Hi guys
I'd really appreciate some advice on getting a bike off eBay.
I'm selling my Mercian to get a more practical bike that I can comfortably fit mudguards, a rack and have a slightly more upright position (due to back issues). Most interest seems to be for the frame anyway! I have been looking at Mixtes and found this Claud Butler on eBay which looks like a great price for a lovely bike. (I also have an eye on this Dawes but the first frame seems a lot nicer)
With that in mind, I'd be looking at keeping most components from the Mercian build and putting them onto this CB - is that doable? Or do I need to get full measurements for everything on the other bike? I didn't build my bike so a bit clueless on that front...
Thank you, thank you in advance! :)
