Unconditional but very optimistic 4th dibs.

Just to note, the price on this is going to go up.

Hi,
I have put a bike for sale on the forum.
It belongs to an aged member of my cycling club who has had a stroke and wants to sell all his bikes and equipment.
By the comments and enquiries I have received it is apparent that I have undervalued it.
Can I adjust the selling price so that the seller gets a higher price ?
I will ensure that the sale price is still represents a good investment for the buyer.
Regards
John

I've said that given those circumstances that most people would understand.

We don't allow auctions on here, but it would be good if photos were shared and a fair price to all was agreed.

Perhaps then the thread should be restarted with some guidance / assistance to the seller. I am still keen on this as no doubt are all the others above. If it was the advertiser was the seller I would be miffed but on the other hand I have no desire to steal it from its elderly unwell owner and I am sure the other dibsers will feel the same.

hetchins with oria tubing and 24" front wheel ... I'm no expert on hetchins, but haven't see either before.

I'm just keen to see pictures...

un-third dibs as I'm trying to save for titanium...

Cheers...

I guess it's still a curly.

That thing's awesome!

Woah. An absolute collectors item that is.

It will fetch the best price cleaned up, put in working presentable order, photographed well and put on ebay.

Some fat yank will sell his kids futures short for that.

I suspect if anything it's a Bob Jackson "Hetchins" though... Maybe worth emailing BJ as to the history of it?

We all know Hilary would be selling that frame for near 1k...

do you have the serial number please?

We all know Hilary would be selling that frame for near 10k...

...

Looking at it, would make such a good pub bike... Much more sensible than the Corima...

hope it doesnt go this way
