A fair price is ___?

Mirius (wool brain avatar) WTF??

I'd sell it the shop. You sound like a spoilt brat.

I agree, just don't*** tar ***all of us with the same brush......

company sponsored relocation costs him nothing.

If my friend went online to have a whinge about the fact I wanted some cash for a frame then I'd quickly tell them to get royally fucked.

I don't think you are coming out of this very well Tarboy- if the chap is your friend then you should respect the price that he is asking.

You will have the advantage that should it snap etc I would assume your friendship strong enough that he would assist with repair costs.

Seeming to insist that he makes a considerable loss on the frame and fork just before moving country seems not to be the actions of a friend- more like someone trying to take advantage of anothers situation.

Tarboy, you must have the thickest skin in the southern hemisphere.

If I was your friend I'd move countries too.

Why dont you pay him what he's asked and shut up about it?

...Or just shut up about it?

Jesus, I missed this one.

Tarboy - you are a selfish, ungracious cry baby who seems to think the world owes you something. As others have said, if I were your mate I'd tell you to get fucked and not sell you the frame. WAC.

£500 for a twin down tube ti Colnago is a fair price. They are quite rare but not as rare as the early carbon twin down tube frames which command much higher prices. This one went on US Ebay recently for £465;

but.... they shared slipstreams.

Is that a euphemism?

Well well well there we go. Confirmation at last. Look at this example posted by andyp. Only 465 pounds and in virtually perfect condition. This one I'm looking at has some marks around the cranksprocket on the stay and seat post tubes.
and the seller in reality only gets to walk away with 400

I'd stump up 550+shipping right now if nhatt hadn't already dibs it.
He owes you absolutely nothing, i've shared many miles with many people but to expect them to slash the price of a desirable frame is just ridiculous. If i buy parts off friends i wouldn't dream of haggling, someone i don't know maybe.
You've gone behind his back in an attempt to get a bunch of strangers to help you beat his price down cos you can't afford it!.
Either pay up or fuck off, as you can see there are plenty of people in the world happy to pay more than 500.

If you cared enough about your bikes over the last decade surely you'd have something nicer and not need the colny.

A shit film or alloy wheels, or is slipstream a euphemism?

Is that a euphemism?

To Balki... Life is one huge euphemism

Do you give good life?

Can I feel your life?

To Balki... Life is one huge euphemism

I'd lay down my life for you...

I'd lay down my life for you...

Thats a bit extreme, dont you think? I'd be more than satisfied with a bit of slap and tickle.
