For Sale: Gianni Motta Personal Track Frame 56x54

Oh ok then forget what the previous owner said and check everything from scratch. Starting with the tubing and seat post diameter.

welcome to the london fucked gear forum 071 nice to see your contribution of 8 posts before you listed this beauty !

I know I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but what would you buy this for at any price? I think you would get laughed at every time you rode it, and then it would break...

Will the seller cover dental costs?

You can repair it, you only need to change top tube.

Well worth the money in that case. Joker.

As I said, you can negotiate, starting price is 250 pounds

Hilly Ben always has something worthless to say!

071, why don't YOU (just) replace the top tube and then try to sell it for its full, original, undamaged and desirable worth of about £300 (with perfect paint). You will be rechroming as well, won't you?

simply, I don't have money for that

^^Neither does anyone else with half the brain of a hamster with special needs and a limp. Just throw it away.

^Ooooo, Missus!

It's a state, but save able. Play nice fellas. It's not a contest.

but for 290 posted chris.. hes taking the piss.. "shallow dent".. ffs

simply, I don't have money for that

If you don't have the money for that neither does the person who you expect to fork out 250/300 pounds for it. If you had this listed at the right price, you should be able to restore yourself and then sell on and recoup most of that additional cost you've spent.

Plus you're in Poland so selling to a London market means the buyer already has to pay a 40 GBP shipping premium.

Basically it's not good business for the you as the seller, or the buyer. Write this one off as a learning experience and maybe keep it yourself as a side project to work on so you can see what a restore would truly cost. (I'd have no idea myself).

first comment that is worth something. Maybe you're right, maybe I need to think over it again.

Glad it helped. Plus you'll get a lot more credibility admitting you've made a mistake. Comments on here are usually very blunt - but also usually accurate. It serves to stop people excessively overpaying. Don't take it personally.

I just take this comment as an attack, that explain my reaction. Stay tuned, maybe it will come again restored ;)

071 has been a pretty decent chap if you ask me...

Did a meteor strike that top tube?

Fair play!.....compared to the meteor that wiped the dinosaurs out 65 million years ago.....this is a small meteor hit.....but definitely a meteor strike!

shame, looks a nice frameset
given the actual state of the dent
and what seems the appearance of a crease on the top tube ,
I'd say needs a new tt , soft dents without creases can be filled

no that i'm contributing anything new or especially enlightening

come on, let's not crater fuss

Would make a nice restoration project anyhoo. Just replacing the top tube and leaving the patina..
