At the very last minute I decided against bidding on ths nukeproof mega:

(http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nukeproof-Mega-All-Mountain-Enduro-Bike-Black-Large-Rockshox-Monarch-Downhill-/251208923469?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item3a7d37f94d&nma=true&si=EpCmJrIYuSJ5cTaTsyuRIqStv%2Fo%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557)

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!

thats a lot of seatpost showing

I think it’s adjustable 😀

thats a lot of seatpost showing

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.

I’m very interested and Manchester based, will PM you on pinkbike

Hope trade picks up.

Eighty eight,frame wheels and reverbs gone so only bits left., hey didnt think there was just saying like,hopefully ill be on thr trails soon with something else,

Lesson learn dont build a bike so close to winter,an buy 1 in spring

Oh, ok. On the lookout for a mega that’s all.

Ride Gisburn, Lakes and N.Wales, so might see you about!

You love it wish youd seen ad earlier as it would have safed splitting,lads pickin stuff up tuesday if all fails i’ll let u know,
Well ill defo be a deggla and gizburn anyways,

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 might have been the right thing.

Eightey eight message me on pink just incase the buyers a no show,has it does happen and would you be interested in full biuld or emil is in profile,time r slow so covering all angles.

Sometimes my gramma is really poor,lol

Still on the lookout for a mega and spotted this

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

😉

or am I missing something?
