[Closed] Cinelli Mash Parallax Frameset £0.01

Probably a mistake, just don't need a track frame though!

lol - bought one too. even got a text confirmation just now.

I've ordered one to see what happens 😆

do let me know if you end up selling!

Cheers, I've bought three to sell on the classifieds. Not a bad little earner for two minutes work!

Oh, why not...let's see what happens

Idiot, you should have ordered six.

Eligible for British Cycling discount?

Only if you buy enough of them 🙂

I've just bought 18

😀

Thanks for the heads up though. In the past, I've always dismissed these pricing error deals. But today I'm feeling rather greedy and immoral, so instead of buying a large doner kebab for my lunch, I ordered a cheap frame from Halfords instead. It won't be as satiating, but I've been thinking about an SS road bike for a while.

£3 delivery seems reasonable for 2 frames

bah! £4.99 delivery i'm out

Well given some folk have bought 18 frames even if they do honour it theres not going to be enough to go round 🙁

Just bought 1 to collect. Will look a bit cheeky when I turn up instore with a shiney one pence coin...

I'll be collecting from my local store, so ridiculous delivery charges for me 🙂

I expect a 'we're sorry' email shortly.

Ordered 1, paid for next day delivery in a feeble attempt to gazump everyone else...

Now, what is it?

Scratch that I now have 30 frames

Now, what is it?

i was wondering that. Does it have a brake?

See it's people buying 30 frames that will cause a flag on their system or just when they go to ship them the packing staff will question the order. When does anyone order 30 frame from Halfords.

I considered that. But I never carry change on me.

If I'd spotted this I'd have ordered one and then maybe blabbed on here once they'd delivered it and before they twigged there was a problem 🙂

Have ordered one for wall-art... am fully expecting the order to be cancelled!

[i]If I'd spotted this I'd have ordered one and then maybe blabbed on here once they'd delivered it and before they twigged there was a problem[/i]

I'm not that bothered whether I get it or not though, I fully expect the mistake to be flagged up irrespective of the number bought.

Now to break the (N+5) rule to the missus!

I cancelled my order after I realised it wouldn't take mudguards and a rack.

Ah but you could have sold it for a hefty profit. Given the imminent ebay market saturation I suspect they'll be worth no more that a quid by the time you realise you don't have any room to store it..

Wall art is a good idea...

Also ordered one. Suspect i will be getting a refund to my paypal in the near future. If a 30 frame order doesn't flag up on their system then there is something very wrong.....

I wouldn't imagine that have that big a stock of that frame though, could be wrong as I don't know how halfords works regarding holding stock.

just seen its a 700 quid framest! I'd have been a bit more confident if it was an end of line, clear out the warehouse 50 quid job.

Well, for £3 inc delivery I'll try that.

Will be amusing if it automatically triggers a through order to Cinelli who get all excited by the massive demand.....

The problem will be IF it does get sent out, given it's such a stunning frameset, the temptation will be there to spend a fortune building it up even though i have almost no need for a track bike!

What Gotama says....my 1p expenditure will spiral out of control as I try and source myself a pair of carbon wheels to go with it....

I like the idea of the wall art. I think my office is going to be refurb'd soon....

Worth noting that it doesn't appear to have any brake mounts - it's a track bike, not really a singlespeed for road use.

Not that it's stopped me ordering one! (need a grasstrack bike is my excuse)

[i]it's a track bike, not really a singlespeed for road use.[/i]

Yeh I know but could always change the forks and fit a front brake.

I'm planning to build up at the hippest of hipster fixies and ride around the fashionable parts of town wearing lycra with my gut hanging out the front and arse out the back - I might start a new fashion.

Odds of it actually arriving are what? slim to none, especially if people are ordering 30 of them? What are you planning on doing with them, starting a track team?

On one track hubs, open sport rims, probably get some finishing kit from on-one too just to get a matching set as I'd need new track bars anyway.

It's that or drum brake and dynamo front hub and coaster brake rear for the most utilitarian race bike commuter mash up ever!

I've just ordered one too, click and collect so no collection fee. We'll see what happens...

The classifieds might get busy in a few days. Or not...

[i]Odds of it actually arriving are what? slim to none, especially if people are ordering 30 of them?[/i]

I'd say it's highly unlikely my order will go through but as I said I'm not bothered either way.

