thats gorgeous, fair price too

This is pretty good.

Really doubt you'll need to, but if for any reason you decide to split, dibs frame.

Where abouts are you? Does the group work correctly ? Shifts nicely etc?

Dibs please.

yes everything's working fine, and all in good condition, wheels straight, post and stem free etc.

it'll have to be first come first served,anything else sounds too complicated.

Are you able to meet in central London? Not interested in posting etc. also can you put better pics up.
cheers

Second dibs please

sorry i don't want to process dibs,
it'll have to be first come first served,anything else sounds too complicated.

i don't want to do distance selling on it at the moment , so it's got to be pickup from woodley

re: better pics, i've mentioned that in the first post - i'll get better pics up when i get them sorted.

thanks

1st, 2nd, 3rd... etc.

SK6 is showing near Stockport? Is that right?

You do realise you have posted this in LONDON fixed gear & single speed right?!?

the postcode - as already given - is SK6
if it's near enough / too far for you - that's your own decision
if you want to be angry about your decision for some reason - then that's your decision too.

here are some more photographs, it's generally very clean, but still has a little roqad grime i've not cleaned off yet.

• has the odd spot that ideally would be touched up.
  also the tyres are ok for a test ride etc. but will need to be replaced (rims are 700c clinchers, not tubs - so that's easy enough )
  
  

forgot to say, brakes are single pivot uni-planar design , left shifter has four equally spaced positions and works a bit more like a segmented friction

everything is tight, smooth, straight and working well

Don't know why you're getting jumped on for not bending over backwards to give a nice bike away at a more than fair price.

GLWS

....getting jumped on........because it's so cheap.

ftfy

That's why. It wasn't difficult finding Woodley even without the postcode. He lives there, just because it's inconvenient for you, doesn't make it a shithole. Unless it is.
Love these Ribble's. glws

Yeah, because no one from outside London, ever buys and sells on here. FFS.

i've sold a few things here locally before so hadn't thought it a problem,

I've been to London before - and back- so i thought i was possible to do the journey the other way too, obviously there's some rules about leaving London i'm not aware of.

regarding the dibs, in my experience they're used to prevent me selling freely (asking me to make a commitment with no-counter commitment ), whilst questions are asked and then no 'un-dibs' happens after that person has decided they don't want it. - meanwhile serious bidders are passing by. basically a waste of time and off-putting to later viewers
**
so again - NO dibs thanks

re: me not posting it, - i don't wan to get into distance sales on this - so it's pickup only ,
seems fair -or so i thought

as for the hater comments................................

I'm convinced that this is an issue the poster has about something else and that my listing has temporarily substituted as a target for the expression of some unmet needs.

The behaviour shows some classic hall marks of this:

the disproportionate level of response
sense of entitlement
territorial provincial-centric thinking
need to find a 'soft' target (for eg. i doubt very much this person would say this to my face)
need to create drama

as to the aetiology of this condition, i'll speculate perhaps it's due to some unresolved life stage, (mostly likely anal)

i can't take them personally/seriously, i'm way beyond that. - to be honest i feel sorry/embarrassed for them in freely showing they've such an impoverished set of behavioural responses that they need to take this perverted route as an attempt toget some sort of unspecified needs met. it's kind of damaged

number6 repped. post of the day.

Nice bike, it's Woodley near Stockport, Greater Manchester is it not?

Jeez you are an embarrassment.

lists>ignore

So it's cheap so it attracts freeloaders and wankers who want even more for even less. Vicious cycle.

Add £100 the the price! Target the premium LFGSS champagne market

Jeez - i wasn't hinting for more information. - i was happy with the robustness of my diagnosis, but thanks for helping to confirm the validity of the diagnosis with presentation once again of the following symptoms

the disproportionate level of response
sense of entitlement
territorial provincial-centric thinking
need to find a 'soft' target (for eg. i doubt very much this person would say this to my face)
need to create drama

I found it very quickly. Its just outside of reading.

I'm fucked off with OP because it pisses me off that I am given a choice -

(1) Ignoring a bike I might like to buy
or
(2) Fuck about on the net trying to find out where the lazy fucker who can't be bothered to make it clear where they live "eg Woodley, in Berkshire, near Reading" before I finally work out it is too far for me to bother with.

Just include as much relevant detail as possible straight off, and where the fuck you live is one of those things, especially for collection only items

Or you might try a couple of courteous questions instead?
It might stop people assuming you are an incapable of expressing yourself, beyond the level of a boozed up 10 year old.
Unless you are a boozed up 10 year old, in which, case carry on.....

Or I might just do the fucking original poster a fucking massive favour, which is to make it very fucking clear that he had already annoyed one potential buyer by virtue of his lazy posting.

If he chooses to act on that information to maximise his chances of a sale next time then that his choice, but the cunt might wish to thank me.

And you're on ignore too now. Fucking insulting boozed up ten year olds. bang out of order.

OK you have won me over with your charm, I take it all back.
You are clearly a reasonable man, and care about the welfare of young people to boot.

I'm sure after this motivational exchange, you have inspired the seller to be the focused and serious individual we all hope and dream for !
