dibs on the mash pm'd

As it has been brought up multiiple times, I would like to clarify that, if done properly, I would have been perfectly happy to pay. But there was not even an implication of charge, and as it wasn't done properly, I felt I shouldn't be paying.

Whoops, I was unclear. I dislike Evans because off the rude staff and high priced. I find the staff at Bike Workshop very pleasant, and the prices are rock bottom. And I am a fan of Rapha

The one in Bristol city centre. And I have a couple of reasons, first and foremost, I prefer to support my lbs (Bike Workshop on Colston Street in case anyone is interested), but also because I find the workers often to be quite rude, and also it is quite expensive

It has come to my attention that I have portrayed myself as being quite rude to the sales assistant. I can assure you that I was perfectly polite and did thank him for his help

So today I bought an old Claud Butler track bike, and the man from whom I bought it obviously wasn't very experienced with bikes and as I was cycling it home, the lockring loosened and fell off.
My house was about an hours walk so I thought I'd see if any of my lbs' would tighten it for me, but being a Sunday, they were all closed so I had to face Evans.
The sales assistant seemed nice enough, I showed him the problem and he said he'd take it into his workshop and see what he could do.

He came back out about a minute later with the lockring tightened. I said thank you and was all prepared to leave the shop when he told me he had tightened it with a screwdriver and hammer. I was annoyed because it's potentially damaging for the lockring, but I ignored it, and again started to leave.

He then said to me 'that'll be £11.50 please". Thinking it was some vain attempt at humor I asked him if he was joking, to which he replied "no" and continued to fiddle with the cash register. I asked him what it was for, and he replied with "labor charge". Outraged, I said to him "you can go back into your workshop and loosen it or I can walk out your shop without paying" he then mumbled something about there being no point in him going back inside the workshop, so I left the store.

Although I did manage to get it done for free, I still felt it should be shared as this will be happening everyday in Evans stores across the country and a lot of people will just pay the money and leave. The cheekiest thing about it was, he didn't even do it properly.

The bike is now, back home, with the lockring tightened properly by myself, with no noticeable damage.

Right guys,
I'm looking to sell/swap my custom built SE PK ripper fixed gear bike.
I'm preferably looking to swap for another bike preferably fixed but no bmx's or fgfs. I'm open to anything so offer me what you have. I could also add a little cash for the right bike. Preferably in Bristol, but I can travel for up to an hour outside of Bristol to trade, unless you're in London where I visit quite frequently
The bike is in fairly good condition with a few minor scratches and dinks but nothing major.
I don't really know what this bike is worth, but considering I'll be replacing the bottom bracket if it sells, £330 collected from Bristol or £350 couriered/delivered (of course including a complementary donation to the forum) is the lowest I'd like to see it go for, otherwise the sale is just not worthwhile.
Apologies for the bad photographs, I'll take some more in the day timeif anybody is interested.
No brake on at the moment but I'll install Weinmann/Tektro crosstop if it suits
I don't often visit the site, so for a faster reply, email me at ebass@live.co.uk

SE x DC PK Ripper frame 54cm
