without trying to stir...if that is how your wheel sits in the forks...your forks are bent.

Seems a bit steep tbh, £400 and the frame is dented, (forks prob. bent), chipped, etc...
Just as a reference, I sold something very similar about a year ago, maybe check it out.

the frame and fork i would say are worth at least £300, the extra £100 is for the headset which is hatta swan njs and the bb which is sugino also njs.As for the dent and the scratches the flash on the camera makes them lok worse than they really are

I take it all back then...;D

though you have a better chance of selling it if you took another pic...I looks dodgy like that...
Nice frame though and it's not a bad price, like you say the headset is not a cheap item....

yep, don't get me wrong this is a nice frame (with heaps of scratches and dings) but you can get a brand new bridgestone for around 600 notes. Look what this sold for: http://www.lfgss.com/thread4028.html

It's bit too expensive and not mashed up enough to make a nice beater and too scratched up and dented to make a serious track beast.


Johny, please take a break and think it through.
It looks like at least a dropout in your fork is furked - stretched or bent and it chips like Vaz's job on a bad day.

Nice bike apart from that. And the size.

Is there's a reason why you're selling this so quickly after acquiring it? seemed a bit odd.

I got the bike about a month ago to see how it was to ride before I blew big money importing one from Japan and it turns out that I prefer the ride of a modern track bike so I want to sell this one.As for the price Im open to offers.

The frame is dented, it's not worth 300 pounds.
NJS is a myth dude, wake up, Vivalo is not even recognized anymore due to faulty forks.
Be fair to yourself and everyone here and price it right.

BTW... Tika's Vivalo, awful?... you ride a fucking leader covered in stickers..

wow. everybody entitled to opinion obv, but as Johnny says he's open to offers, and if people think it's priced too much for it's condition then fair dooz, I'm sure if someone likes it they'll make an appropriate offer. And if people think they one bike is an awful colour thats their opinion too, especially if it's in response to a question! no need to get so personal tho eh

Not a dodgy sale at all, I can vouch for Johnny as can a lot of people on here. People buy bikes they like the look of, ride them then decide they don't like them and so sell them on. And if people make mistakes in pricing (as I have done in the past), it's better to point them in the right pricing direction in a friendly, non-sardonic manner (as some people already have done in this thread). Otherwise it's just unecessary pissing off.

Good luck with the sale dude

There's no sardonic manner here, at all. Various people shared the same opinion that Johnny's bike is overpriced, it is also dented, and by no means you can justify to price a bike
for looks rather than quality... and try to get away with it. Here. And he's breaking the rules.
The right way has been pointed out but instead the OP referred to Tika's bike as being less valuable (by £150!!!), than his... which, once again, it's fucking dented!!!!!
Alone, this^ shows how much about bikes goes on around here, it's more about looks, and skids.
Lawl.
But seriously, good luck with your sale.
