[Closed] What makes me giggle on classifieds.

any trial....

The thing is, uploading pics to pinkbike is really easy. Here, no so much.

V braked single speed from the parts bin £500 coz it's "pimped" apparently...

Email me for pics, also try and guess my location.

Lazy links.....

Usual marks from cable rub

Usual marks from bike rack

In my book this is just carelessness.

Usual marks from the odd crash, fine. In fact I like the story they tell.

I suppose light cable rub is ok, as it let's you know where to patch the frame.

Doesn't compute. Never had the slightest bit of trouble, and am not especially technologically competent.

Some things for sale!!!!!

It is fiendishly difficult. You didn't get the memo about the classes then...?

"Only issue is ****, which is an easy fix"

Jammy.....let it go....let it go....!

😉

"CLEAR OUT!"

three things for sale

"Only issue is ****, which is an easy fix"

Always makes me smile. If it's that easy a fix why didn't they do it before the sale to increase value/chance of selling. Nearly always on a used car ad.

Not quite a giggle, more of a cringe.......

Dibs.

I would say rentons for sale threads but then, they're never actually in the classifieds section.

'Why won't my (thing) sell? Here's a full spec, pics and price...'

When a classified only user pops up on the main forum asking if anyone knows such and such...as they bought something and it's not turned up.

"CLEAR OUT!"

three things for sale

All of which are 'for spares'...

Anyone remember those church shoes?
The same thing resisted every time it drops off the page for weeks, if it hasn't sold in the first day it's too expensive or too niche in which case someone will "want" it or search for it.

And the "wtd [something that only costs 2,50 from an actual shop]" I mean seriously how much are you hoping to save by buying 2nd hand?!?

Those that abuse the WTD ads...you know who you are.

"email me if you are interested as I don't get to check the site very often."

Maybe check a bit more often if you actually want to sell the stuff?

No photo as no marks etc.

I'm one of these but equally think taping a mtb frame is a bit like giving a doberman a perm to make it friendly.

It's a tiny bit of tape on the headtube.

It's a tiny bit of tape on the headtube.

Equally it's a tiny bit of wear on something designed to be thrown down a hill with 80+ kg of inept meat on top of it.

Let's face it, it's a cosmetic concern otherwise you'd be cutting an internally routed frame in half to helitape the inside and reduce structural wear. As a cosmetic concern you'll find people on both sides of the argument and neither will be right.

My SX Trail was cut most of the way through the BB shell by cables. (and it had a pretty massive BB shell; on some bikes it'd have been right through).

But also, there's different flavours of damage. If I ride a bike into a tree, that's fine, that's honourable earned damage. If I scrape it in the garage, or it gets cable rub, that's annoying. It's like the difference between getting a black eye in a boxing match and getting a black eye by hitting yourself with the fridge door.

careful now tom . there will be a passive agressive email coming your way shortly !

'Testing the water...' It's either for sale or it isn't. This really means 'if I get an offer near to what I paid for it otherwise...'.

I miss the red Race Face cranks. The classifieds have never been the same without them.

Can someone try and sell some, or something equally as outdated and hideous, for a frankly ridiculous price? Then re-post it every other day for the next 18 months?

Just for old times sake.

I could spray paint an old set of cranks red and list those of you like binners, I guess if I used a really old set I could describe them as "unique retro custom red cranks, no damage visible, pedal threads worn as usual"
