My mate who is just getting into mountainbiking ( but had an old cheap bike) and is too tight to spend money has a decentish fork, a set of disc brakes and a wheel for £85 – the knowledge I gleaned from here also enabled me to buy cheap pads and a disc for him new for £15 so for £100 he has got a disc front end with hydro damped fork on his old bike and a rear brake set for spares or when he gets a better frame

I think thats a bargain in anyones book

Barganlicious, I hope he appreciates your hard work and buys you a beer the next time you stop at the pub.

This is one of the things STW is great for.

Did you get the free argument special deal?

was there any involvement, or suggestion of involvement of scammers, traders or stolen bike parts?

were the adverts vetted for accurate photos, reasonable prices, correct use of payment facilities?

have you left good feedback on all appropriate threads

Good Work.

“basks in self-righteous glow”

That’s not an argument, it’s just contradiction!

I’e had some good deals from here. My latest was not STW classifieds….. but I bought a pair of Motorbike trials boots the other day for £18 delivered! They may be completely knacked but they’re cheap and that’s what matter right now. Can’t spend £150-£200 on a pair of boots when the bike only cost £500!
