Price - £350 including delivery UK mainland, or can be collected - now reduced to £260. - SOLD

Delivery queries, now clarified.

lovely....

Any chance i can come and see this? Where are you based?

this is very nice.

^ near Banbury

been in contact with several interested parties and it appears that £350 is not conducive to a sale; taken on board so therefore - £260.

By any chance was this the Romany that slimboy fat was it, who had a massive clear out a month a go or so...that he kindly sold for £150?

I was interested in this bike, obviously from the original guy at the bargain price. I'm still interested, though to be honest I get pretty annoyed when people take advantage of bargain prices with the sole intention of making a profit. Someone could have had the bike, who actually wanted it to ride, like me.

Rant over. I am probably mistaken, it probably is not the same bike. Looks the same though. I guess I am just bitter that I never got it for £150 myself.

Is this still up for sale?
Best regards

Hi OTO, yes it is
