is he a friend of morgasm? why not contact him?
They only know each other from that one exchange with my bike involved afaik. But I will contact him at some point unless anyone here recognizes Daniel. This because it's not at all morgasms fault so he shouldn't have to be bothered by this anymore. He's traded a bike for money and now it's my problem.
-
His real name is Daniel Prendergast, according to Skype anyway.
krankers: I doubt PMing someone who hasn't been online in 2 months would do much good in way of procuring a address. And I wont be visiting someone in London all the way from Helsinki either.
Anyway let's hope someone here knows him and what's going on. Another member is waiting for him to ship some forks over as well.

Someone already mentioned troubles with 'cubism' aka Daniel from London (not Stuth and I wont give his last name just yet)
I bought a bike off morgasm ( http://www.lfgss.com/thread100792.html ) in early March (4th IIRC) after finding someone in London (cubism) to post it for me ( thread here http://www.lfgss.com/thread102286.html )
Morgasm confirmed he got the money and that cubism did indeed pick up the bike last minute (morgasm was leaving on a holiday hence to possibility to post it himself).
At first I was in nearly daily contact with cubism through Skype and the forums and he was just really busy with other stuff so I was glad enough to let him sort it out as it wasn't really riding weather yet what with the snow and all where I live.
Then a lot of empty promises "gonna do it later this week" etc, I wont post the whole conversation obviously but it's all logged for sure.
As of now, Cubism hasn't even logged on LFGSS in two months and Skype is very quiet indeed. No emails have reached him either.
I'd love to know if anyone in here knows him as he looks to be a reasonably active member up until recently. I hope nothing bad has happened to him, and would obviously love to get my bike at some point. Student with 0 income spending roughly £450 for a couple of emails is a bit steep but I suppose I can only blame myself for trusting this specific member.
Any help or information regarding cubism and previous experiences dealing with him are greatly appreciated though!

Aww, I just bought an SL-15 which was in incredible condition although slightly more expensive than your 1210 :(
Oh well I hope someone snaps it up soon!
-
Wow, just went through the whole thread and it is just pure sechs!
Have to get a winterbike right now! Even if it's spring.
Keep the thread going!
PS. Personal favourite and coolest bike of all time: Zdrenka's blue Dolan FXE drool

Re-dibsed as I've found someone in London to pick it up for me. You have PM morgasm
-
Thanks for all the help and offers I've received through PM's! This place is a gem and so are its members!
I've found a member to handle the transaction in London and I'll make a donation to the forums as soon as I receive the bike.
Thank you all so much:)

Specifically this bike http://www.lfgss.com/thread100792.html
I have not bought it yet as I'm trying to sort out if someone would be able to help me out with the packaging and shipping. Maybe someone works at a bike shop? Maybe someone has experience with sending bikes to mainland Europe or even Scandinavia?
Obviously whoever is willing to help out will receive some compensation for their troubles and packaging materials. But this can be discussed when a suitable person is found.
I have undibsed right now to give others a fair chance to get the bike. But as soon as someone I trust volunteers to help a fellow out I will start sorting shipping costs and buy the bike if it's still available.
Cheers,

If someone in the London area would be able to handle picking this bike up and shipping the bike to Finland I would greatly appreciate it. I know it's a long shot, but I'm desperate for wheels at this point. You would obviously be compensated for materials and effort (you won't get rich).

Is the seat tube 54 c-c or c-t?

"collection from Henley on thames train station. 1hour and a few minutes from paddington station, train sits in henley for 10 minutes enough time to do the transaction."
Is the frame somehow illegal? :D Sounds like a Ocean's Eleven -type job

2nd dibs, pm sent

Why do people post links to direct pictures sometimes? I can't find the ads from a image alone..
-
Stop tempting me with these gorgeous bikes! I have rent to pay!
-
If only this was a 52ctc :( Looks really nice! GLWS

Don't make a new thread about it. Just use the old one to drop the price.

Because of the much higher quality spec.
As with all things, you're buying a bike/car/house that the previous owner has specced up with something of his/her own choice. You're not buying the bike because of the cranks, the car because of the aftermarket turbo, or the house for the kitchen appliances.
If the seller wants to squeeze out as much as possible then splitting is the way to go imo.
But as always the seller can ask whatever he or she wants, and kudos to him if he gets good money for it. This might just be a bit too early in the season.

The complete bike, lower-spec components of course, off Pearson's website is £650. Now with the best will in the world I think you're overreaching here.
Second hand is always second hand, no matter what the components. Best of luck, I'd try my luck with £500 ONO
