)

I worked there for about a year, Luca had been there for a couple of months when I left for London.

I've never had to ride as hard in London as I did in Cardiff, 80 mile days were not unusual...

Do Ed, Pip and Pat still roll?
And how's the mutt?

this bike smells of bullshit, sry.
If its your bike you should at least provide some sort of providence.

Think what you like, I'm inclined to believe it's not..but then you have no idea who I am either.

If you knew and worked with the guys from CCC and the Bike Shed in Canton you wouldn't and it does kinda look like a bike Rich would put together out of loads of bits from 'Somewhere in the Welsh Valleys'. They work with a cycling and parts gene-pool which is pretty shallow. Having experience of similar looking builds, this to me looks kosher(and all they ever do to convert to single speed is throw a gusset kit on a pair of 105's that they usually have in house). It's what they did on my first ss build.

Anyway, I think this is genuine.
And I know that's gonna mean fuck all.
