• Reluctantly selling my beautiful fixed gear BLB Custom. I bought for £1250 about 6months ago but a month after purchasing I moved 5 minutes away from my place of work so the bike has since been sitting underneath my stairs at home, so is therefore in immaculate like new condition.

    I plan to start cycling again properly when the weather picks up but want to do so on a geared bike so have decided to sell this to contribute.

    I don't have the spec sheet I compiled when I purchased the bike but I can tell you its a 55" Black Leader 725 Frame with Carbon Leader Forks. I have a yellow rear Aerospoke, majority of the components are In-House BLB spec.

    Please get in touch if you are interested and have any questions. Not really sure what to even suggest as a price so im accepting offers :)

  • Hi,

    House rules require you to name a price...

  • Oh sorry I didn't know that... I really don't know what would be realistic, the guy at BLB thought I should be able to get around £1000 but not sure I would so would say £900 o.n.o

  • Oh. Dear.

    interesting, i'm either having a deja vu here or you are just trying again with the same text you used last time..

  • you will be lucky to get 5OO

  • BLB build it? Strange choice of components for a track frame.

  • 'I plan to start cycling again properly when the weather picks up but want to do so on a geared bike'...'6months ago but a month after purchasing I moved 5 minutes away from my place of work'
    Does a 5 minute journey get longer and more hilly when the weather picks up?

  • It's a nice-looking bike, but £1,000 is a completely nutbobbins price.

    You need to put down the crack-pipe, bro.

    For real.

  • Somewhere in this thread there is someone just trying to sell a bike..

  • If I were you, I'd sell all the parts individually - you stand a much better chance of getting your money back that way.

  • 900? bubble bath your 'avin a laugh!

  • Im not sure why I am bothering to reply to the ignorant comments but when I say cycle properly all I mean is I want to get a geared bike so I can do long rides at the weekend rather than commuting as I don't need to do that anymore.

    Yes I am trying to resell with the same text as before because its the same bike, why I would I not?

    And as for the price that is why I initially put just to make me an offer as I don't really know what it would be worth now I'm purely going off what I paid for it and its use/age since then.

    Im happy to listen to offers if you are interested, I'm looking for a quick sale, would just appreciate serious non time waster comments. I would rather sell it as a complete back as I dont really have the time to be listing everything separately so I'm going to try for that initially.

    Cheers ;)

  • Hi Adamordinary, I'm still in the "nursery stage " so can't pm unfortunately, I really like the look of your bike, it's really sweet, where are you based? I'd like to come and have a look if I may and make you an offer you can't refuse!
    Cheers

  • Hello mate... email is in the original post drop me an email and we can chat :}

  • for all the blb customers reading this - next time someone from blb will give you a 'price' which they reckon reflects the worth of a blb built bike - just ask them if they can buy it back for 10%less. it will still be twice as much as the real market value is.

  • They should buy it back, because it looks like it was built using a random parts bin. What a tosh.

  • Live and learn. Im purely selling it in order to sort out a geared bike so I welcome any sort of swap/money deals... I just want to sell it asap, wether my price is out or whatnot I have no idea I'm not trying to promote unrealistic expectations I just don't actually know what I can hope for realistically... I believe I could probably do better selling separately, so open to that idea too if needs be, basically I would like to have it sold by the end of month if possible

  • That Aerospoke looks anything but 'immaculate like new condition'.

    If you want it sold asap the stick it on ebay with no reserve...you may just get lucky?

  • ^^^^^ beaten

    Hear that? Sounds like eBay calling!! You'll get more for your
    Money if you split (or not) and put it on eBay. It's a look a lot of people will be going for. I know my mate would snap it up if he wasn't such a cheap arse.

  • Its not using random parts, I went through them at the time and they added up, there wasn't even a labour charge on top. And the spoke just has a bit of dust on it, come and look at it if you are interested if not then curb the pointless and faceless snide comments its just a waste of time really, I'm not even sure why I am bothering to entertain them :)

    @Chak cheers mate... I was trying to sell not using ebay just because of fees and having some bad experiences with a paypal scam.

  • Going by the formula of, 50% depreciation as it leaves the store, and say -£10 per month, I'll give you £565 for it.

  • I was saying that my lowest would be 700, but I will take 650 just because I've got terrible patience :}

  • is a completely nutbobbins
