Sorry Kevin, I PM'd Matt soon after this was advertised yesterday. I'll let you and Phest fight it out!

Where in the 'rules' is there anything about needing a dibs? PM always gets it
-
• #12
PM always gets it
Unless the OP says dibs, surely.
And, does PMing for a friend count?
Contentious issues.
What say you OP?

sorry guys i am new and don't even know what "dibs" stands for, even if i guess is a sort of way "booking"
I desperately need a bike, but i don't want to cause a diplomatic crisis, so i let you guys decide

hey phest - apologies, dublinkevin pm'd and made a firm offer while i was waiting on you to contact me (after snowy_again pm'd me to say he had a mate who might be interested).
i guess this is an unusual scenario but as i had no assurance that snowy's mate (you) would contact me i've gone ahead and sold the bike to the first firm bid via pm. -

In the unlikely event that this falls through for the people currently fighting this out - 3rd dibs

It's not a competition where the seller has to sell it to the person who dibs' first, it's a free market, the seller can sell to whoever he wants to, in this case the first serious offer.
It's quite possible if phest had offered £20 more the seller would have sold it to him instead.

phest, thanks for being cool about this. hope you find/have found a suitable bike.
pics later tonight as i'm at work.
I'm thinking £180 for this:
blb basic frame. cream, paint work ok but not awesome in places.
blb crankset, 165mm, white
kmc half link chain, gold. less than 500 miles use.
blb 18 tooth cog, pink
mid-deep silver wheels from se lager (rear is slightly out of true)
rear tyre - conti gatorskin hardshell. less than 300 miles use
front tyre - conti ultra sport
charge bullhorns w/charge grips
stem from se lager
goldfinger lever
tektro brake
charge spoon saddle. white-ish.
headset - cant remeber, cane creek i think.
bottom bracket - cant remember but it runs clean and smooth.
no pedals as these are such a personal choice anyway but i have some cheap flats you can have if you need to ride it home and dont have pedals.
collect from soho or ealing.
