Cheers all!!!

Coogan its bloody shiny i tell ye

That 3 series looks pretty close.

I spose it depends on what its worth now as to wether it was a bargain or not……. Lovely welds

Frame number is on the stay and is 515 (15" frame?) 0292 (feb1992 then) 6160 (could this be the type if aluminium)?

No nearer the model tho….

"is that for blind people?"

Take it to the po their online calculator is worse than useless.

Prices appear to depens on weight dimension and lunar phase coupled with menstrual cycle of the attending operative…

My colleague wants me to join in
But i'm unsure if it is a sin
So i'll post on the net
Middleaged appetites to whet
And the go and go out for a bike ride

Best stw thread in ages

Pah weelie bins are so last year, smartie tubes on all four legs is where its at

Ive got an ngear jumpstop im not using if anyone wants it?

Send us a mail

Ive got a medion akoya (aldi sell them cheaply)

I paid £299 a year ago, for a 4gb ram dual core 15" laptop, windows 7, hdmi outs

And its got a 3 year warranty, its on all day and the wife usrs it constantly it still looks like new.

Brittish knights!

I remember my black an brown suede air maxs (leather tag left on of course)

I took them into school, a guy called ian poked them with a pencil, pop tssssssss

More like air min after that….

The bends by radiohead

Does that count?

it's already cost CRC the sale of one bike.

And some road wheels here too, went to ribble instead but that was because crc screwed up my brakes as well, even though i called to make sure they were as pictured….. They were not…

But i think its fair to say that this will be an error on marks part. He or his team leader will have a credit limit and parameters under which to use them.

The minute this started costing them money ( ie when adam sent his second mail, any inbound correspondance probably costs them £5 a time, phone calls more so.) he should have sent the tape, ended the issue.

It seems to me this is an individuals failure to understand employers business rather than a policy failure at crc

Mrnutt i agree on the big tasty that was awesome

Anyone remember mcds pizzas? I used to quite like those too bout 15 years ago.

The giant fcr 4 is very cheap at winstanleys cycles if hes after a small (46.5)

I got the 2 for £430 well pleased!

Chinny reckon?

So how many ebay based small claims cases have their been for small bits of bicycles then?

"but the nasty man said he didnt want to sell them any more, and and it might have been him in the internet as well…"

Bonk goes the gavell……

Please educate me as to the costs of the small claims court from sweden?

ok assuming that what everyone has said is correct regarding the differences between sales and auction outcomes is correct.

you are forgetting that this is not a house, or a car, but in fact a small piece of a bicycle.

all this flannel is irrelevant tbh, how many "you didnt sell me that saddle like you said you would" ebay court cases have you heard about?

any? er no

ebay can impose whatever t+cs they like, but they cannot and will not enforce them.

the albeit bitter truth is that the buyer could possibly take the seller to the UK small claims court, but if he wins, (and i would be amazed) he would incur costs that would be prohibitive to his initiating his claim in the first place.

"i lost the shifters"

"er ok case dismissed"

bonk goes the gavell

What do they call a court with kangaroos in it again?

It is fair to say i wasnt applauding the whole business just mocking the usual stw over the top reaction.

Btw psycle has bought bits off me, and been a generally nice chap, it is fair to say he has never eaten any of my children*

*of which i am aware

Tj

I could be wrong mate my undrestanding of it was that it was yours till the buyer receives it.

Receipt (signing for of the parcel) being the transfer of ownership bit.

Like any shop a seller can pull out of a sale if they want to, ebay might talk the talk in their t+cs but they cant enforce them.

Otberwise what happwns if your garage burns down before you post said bike bit, or it gets lost in the post.

Nope you are wrong the seller has the right to cancel the sale until the item is received by the buyer.

Which is why the item is still the responsibilty of the seller whilst it is in transit, until it hits the mat of the buyer it is the property of the seller.

And his to do with as he sees fit, cancel auction or not.

As has already been stated the buyer enters a contract by buying the seller does not.

cheap as chips and look great, also ride great too, i struggled to tell the difference btween them and the rc31s tbh

havent tried the carbon steerer ones tho, i had the aluminium steerer version think they were about £85?

or just check out my profile history

oh FFS!

it does do my head in how people still apply the fluffy, pink cardy, one for all and all for one, bikers help each other out, ethos to ebay?

if this had been a forum thing then you could apply your fluffy misty eyed moral rules, but the minute this went on ebay then it became a business transaction.

the seller has to pay fees regardless, it is his item to dispose of as he wishes even after the auction ends, and even if the buyer pays (which he hadnt at the time of the screenshot and angstily worded entry) he can still refund the payment and keep it.

how many times have you bought something and paid for it from a bike shop then had them pull out and advise that it is no longer in stock at that price, but is available in a weeks time for more?

why didnt the buyer use retrobike and buy the item from the seller?

because he wanted to try and get it cheaper.

it was silly not to put a reserve, and really silly not to make it an international sale as this would be your main customer area (europe and the states).

But it is just bits for bikes people, not organs for children.

Hmmmm dodgy moral ground here.

Up to you spose it depends on wether you can afford to lose the £50?

Are the retrobike lot kicking off then?

Link pls they can weirdos!

I once ran an ad on here and on retrobike, someone lost out on a stem and the vitriol ran to 3 pages…..

same year as techno techno techno

Thats odd i was just about to type the same thing.

Road bikes are the aesthetically better looking type, high saddle racy fast looking angles, the best looking bike i ever saw was at salcey forest visitors centre it was a titanium an carbon compact road frame with shallow drop bars and destickered carbon wheels, all plain carbon and ti cant remember what it was but no garish decals either, i stood literally dribbling.

The best looking mtbs are xc bike because they are the most similar to road bikes imho

Similar with women, ive dallied with racey fast ones but they ended in pain and expense, i much prefer the bouncey one im comfy with.

Tazzy that niners winning for me.

Well back to the second post paul weller is not great now tbh, but his first solo album paul weller still stands up well now i think, certainly amngst my top5 90s albums.

He was a briliant songwriter for a bit at least…..
