Like I said, it's up to you what you want to think is BS or not. But If I wanted a quick flip it would've been stripped and listed within 20mins of getting home.

Appreciate the offer of parts but I'm trying to clear what I have to move forward with life.

I hear you and appreciate your words. Don't mean to take the piss.

carry the stress of that into the new year.

This is exactly what I am trying to do.

For full clarity yes Juice is me. If you knew it then you probably understand the way I operated it, but if not then briefly it was about supplying affordable/serviced lightweight steel bikes to people of London. I tapped into the market trying to challenge real profiteering shops in east London many of you know. It came about at a time of desperation after lockdown where I lost all my work (art tech/freelancer) and I was lucky enough to fund a space cheap enough to be able to do this and barely make a small level of profit to sustain the time and effort.. I recently lost my space at short notice in July when the landlords kicked me out due to selling the lease to Sands catering company who was ultimately willing to pay nearly double the rent. Funnily enough I now actually sleep with spanners and wrenches under my bed.

I've tried to avoid buying stuff on here for people I know, because not like some people who are piping in with spicy comments I've actually lurked on here for a very long time and fully backed the forum as a community space (big up all the st pauls cru) before and after the switch so I've tried to not mix the two things to avoid situations like this.

Anyways, believe me if you want or not I didn't really want to stick it up on ebay but theres a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes recently which will give you some context of why I've pretty much had to it..

Ive been shafted by the two people I shared my workshop with for islington council business rates, summonsed to court and being charged £1690 total. One gave their word they will pay (not recieved a single p since July) and the other just plain ghosted me. I am being hounded by the managing agents of the unit for service charges for a unit that never got any service from them - B Bailey limited of Ilford. This could easily be another £1k if I wasn't in the process of challenging. Oh and the 45 year old boiler at my mums has gone and needed to be replaced, alongside a broken wachine machine and leaking external waste pipe oh and leaking gutter in the roof needing scaff etc. So lets call it around £4k? going out at a very quiet time with work. Hard to believe all this has come at once but it has and its stress.

I'm not trying to excuse making a profit on the Mercian.. but I actually did buy it for my mate who was going to commute from Harlesden to QP daily for work but it didn't work out for many reasons and he ultimately told me to sell it for as much as its worth to try and alleviate the bullshit situation of the workshop I'm in. I think in this situation a lot of people would be doing the same and they probably wouldn't even bother to reply to the thread. If I wanted to just buy and flip I would've set up an account like user157152 and not even went through the effort to think of a username then flipped it on a random ebay account..

As much I want to keep my word on the quote above from two years ago, I know I can make a few quid on it to help right now to help with the situation I'm in. I've sold a lot of stuff on here for way less than its worth over the years and in similar fashion, will be doing the same after the new year when I start getting surplus Juice Bikes stuff out of my mates storage unit, as right now I don't see myself getting another workshop unless a cheap one comes about. I will be making a thread with loads of bits going cheap for a quick sale. For example a Reynolds mid 2000's Deda Rourke which retailed for a grand or so? with a minor dent on the downtube for lets say £70? So I hope this will level things out.

TLDR. Didn't buy for profit but times are hard atm and need cash to pay sparky for heating.

buy an ikea kallax and ask someone on stick a royal mail crate on top?

Fyi if on return of the item there are parts missing get in contact with ebay and after a bit of back and forth you keep the payment and keep the wheels. The buyer also gets a refund so its a win win situation

Anyone got a record flattening pouch or know of somewhere in London that could do it? Just got a 45 in the post thats got a nice wave that I'd prefer to try and save than send back :-(

Bought it for a mate who needs a fixed/singlespeed to get to work locally. Will get swept back bars , chunkier tyres and some gators or gumwall

I'm local, will keep my eyes peeled for you

Nah, not cool enough anymore for that kinda stuff

Probably not but feel free to make me an offer :-)

Would like to have these packed/gone by saturday so if anyone else wants postage on the 32h pair of black rims then please send me a pm with your paypal, address and I will pack them up.

If you want to pay via goods then please add the fee charge on top. Will be sent insured etc so covered either way.

Managed to find a box round the corner last night. If you are still interested send me a pm with your paypal, address and I will pack them. Postage should be around £9

Clearing out my room this week and clearing out a few books. Anyone interested in potentially buying them? will update as I go along

David Chancellor Hunters - £20

Keizo Katjima 1979: Photo Express: Tokyo - £80

Some random punk book "Blind Authority" - Free

PM's replied to.

Im not against postage, just don't have any cardboard big enough to send them an even less unlikely to find enough for both locally.

Also, preference to people who takes them as pairs as I really don't want just one of each lingering around :-)

Bump now £40 each or will do a deal for the whole lot

.

Thanks. Still got the covers. Undecided if I will sell the wheels yet which the covers live on. If I do I will let you know. Don't think I will ever see another pair though if I do sell :-(

I think the time has come to sell this.. Anyone on here interested?

size is here
