Do you still want to sell your black chainring?

Been looking for a V1 fork and found this company in Japan, that is basically a copy of the Gangsta Track. Do you guys think this fork would fit on a small V2?

Also, have BMW's gone up in price because of the shop closing up?

Thanks for the offer. It's definitely an idea, trying fixed gear. Only tried it for a couple of minutes on a friend's bike before.
I don't have a crankset yet and Goldsprint was the next shop I was going to check out.

Great, thanks for your help. Good that I didn't take the guy in the shop up on his offer to buy a new wheelset.

@Rodolfo would be great to get some tips from someone. have not gotten much help in the shops I've been in. I myself am in 10249.

Here are some pics

I don't care that much about the money but the way the guy behaved after he had my money.

I was told at a bike shop that I had bought the wrong stuff. That the rims were also not right if I wanted to use brakes.

This is not a problem I had with someone on lfgss but with a trader from ebay classifieds in Berlin. I just moved back to Berlin recently and I wanted to buy a new bike. This week I found a used Cinelli Mash Work for a good price. I contacted the guy and met up whith him. We agreed on a price and everything was ok. He also wanted to sell me the wheelset. As I have no idea about bike components, I agreed, as it seemed like a good deal. Turns out that they are not freewheel compatible which in my ignorance I didn't know. I called the guy up and wanted to return the wheelset. He agreed to take it back but wanted to give me 50 Euros less as he said that he either lost the money or didn't count right. I definitely gave him the full amount. I even made him count the money twice during our transaction. But he said that he is out 50 Euros and that he will take them back for 50 less than the original price. After a couple of heated phone conversations and lenghthy text messages, he has now stopped responding.
It's not even about the money, as I will now happily sell them even at a loss. But this whole situation has left me a bit upset and I needed to vent somewhere.

Not sure if anyone is interested, since the bike seems to be in Singapore but I'll post it anyway. Since BMW are closed now, I figure that the Gangstas will be even harder to get from now on.