Punting on eBay at £500 each. But I'm pretty sure the 'ordered 30' post was a joke, no one would be that daft.

Ooh, someone's bought them all, not available anymore!

I'd be frankly amazed if it actually turns up, but they've got form for being a bit silly - I bought a Mobi Bike wash for £10 from them once, well that sort of thing, whatever they were called a few years ago, kept it for a year, sold it for £40.

I think I must've go the last one (just!)

Phew!

Sweet looking thing. I'm sure I can turn into a weird commuter bike object - if it actually arrives.

Phew just got in there before it disappeared. Collecting it on monday...

Or Halfords have noticed and the quickest way to stop more carnage is to zero stock levels.

I am braced for a tinge of disappointment.

If someone successfully receives a small frameset I'll offer to double their profits a take it off them for a tenner! I have a full track bike set-up sans frame in my workshop, sort of N+1/2?

Bet you're not 🙂

Yeah, who's gonna risk 30p on something as serious as this ha ha.

Well, my £5 payment was taken from PP, but now there's a note to say "needs approval" I suspect that won't be forthcoming

Took a punt on a click and collect, I ride a single braked fixed to work on back, I'll not be stripping the old frame for parts just yet....

Gary_M - yeah, I bet I'm not collecting it on monday either.

Still, I'm going to find a shiny 1 pence piece from down the back of the safe just in case. Though, I'll probably hold off ordering a bunch of single speed parts for the time being.

Well, my payments been taken from paypal..

Took a chance on delivery, why the hell not, I'd be kicking myself if you lot all get frames for a penny

Fantastic. Just ordered £4k worth of wheels and finishing kit for my 5 frames.

I hope halfords doesn't let me down.

Website is now showing the frame as "Sorry, this product is not available at the moment"

Well they've sold out haven't they 😉

Arse missed it

If anyone managed to get one in medium and wants to double their money then i'd be interested 😀

😆 Keep dreaming everyone

I think most people are realistic about this and know that's it's about 0.001% likely to happen, but if you're not in it you can't win it.

there need to be a sticky on here for the resulting bike builds. I can see some monstosities appearing if these frames ever turn up...

And its a big 'if'.....

just had a 'your product has been dispatched' e.mail....

I've not 🙁 (yet, still clinging to hope 😛 )

Was that to collect in store?

I did consider doing a search to see if there were any on display in stores nearby and trying to get to the shop before all the orders get canceled :-p

IF... mine turns up - I plan on getting handy with the drill (to make some brake caliper mounting points) and to fit one of these (pictured below) to attach a rear mech. Then I'll turn it into some sort of flat-barred commuting monstrosity. Or maybe somehow bastardise it into being a tourer.. 😛

I wouldn't think so, when you collect in store from halfords the store call you to say your order is ready for collection.

ah bollocks...the dispatch was for some wiper blades bought last week...

this is going to be an emotional rollercoaster for all of us.

I ordered a couple to store and a couple delivered. If it arrives then I'm going to try with a drill. I have 4 so I can have a few goes.

120mm rear hub, so the only option would be a (really) old 126mm hub, and take some spacers off it if possible to get it to fit. And you'd still only have a screw on freewheel, probably 5 speed to fit?

Some pics online show a fork with a brake mount but not drilled, so there's potential to drill the fork maybe.

Even I'm biting my bottom lip for you all..

Fingers crossed, and legs, possibly ears, could do hair considering it's a bit long ATM.

Had a dispatch email, top PSA OP

Frantically hitting F5 on my e-mail hoping not too many orders for 30, 4, 5, whatever were made before by greedy people ruining it for everyone*

*love you really.

wishing I'd gone for delivery...

the thought of turning up at a store with a penny is not a comfortable one.

Oh yes... track frame chainline. Forgot about that.. 😳

Did someone say 'screw on five speed freewheel'! Oooooooohhhhh 😛

This could be fun.

Do 8 speed shimano STIs work with a five-speed wheel?

Hmmm... :-/

This spread like wildfire amongst my club and associated friends... there must have been over 150 frames bought at a value of over £70k... I just can't see this happening 🙁

Looks like this isn't gonna happen social media has killed it lol I ordered one first thing next day and I'm just waiting for the cancellation email now.

bought in store for 1p 8) that's joy of living 20 mins from Halfords HQ
