Offered: Fundraiser Raffle: 853 NJS Makino - Raise £250 for the Forum - Ex Matt Crampton

2nd dibs

It's sat on my mantelpiece for now until I decide what to do with it.

I need to give it a measure tonight to see if it will fit, probably different geo but it's 2cm (ST) smaller than my Bob Jackson, if it does I'll have to scavenge parts of the BJ to ride it (possibly using the Makino as a summer frame & BJ as winter). If it doesn't fit I'll probably sell it on so someone else gets to use it & put the money towards a flashy new road frame.

Why do you suddenly have two frames? Is there something we should know? ;)

its three, look closer.

it's six

look closer

Ouch.

Let's Push Things Forward and get this built, Geezers Need Excitement.

LPTFGNE?

(Trying to work out the code here.)

Don't Mug Yourself

Such nice paint on that bike.

Right - after a lot of umm-ing and ahh-ing I've decided that this is just slightly too small so am going to sell it & let someone else enjoy it rather than it just being wasted on my mantle piece.

I'll contact Tenderloin & Schnitter first on the off chance they were serious dibs then will open it up to everyone else.

Is either of them the guy with locks who works at Tokyo Fixie Skidders? According to Pisstoffski he's gaggin for that frame.

do another raffle.

@Skully - do you know his forum name? I've only been to TFG a couple of times so don't know him...

Nope, sorry. Just ring Tokyo Fixed! He'd thank you for it, from what James said.

His name is Bobby.

It'll fit me perfect. And I'll ride the shit out of it.

Serious dibs. I'll pay you what you paid plus £10 for your trouble.. Forum spirit.

Haha. £21. Jokez.

@iamnotarobot I just bumped into Bobby, if you want his phone no pm me. He's keen. But not on this forum.

It's a bit off being lucky enough to win it for £11 and then sell it on for a profit.

Spirit would be to pass the fortune you gained on to the next person.

re-auction

If you win a porsche in a raffle that cost £11, would you sell it to me for £11? Fucking stupid comment.

@Skinny - lol no.

I can see the reasons you would say that, but market value has very little to do with what the seller paid for something.

I suppose the "forum spirit" could be worked by doing another raffle, but I'd rather not as it seemed like a pain chasing up payments.

@Skully I'll PM you

No it isn't.

Good job everybody's realised that there's no way skinny could have been being ironic.

Ooooh irony fail on my part if so.
