"opposition"
Why is opposition in quotes?

You say that like quoting is a bad thing 😳
OP ignore this lot taking the piss repeating themselves. Back on topic, you've probably not sold it because you're asking too much for a niche frame with no warranty.

Do your research, Jamie

it seems he didn't actually "pay" new price for it...
That'll teach me for Jansen Badger Crown Race Scottish Independence......
The OP's trying to 'make a profit' from a warranty replacement.
And what's wrong with that? It's not new new, but it's never been ridden or built up, it's still worth more than a properly 2nd hand frame.
(Still asking too much for it though)

Zero warranty, 50% RRP for me.
[i]And what's wrong with that?[/i]
Nothing in itself but the OP's expectation of how much profit was in there is at odds with the people who use the STW classifieds.
If he wanted to sell he'd reduce the price further - he's not 'losing' money over what he'd have got for the 2 year old frame.
what if I throw in some lentils?
No shit Poirot.
I'm detecting this thread has veered off topic.

Worryingly I'm not actually convinced it has.
If it was a steel frame I think this would a different story entirely. But titanium frames are:
1. Much more expensive
2. Seem to be rather prone to premature failure
I must admit to being tempted when Merlin were selling off 26" ones for c£750 a couple of years ago 😉
I'll give you £450 for it. Right here. Right now.

Looks like someone's made a load of diagnosississis this week.
He's doing one right now...asking me to bend over!

Everybody's been faxing me their feet to look at, that's why...

DrP you should Dutch auction him and offer 449...
DrP, you do realise it's niche and likely to crack?
Can I just say, fair play to MountainMutant for not having a proper flounce after all the piss taking.
DrP, I'm not sure if you know this but it looks like it doesn't come with a warranty.

NO WHERE has this been made clear....ever...

I just sold my wife's bike. A Whyte Kings Cross. It had done less than 5 miles and was MINT. Was happy to get half what she paid for it. No different (except it probably won't crack)
^^^^^^^what have I said wrong?
OP - what size is it?
19".
Ooo, just right. Is it Reynolds or Columbus steel?
19 inches of unobtanium
No warranty
Titanium? Ah, I've heard titanium can be a bit fragile. What's the warranty on it?
Lifetime warranty (if your this guy)

Titanium? Frames for life they are
Well they must be else you'd see people flogging off warranty replacements all over the place
Probably
So the warranty's pretty decent then?
No the warranty is not decent only 5 years.Buy a Trek and you get a proper warranty.Have a 09 Hummer never realised it was only 5 years warranty when I brought it.Nearly out of warranty.Lovely bikes never worth the money these days compared with whats on the market.
Does anybody here know what day it is ?
I came in for a look, on a Tuesday I think, but I don't seem to be able to get out 😐
