Very kind of you OP. Is that a Beinn 20 small?

I sold a similar one a few months back for £250, so you might be under pricing a touch!

Just saw one on the classifieds for 300 quid!

Tried to sell it a while back and had no interest, I think for around a hundred quid. It's clogging up the garage and I want rid.

I think the pricing is reasonable. 😄If the buyer disagrees then they could always make a donation to STW Towers.

PS. Don't think it has the knobblies any more as they went on the IB Bein 20 large that I did manage to sell.

I would actually like that for my 5yo who has just outgrown their Cnoc 14. Happy to pay actual money. I’d want pick it up after lockdown though, whenever that may be.

Amazing bikes and easy to restore to former glories. We have one that's now with our third child. We got it in 2013, its older than child number 3 🙂 and has been a brilliant investment.

...and probably worth more than it originally cost you.

Priced at 100 quid will put people off... things can be TOO LOW...
CLean it, oil it up, and stick it on FB marketplace for £220.

Well done OP. Terrific bikes - probably my favourite bikes that my kids had (they're 19 and 21 now). Had the pleasure of meeting Isla herself when I collected our first one, and she went through the bike, including explaining the custom brake levers she had made, so little hands could operate the brakes.

Sold the last of ours to a nice chap on here for under what it was worth, on the basis that he sell it for no more than he bought it for, and indeed he followed up on this when he sold it.

there an active Islabike FB group, that would snap that up.. I'd suggest even if you don't want anything for it, you put on some sort of price to stop the chancers, and give the cash to charity (or waive it, if you believe the buyer is genuine)

Just messaged you, thanks

Hi @coatesy. You've also blocked me 😜

If you meant to block me then all good, sorry to bother you.
If you didn't, and want a reply then perhaps you could do the necessary...

Not sure what's happened there, looked at my messages and you're not showing as blocked (though I do have trouble figuring out computers). If you're happy with my offer, can you try messaging again, or failing that, call me in work tomorrow on 02920345944, thanks.

Right, think i've sorted the messaging thing, hadn't blocked you specifically, but unbeknown to me, messaging from everybody was turned off.
