I am also interested to be in line to come see it

Thanks for all the comments. Very helpful to hear everyone's views. I think there is something going on with the owner's finances which isn't helping. He put the half built house up for auction last week "sold as seen", though I highly doubt he will be able to sell it. Then the scaffolders came and smashed some of the roof and brick work up. Assume they hadn't been paid. I think he's gone bust. No idea about the insurance. When the work started he was clear that he is fully insured. Maybe he doesn't want to pay the excess.

Building a house for profit is a risk he took, so I probably need to stop feeling too sorry for him. Though won't go as far as taking a shit on his lawn lol.

Thanks everyone. True it is his choice to claim on insurance or not, and it'll be a hassle building a bike up. It's hard because he's a friendly guy and I've got to know him a bit since the building work started.

Cost of a new frame from planetx is £550. Think I'll ask for £650 to factor in cost have it rebuilt.

A house is being built on the plot immediately next to mine. Today one of the builders dropped a slate from roof height that landed on my bike (which I'd propped up against on our side of the fence). This has caused a very large dent in the top tube and a smaller dent in the down tube. See picture.

It's a steel frame, but the size and position of the top tube dent makes me wary of using it at all. I think the frame is a write off.

The guy who is building the house has said he doesn't want to claim on insurance. He wants to 'come to an agreement'. He's a nice guy and he says he will pay the full price if I want.

The bike is an On-One Bootzipper (29er). I paid £800 for it in August last year. Only the frame was damaged, so I could just charge him the price for a decent second hand frame, but it's quite a hassle having build a bike up from parts.

I am thinking that I say he should pay me the resale value. Would £400 seem fair? It was in very good condition.

Any advice welcome (and if anyone has an X-large 29er steel frame they want to sell, let me know!).

Thanks

Just sent you another DM :-)

Hi, I'm interested. Where are you based?

This has now been sold.

Hi, yes it's still available. I'll send you a message to see if we can work out a time.

I am selling my Popal 'London Cab' Bakfiets Style Cargo Bike. Asking for £475, but needs to be collected by Friday. I'm in Walthamstow but will be moving on Saturday.

The bike has been well used, though still rides really well. It has a Shimano Nexus 7-speed hub, rear coaster brake and front drum brake. Can carry up to four children.

I advertised it on a local Facebook group for £500 but had no luck there.

Thanks

I'll take the Levi's shorts. Will DM

Potential dibs. Will Dm now

Hi. How tall are you? I'm 6'2 so wondering if it might be a bit small

Definitely interested!

Hi. I'm interested in this. I think they come in different sizes. Can you confirm which this is. Cheers

How tall are you? I'm 6"1 and wondering if this might be a good fit. Could potentially come and see it this weekend
