They should make a book of these. I love the detail they go on describing their life. Tell me more!

you can email him ! surely enough he will respond!

Although the text does sound dubious, he will actually need an email address associated with your paypal account to pay you via paypal. This is standard practice, so unless I'm missing something I can't see what the issue is.

You, on the other hand, appear to be asking him to send you an envelope full of cash.

I am guessing you have not seen the link:

In terms of asking cash, I wanted to see how far he would take this!
The listing was for €850 and in that same email I asked for €2.500, he didn't seem to mind !!! !

Not sure either? Does anyone have an idea?

I decided to email them out of curiosity.
The email exchange went as follows (you need to start at the bottom):

I insisted on paypal because i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have internet banking and i can't go to the bank due to the nature of my job, but i can pay from my paypal account, as i have my bank a/c attached to it, i will need you to give me your paypal email address so i can make the payments as soon as possible for the item, and please if you don't have a paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.com and get it set up , after you have set it up ,i will only need the e-mail address you use for registration with paypal so as to put the money through.

[INDENT]Wow this is fantastic !!! Almost to good to be true.

I would feel more comfortable if you send me the money in an envelope via DHL.
You can send the envelope to the following address:

5 Wenderland Street
CY-5555
Nicosia
Cyprus

Also I have change my mind on the price, I would like €2.500. I hope this does not change things!

I would like to ask a question. Did you decided to trust me blindly because of my global reputation as a seller or because of the deailed pictures on Bazaraki??

Looking forward to your response

[INDENT]Hello

Thank you for your interest.
Are you based in Cyprus??

Would you like to arrange a viewing?

Cheers George

I listed a bike in the classifieds here in Cyprus and got the following text message on my cell phone from an international phone number:

"hello I am interested in the Bicycle you have for sale on bazaraki.com, please contact me so i can complete the purchase. crissorton2@gmail.com"

a quick Google search got me this
http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=78982

apparently they want you to share with them your paypal details.

Thats even better I guess.
Have a free bump!

Imho you will need better pictures than that to demonstrate that there are no dents!
GLWS

Love the colour scheme !!! GLWS !

Same seller was selling Zipp Course SL drops in my size for much less than the 4ZAs (only difference they were aluminium).

I went with the 4ZAs as they were CF and I thought they would be stiffer.

A larger shim combined

I am looking for one of those 40mm Thomson shims. I will probably start with that!

combined with a top spacer

You mean moving one of the spacers over the stem?? or adding another one?? (apologies if this is a dumb question).

Don't even think twice! You are not using a lot of seatpost, so after getting rid of the spacer you could try a -17 stem as well ;)

I guess I am a bit of a slack ! I do find that the current height suits me well. The more miles I put on the bike the more comfortable I get so I guess at some point in the future I may consider droping the spacers !

With all that nice components, why not get a prober handlebar instead of the 4ZA one? Given your weight you might want to consider a Deda M35 handlebar. You would need to de-label it, if you want it to match with the other parts. A larger shim combined with a top spacer would be me first pick though.

Dissapoints me to hear this as I just paid £130 to a fellow forum member to buy those drops (new) !!!

Could not find a lot of information on them but the little information I could find was mostly positive!

They are these ones

http://www.carbonconnection.com/forza-4za-cirrus-pro-handlebars-carbon-compact-31-8/

slam the stem ??

Okay, I have now sorted:

• Cables (I think)
  
• Bar tape
  
  

I also installed a 10 speed record front derailleur and I got a pair of Look Keo 2 Max pedals (pending road bike shoes/ currently only have spd pedals).

I need to take new pics over the weekend.

One thing I am still not entirely happy with, is the cockpit flex. I got the oversized Zipp Course SL stem and the 4Za Cirrus Pro Carbon drops in hope that the flex would be eliminated but I am still not entirely happy!!!

I am down the following three possibilities:

• I am being paranoid and ignorant
  
• Its the Columbus 1" minimal fork
  
• Its because my shim (1" to1 1/8") is shorter than the stem clamp (stem clamp 40mm/ shim 34mm)
  
  

any thoughts ??

Lovely bike!
Good price as well.
Where are you based??

Btw current setup does not abide to rule #44

Saddle higher pls !

Welcome to Cyprus !! Will wait to hear your impressions from Famgusta as I have never been (with our political situation).

Give me some notice of when you will be coming to Nicosia as work is pretty hectic this period.

Again welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay in Cyprus!

The detailing on the bottom bracket shell turned out awsome !!!

Snap.

First time I ever used a torque wrench I also sheered a bolt.

Good to know I am not the only one !

Was your mistake as expensive as mine??!

I bought the torque wrench to get that extra accuracy in my bike setup.

I tried it last night for the first time (just after my evening ride).

See below the resutls

This is the derailleur hanger bolt from Campagnolo Chorus 10sp rear derailleur.

I have replaced the broken bolt with the hanger bolt of my Campagnolo Record 9 sp RD but as you would expect the movement is not as fluent. I will test ride it tonight.

But how is that for a first go at a torque wrench!!!

Measurement across the chest-zone of a flat tshirt would be a useful metric.

Which is not provided in this case!
http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CLOOMOMWRENS/on-one-mombassa-blue-wrens-short-sleeved-t-shirt

They do usualy tell you about kit that comes in "racing fit" or "italian sizes" as they call them but there was not mention in this case!

Thanks both. I was looking for something along the KEO Max or KEO Max Carbon range.

I was also considering the Ultegra pedals (although I want to avoid mixing Shimano and Campagnolo).

Jokes aside though, it would have been a more effective way of communicating size if 2XL was allways 2XL and racers bought a medium !

That's because Planet-X is for racers and Plain Lazy is for slackers

I am more of a slacker I guess :) !

I got 5 T-shirts from Planet X, all in 2XL, four under their own brand and one under the Plain Lazy brand.

The one at the bottom is the Plain Lazy and the one on the top is a PlanetX !

The planet X 2XL tshirts are more like medium-large!

Looking for road pedals for this build.
