In light of my recent post I don't even think I will try and say what type of single speed or who might ride it but,it's for sale and has some nice kit on it,ie THOMSON stem,THOMSON seat post and a brand new single speed truativ crank with new BB new headset and brand new brakes chain tension is perfect running 33/18 nice respray and I think it,s not a bad looking bike.But there again what do I know
190quid.

Ah here mate, this forum is somewhere you can get a lot of helpful advice and encouragement... everyone's just having a laugh, there is a lot of jibing and slagging on here alright but if you take it with a pinch of salt you'll soon get into the swing of it, first post I ever made was a huge error, my own bike in Bike Porn...took plenty of flak for that one but if you're good humoured and just brush it off and join in the fun without being malicious you'll end up coming away from it with plenty of useful info and a few good laughs so the best thing you could do is retract the nasty comments re: couriers and take the hazing you'll be grand...the reason you got so much abuse is that a lot of people try to sell stolen bikes on Gumtree and the like with vague descriptions unfortunately almost identical to your op...noone's really trying to give you a hard time though.. it's just kind of funny..anyways if you're going to have a laugh at it then welcome to the forum and if not you'll be in for much more abuse I'd imagine...
I think i will stick around a bit afterall i have another bike to sell lol
-
holy shit are you just trying to piss everyone off???
I did not start the insults i just tried to sell a bike i did not realise how small minded some people can be does not help new forum members in any way so people new to the single speed scene would not stick around in my opinion,i would have prefered some helpfull advice instead of the name calling,
I can give as good as I get though so let the mayhem begin gloves are off. -

kingcutter pink velocitys would have gone well with the bartape on that bike you just sold,you should have kept it
You cheeky Monkey that was specialized bar tape 10 quid a wrap,anyway the frame was 500 and I wanted 531,just bought a Dave Lloyd but I think i will think twice before putting a scan in bike porn. lol

Don't be scared, to be honest the first thing I thought when I saw the thread title was that is was some gumtree shit trying to sell a stolen bike or a unipack, it's a description I see all the time. I think if Kingcutter had worded his OP a little better he probably wouldn't have got so much stick, however I'm guessing he sold it on the CTC forum so its not an issue now.
If you have something to sell, I think as long as you describe it properly people will either buy it, or ignore it if they're not interested..
I think the mistake was putting it in thefor sale first place lol but it is steel and single speed and i am sure i have seen those type of bars on a courier bike.

Mr Cutter.
List the rims/hubs/cranks to give people a better idea of the build. a sticker is a sticker for £120-150 that's a good hack. providing the BB, headset and hubs are new happy days!If people cared about the labels we'd all be believing Carhart made half the fixed gear bikes in the east end
Thanks for your post i thought it was a good hack i think a few people on here have there head up there arse a bit which is not to helpfull to new people on the single speed,scene like myself and just trying to learn as we go along the head set is brand new and shimano 105 and the bb is also new,thanks again but now it's sold.

Just bought this for £50- 531 tubing thoughout-maybe respray and even gears? can't resist a bargain-missus going to whip my ass- though, might have to spend some time under the bed!
I got the very same frame in black the set post was stuck in and a guy at the local garage snapped the dowm tube getting it out,woodrup in leeds said they would replace the tube for 50 quid so i may get it done.
