Price drop on this guys... time waster on eBay dropped out.

£350 no offers.

Thanks

I was waiting for the inevitable ‘splitting’ chat 😀

Won’t rule it out mate but I’d rather shift it as a whole first so let me see

In my head, I was hoping for £500/450 so not too far off

Cheers guys, it really is a lovely bike, great stiff ride, smooth groupset for someone wanting an entry level bike with character (i.e. not a Specialized) still around if anyone wants it for a straight £400.

Bump to see if anyone wants to take this for £400?

*If anyone wants to do that (strip it down etc) then I'd let you have it for 500.

Cool thanks for the advice fellas - appreciate the info.

Tbh I just don't have the time to do that, as good as it sounds.

Looks like I'll be stuck with it for now

A so called 'vintage expert'.

I won't name and shame in case they get on here.

Would I get back £700 for it?

Last one, but if you want anything specific taken, let me know.

And another

Another...

Yes it is mate. I have another image I can upload for it if you want to see it.

Sorry, image upload has failed.

I do have several images if interested. I'll work out how to post them :)

No longer have space for this, so looking to move it on.

Vintage Eddie Merckx, superb condition, couple of paint chips but nothing too bad
Campag front & rear mech
Campag headset
Campag crankset
Campag brakes
56cm frame

You'd probably want to change the pedals, but other than that its perfect. Spoke to a trader who reckons its worth in the ball park of £900 but would take offers around £780 / £800 that for a quick sale and to keep the missus off my case.

Available for pick up in Hackney.

Cheers,
Chrissy

Tried to swap this a few weeks back for a black/carbon one but had a bit of a runaround with potential buyers. I've managed to get a carbon one now so selling my white one.

Its 8 month old, great condition, rides perfectly true, there are a few braking marks on one side of the wheel where my pads slipped onto the white surface. It's not too severe, but I'd rather sell as it is rather than touch it up myself and make a bodge job of it. The other side of the wheel is perfect with no marks

Cash only to pick up in Farringdon - £170, no offers. Will include Halo tyre which is 3 month old.

I'll take it tomorrow if its still available?

There are certain areas in e.g Hackney that are bike theft hotspots. There should be some way of sharing this information with others online. There used to be a google maps mash up of bike thefts (i couldnt locate it now) but it was very little used. If people shared when they had bike/parts stolen you could build up a picture of the most risky places to leave a bike. There are also places where its common knowledge bikes are sold on. If you can get the police to mark you bike and you happen to locate it you have no chance of getting it back unless you can prove its yours. Ive heard of many poeple buying back bikes that have been stolen.

It's a really good idea. I work in web development and I'd love to explore something which surfaces issues like this, or at least try to do something as opposed to nothing other than, oh my bike has gone (again)

Worth looking into at work.

Had my Brooks saddle (and my pals too) stolen last night from outside Haggerston Park while the closing ceremony was on. Bike was well locked up but I wrongly assumed that the security and police presence would deter them. It was pretty close to the entrance, but still, don't take risks.

I bet it was like a kid in a sweet shop material for thieves last night down there

Live & learn

Cool. I'm going to Barcelona for the weekend today but pop them up and I can check from there and arrange to hook up if needs be

Cheers

Got any photos of it please mate?

Is the white not a little odd on the carbon?

Yeah please do mate I'll check it out.

How long did the spray last for?

FFS - I'm new on the board. The search functionality, which I'm now very much aware of, and has since proved very handy, wasn't the first thing that sprang to mind. I thought it'd be more than acceptable to actually ask a question on the public message board without prejudice to the general users on here - apparently not.

I now know better so please get over yourselves.

I don't think it really matters to be honest TM, don't let it trouble you.

Thanks for the heads up MatchkeY

Yes mate, I'll get some up this AM for you.

Thanks - didn't even know what that meant so looked it up and what do you know - found both answers.

Cheers :)
