At the very last minute I decided against bidding on ths nukeproof mega:
It ended up going for £1000. I think I've made an error I may well regret for sometime 🙁
With the 'all new' mega out this year you can be sure there will be plenty of them being sold. Another one will come along.
Nice bike, I agree with you.
You've no idea how much the guy who bought it bid though
something will come along again. OK, its a nice bike and a good price, but it's not like it had the top spec.
If it had a reverb, hope hubs a 36 Float on the front maybe it would be crying time
Fevour, jota - Thank you. Both things to sooth me asleep this weekend.
Chris - Not helping 😀
They're on sale at CRC as well, but only have smalls left.
Just have to wait until people with more money that me get the 2013 model (which is unlikely to be 'all new')!
grave error ?
I dunno, coffin up a grand on an unseen bike is quite an undertaking
I'd say you've actually dodged a bullet- poor forks, poor wheels, heavy spec, 9 speed and entry level brakes. Certainly nothing to write home about, an OK frame with low end parts thrown at it.
Scardeypants - That's what did it for me in the end. The pics were from a suspicious angle, i.e. not showing the crankside. Also the lack of a reverb saddle. (also appreciate the 'coffin' pun)
👿 "undertaking" ??!!
I'm gonna start saving my good stuff for bikemagic
(err, yes, that was my good stuff)
+1 it's not that good.

very good. Your humour is killing me.
Didn't think it would take long....

I really don't understand why someone would sell something 8 weeks after buying it!

I think it's adjustable 😀

Eighty eight one of the main reasons my mega is for sale is because im i. The building trade,i.e groundworks and its just that time of year were theres no work,and i have bills to pay therefore,its for sale,unfortunately,buisiness is crap this time of year for some trade!
m1zuno, apologies - no offence meant.

Some more consolation for you, eightyeight - only one person bid, I don't think you were the only one to decide not to, backing off just [i]might[/i] have been the right thing.

I know it's nothing special, but you usually can only just get the frame for £600-700, or am I missing something?
the fact that it's in the frames for sale section
😉
*Hangs head in shame*
Quite right chakaping, I was all flustered with the chance of a bargain.
