That's what I needed to hear!

Also considering this https://www.gumtree.com/p/husqvarna-motorbikes/husqvarna-sm-125/1141254247 is 13 years younger, has a way more confidence inspiring ad and is only £100 more. Paint is a bit off putting but other than that...

This is embarasing but need all the advice I can get. Took a punt on this while at work with only a couple hours to go and ended up being the only bidder.
Wondering now if it's way over priced. Have been looking and seen similar models go for double but I didn't clock the year in the original ad. License plate check says first registered in 2001!
£1250 sounds like a lot for a 14 year old bike. Wondering whether to just be a cunt and leave it.
Plus what he says about the lights not working makes me worry the electrics are shaky.

Such a good shout! definitely interested in you don't have it @Chak

thanks for the advice all, very helpful! it's in pretty good shape by the looks of it, so don't want to bash it in too much if can be avoided. @inchpincher Finsbury Park, cheers for the offer

Slight problem, I've just won a bike on ebay I wasn't really expecting or ready for, as in I've not done my CBT yet. Don't want to be a complete ball bag and leave the guy hanging though.
I'm thinking just do the CBT asap and go and get it, but it's in Colchester and apparently has dodgy indicators and brake lights so would be a hairy baptism of fire/very illegal ride home.Might be able to use the work van to collect it, but how simple is it to transport a bike in a van? does it need to be fully up right?

Conti (Ciocc) made with interesting twisty tubing and loads of pantoe'd bits £500 posted from America. Pretty nice if that's your bag.

second dibs if you still havz

What about yamaha dtrs as a first bike? not the cheapest but from the little research I did when I was thinking of doing my cbt was rated really highly as a first bike. Definitely likely to get knicked though I would've thought.

Just bought a mustek a3 scanner of ebay, having no luck getting it to run on my mac mini, 10.8 os. Have downloaded the recommended drivers but it's not having it. Anyone got any experience of Mustek scanners?

Need to replace a drop out on a frame. Old style geared long drop outs, not the new type vertical ones nor track. Is there a go to frame builder who'll do it? Seem to remember someone mentioning a company that began with an 'a', that would do it for £60...

How much did the ciocc go for!?

Paid a forumer in classifieds a fair amount for some components that haven't arrived. Was told parcel force were dropping them off yesterday (Monday) still no sign. Seller hasn't logged on since posting a message to me saying when the stuff would be delivered. Already paid up through paypal. Wondering how to proceed, have sent two PM's to the seller since yesterday afternoon and haven't had a response. Not looking good.
*communication mix up... I thought they said it was going to get dropped off at mine Monday morning, what they meant was they were dropping it off with parcel force Monday morning. They hadn't got round to it until just now and had just dropped it off at the depot or whatever (Tuesday afternoon) so the tracking number wasn't live yet. Me being overly cynical!
thanks Scilly anyway

Trying to build something up with odds and ends. Got campag wheels. Does that mean I need to use campag cassette? Got campag mechs, will they work alright with shimano shifters?
Cheers!

Cheers Cagimaha, how can I check that when I go to see it? He says it's been looked after, I've no idea how to check that
