EDIT::::GONE IN 2 MINUTES, HOBO IS ON HIS WAY TO PICK IT UP

I crashed this bike a couple of months ago and finally got around taking the bits of, now the frame has to go. THE FRAME IS DAMAGED ON THE RIGHT DROPOUT AND THE FORK IS F*D TOO, the headset is just a bit funny. See pics.

size: 59cm c-t

With another fork and new dropouts/track ends, you can ride a nice frame for peanut money. If that's your style, you can even try and fix the dropout yourself as it isn't broken all the way.

PM me, first to pick-up in Dalston gets it. IT'S FREE (but if you do end up fixing this for cheap, you are more than welcome to buy me a bottle of whisky)

hussy go wash your mouth, you shouldn't talk to people like that
then chill out
go ride your bike or something

oh and if anyone wants to contribute to this whole thing in a constructive manner, send Tommaso a message if you have a spare frame

Tommaso is my mate, it was me who told him to ask for advice on the forum because the ebay seller dodged all his messages to try and meet up, have a look at the damage and talk about it as he was prepared to pay the £390 for the scratched frame. Tommaso is a polite and decent guy and has been all over this thread.

Tommaso did not get his frame, Hussy still has not agreed on meeting up to have a look at the damage or to talk about the whole situation. Tommaso has attempted to sort this out between him and the seller before, during and after asking for advice on this forum. This was never intended as hanging out dirty laundry / mud throwing / witch hunt.

i love the future

can anyone close this thread now? seems like Tommaso found his man who turns out to be a woman who turns out to be upset about some things other people are saying which -in the future- can be avoided by closing this thread

oh, and welcome to the forum Tommaso
perhaps you can arrange to meet with Hussy on Central drinks this Friday, so we can all have this chat with him over a pint?

ouch... that looks bad...

ebay = market value (that's wisdom of the crow, right?)
so if the mint frame is worth £390, I'd say the scratched one (if it isn't photoshopped) is worth £250?

Holdsworth's gone, Luke's picking up the falcon soon ...

Holdsworth: nice lugwork, think it's about 56cm, reynolds 531, bb and headset OK, beautiful frame really if it wasn't that THE DROP OUT IS BROKEN which is why it's free, there's people who can replace the drop outs with track ends (=£60?) or maybe fix the broken one or you use chewing gum to keep your hubs in place

Falcon: found on the street, heavy

(would like to get rid of before next weekend. I'm east, around the corner of bike polo)

yes, figured that out too after my Quick Reply. Undo on those 1st dibs,where are the times you could trust prices on this forum? cheers for pointing out, miro_o and edscoble.

1st dibs
are you in London? how much if I come and pick them up somewhere?

Brian Rourke went for £304!!!

it did indeed and arrived by post yesterday for only £18
looking for a drilled fork now, on the road soon

i want a flying gate so bad

I want his shoes

Jamas
Looks a good deal at the moment. Got an idea of how much its worth? Good luck with it if you bid.

Ja Ja, move on already, let's all talk about other bikes, I was keeping a silent eye on that one.

In Flanders, they have a network of cycling routes, once you plan your route, you just remember the number of the nodes so you don't have to look at the map constantly. The routes are supposed to be fairly safe, slightly scenic yet not too much detour.
some guy made a web app for it, but it's in dutch and it sucks

hmm... sorry, wasn't fully awake before. I'm after the BJ. could I come and have a look at it?

ok, that's if pj doesn't want it

very interested. 1st dibs? will have to check if it's not too small for me but might make good polo bike. could I come and see it somewhere?

very interested in the Geoff but will have to check if it isn't slightly too big for me. does any one know where I can buy platform spd shoes?
first dibs if that's not too late. I PM'd you.

4th, if there's any point in even trying that... desperately for a frame to get riding again
