luverly Surly, £375, 11 hours to go and no bids. very nice spec, but 61cm. possibly worth it even for the components alone...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SURLY-STEAMROL...em280245152521

andyp · 11th July 2008

That Surly has been on ebay before at least twice in the past couple of weeks. Both times it has 'sold'.

fred · 11th July 2008

slack hipsters?

SimonC · 11th July 2008

Potentially a deal for some trispoke wheels - use the front and sell the back one for virtually what you paid for the pair?

thanks for that, i hadn't realised

Are some people idiots? Why finish an auction at 7am on a Saturday morning?...

It failed to sell on a Saturday then he put it up immediately on a 24 hour listing and it sold the next day for £375 or so.

help a new kid out: is £350 a good price for this thing? seems almost too good. am i missing something?

(nobody bid at £375 -- i offered £350 and he'll do it)

andyp · 12th July 2008

It's got good kit on it and Surlys are bombproof so I reckon £350 is a good price. The condition looks okay too.

ryanhbowman · 12th July 2008

thanks andy, thats what i needed to hear... i'll let you know if it falls apart the first time i ride it. fingers crossed...

You declare your interest and hope that none of your fellow forum-ites is a c*nt.

it's the ebay/forum dilema put it out there and let people know you want it hope there nice, but at the same time you run the risk of showing something they might have missed

I'm loving this one. I may have to jump on the the lo-pro bandwagon soon. I'm trying to hold out. Desperately. Thankfully my financial status doesn't permit me to make lavish impulse purchases but I'm sure I'll end up justifying it somehow in the end.

A pain...true. But I've been eyeing up Tynan's Tomassini (also currently with vertical drop outs) and have lo-pro lust. Unless that tubing is particularly hard to work with I wouldn't be totally put off by getting some track ends on there. Given time I can pretty much justify anything in my head. Convincing the girlfriend's the hardest part...

Ray Inkley Reynolds 531 frame in nearly new condition. Chromed stays. I emailed the seller to ask if he'd post the frame, but he says it's collection only. He's in Derby. Someone must be nearby, or have a friend who could pick it up on their behalf. It's only fifty quid just now. Someone's going to get a steal.

No promises but my dad drives a large van to Derby once a week so if anyone is interested in this and wants it collected PM me.
