£400 after you take in the dive to manchester to pick it up :smiley: Replaced a few parts parts now. Keeping an eye out for a frame to build up

+1 for pink bike, got mine from there and a few parts

Like I was gonna say, there are some friggin morons on there, who the hell sells a stinky for £400  :undecided:

I find some stuff in good nick and cheap. Some other parts are ruff as f**k and asking top dollar. Once in a while a bargain pops up
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

So when you guys say you bought these bikes cheap, what's cheap?

I was £450, all others on these pages are £1000s bar the stinky, which I recon about £700

I got my frame for £170, and my 888 forks for £60!!!, both fully functional and good condition

I wouldnt mind a pair of duel crowns, lift the front of the bike slightly and give a little more travel

 :shocked: Cheapness.. Mine cost me about 1.5k to build!

Cheers Sam   :smiley:

But then cars came along. And i started spending my money on that instead. Really need to buy myself some roof bars and and get riding again!

Anyone been up to Aston hill in wendover? Where i normally ride, if im going too.
