I might even offer a finders reward! 🙂

Why not just find a black person riding one and take it off him? 😛

🙄

I thought the 5 was a keeper?

A guy called Hot_Rod was selling one on SDH a few weeks ago, it looks a nice one but not exactly cheap.

As for the reward please make the cheque payable to…. 😀

I thought the 5 was a keeper?

Ultimately no. I would even consider a px (NOT a straight swap).

Ps- its sold 🙁

any good to you?

That's a bargain! 🙄

That is possibly the most overpriced second hand bike I have ever seen.

I'd sell mine. For a million pounds.

Believe the hype – they're awesome bikes!

Can I claim my reward 😉

Here

It is a Medium.

Been for sale for a few months so probably ripe for a deal too!

Got to ask, how long do you on average keep a bike for hora?

By the way, the one I linked to is 1 yr old apart from wheels which are brand new. 3 month warranty. (I asked the LBS about it about a month ago). Seems like a bloody bargain to me.

for as long as his OCD and aspergers syndrome will let him

Jfeb, Ive been stalking that- they wouldnt sell as a frame only and it eventually sold yesterday 🙁

snowslave- yes definitely. I had a Blur 4x from new for 14months. I decided a change for changes sake was necessary earlier this year. So I sold it and bought a new Chumba XCL frame for £600- sold it on here then bought this Five. I've also owned a Heckler for 18months, a Fuji commuter for almost three years now. I tend to buy hardtails every 5secs and secondhand fullsussers ever 10secs.

Damn. Wouldn't it have been worth buying as a bike and just selling the parts? They were asking for less for the whole bike than I paid for my frame. Oh well. Too late now. Bummer.

Is it a Medium you are after?

I didnt think the bits would be worth that much though versus the hassle of selling off/adding postage on. I'd still end up paying 700 for a used 08 frame which isnt worth it.

Hora, if I remember rightly there has been a couple of Blur 4x on the classifieds over recent weeks and you even posted on the threads!!! Why did you not buy them then, or was your Five the best bike ever at that moment in time? 🙄

oop north I posted on them threads as I was yearning 🙁

I even posted on one that offering less than £400 was insulting for the frame in question 🙂

that green one is nice shame its gone, yeah there was an orange one on classifieds. Don't morewood make a similar bike.

there was an orange one on classifieds

Thats the one in Aberdeen- now gone. One will come through in the nearish future I guess. Just patience. I'll continue riding the Five for now 🙂

Strikes me your wanting to pay hardly owt for that frame you so love. If its that good and you really want it then be prepared to pay what the seller wants, within reason of course.
I have seen you on a few bikes now (Blazing Saddles rider) and don`t think you will ever be happy! 😆

I'll pay half the retail cost of the frame (1099). No more if its one year old. If its older- less.

Aye- Ive had a fair few but then rather bikes than cars. Cars cost a bloody lot more!

give him some credit he keeps his bike alot longer than ton. I can'y understand how you feel at home on a bike when swapping so often but I do like seeing all these new bikes.

but I do like seeing all these new bikes.

Agree. I love new bikes. Pity ton is bigger than me though- hes a bloody giant FFS.

I think its Hora and Ton keeping the bike industry going through these hard times!!! 😆

HardTimes- Anyone remember that club? Iconic hard house etc throughout the 90's.

Hora – Mine cost me over £1200 with an RP23 shock from memory 14 months ago, if that makes the cost of one second hand any more palatable 🙂

Given they are now hard to get hold of, I reckon the newest 2nd hand ones ie 2008 might be worth more than 50% of their new cost. But then I am biased. £550 certainly wouldn't be enough to get mine off me and mine is barely used (damn those family commitments)

My 08 RP23 anodised silver one was £1199. It was 1099 with the standard R shock and powdercoat!

Just checked. Mine was £1,152 (hearing-aid-beige paint + RP23)

Stop hogging it. Its rude and unfair jfeb 🙁

Hora – Cycle Surgery in Spitalfields (E London) has a silver ano medium frame hanging up. Brand new and they want £707 for it.

Thank you for the heads up, I called- Its gone 🙁

You sure?? I was in there at 1pm today, and I reckon it's been there for over a year. I can't believe it's disappeared in the 8hrs since I was in there!

Gawling, I spoke to the manager Sim? Double-checked (its on a transfer/sold).

heihei, I would just like to say I love you man. For the record I offered heihei a reward, he kindly turned it down. 🙂

So when you sell it in 12 months you'll advertise it for £353.50, right?

LOl, yes 🙂 I didnt see heihei's post until I got home at 7.30 that evening- I was trying to get his post pulled and I emailed him saying stop replying/say its gone! (incase someone else was after one as well)

So Hora – does that mean you are back in the Blur 4x club?
