Going Going Bike

Gregorio - glad you like the design and ownership stance.

Totally agree re. search functionality. It's not where it should/needs to be. Hope to have this sorted shortly.

Can we agree to disagree on the design side? I like it and the feedback has been generally excellent. Hopefully when the search improves the design issues you have will fall away.

Sorry you did not like the spoke card idea...I will have to look into it. The aim was for everyone to get some nice spoke cards which they would like to keep in their wheels. Didn't quite work out.

Finally (btw - thanks for all your comments!) totally agree about marketing at races/clubs. We're gonna be doing a lot more of that. If you see us, please introduce yourself.

Sorry if the design comment is a bit harsh but I think it just seems a bit of a mish-mash and detracts from the overall experience.

When I lived in France I used Troc-Velo http://www.troc-velo.com/ a lot and think it is excellent-geared for club-members buying and selling (I think they have a larger club scene in France tho) and nice, functional design with a pretty good pricing system that although not-auction based, allows the seller to show price reductions or whether the price is negotiable. Overall I think this would be a good system to start-eBay is renowned for shill bidding and stupidly high prices and although this might make them a lot of money, a 'classified' style site with buyer/seller protection would be much preferable platform.

Good luck with it anyway!
