It's more amazing what people will pay!

I was watching an [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=83164 ]SLX shadow+[/url] on there the other day and someone actually paid £49 (inc postage) for it...used!

No idea who flatoutcycles.co.uk is but i looked at 4 compomants on his ebay shop it looks like he might be selling used/worn drivetrain componants removed from customers bikes instead of binning them

3 were ****ed and the other was a seatpost......

A mech with nearly round jockey wheels described as a few scratches but works 100%

Casette described as great condition but even with the craply focused photo i can see burrs and sharkfinning on the 5th cog in

And that chainring deathstar

Making mental note to avoid flatoutcycles.co.uk

Have you seen the other chainrings they are trying to sell and the price they want?

I've got a granny ring if you need one. Better and cheaper than that!

If people are really willing to buy stuff like that I need to start getting some of the worn out tat I have in the cellar on eBay...

I could retire on the contents of my garage at flatoutcycles prices for scrap.
