Constructive advice for selling:
- Take lots of pictures
- Write an honest description of the condition
- Price the items at the cost you would be willing to pay for them
If you meet those three criteria, you'll sell your bikes without a hassle. If not, well, see above.
- Take lots of pictures

Sorry, not at the moment.

G'day. For sale: a 58cm 2010 steel stock Langster frame (destickered) and forks, bottom bracket and crankset, headset and quill stem. Measures 58 x 58. I'm selling this on behalf of a non-forumenger friend and at 184cm tall, this fit him perfectly.
The good:
-Reynolds 520. Solid...solid as a rock
-Headeset and bottom bracket are smooth and cranks still have plenty of life
-Rust free
-DestickeredThe bad:
-Beater condition. Scratches and nicks aplenty, and a couple of dings on the top tube (the largest of which is about the size of a thumbprint).
-Removing the quill stem might take some work. I've loosened the bolt, but it doesn't seem to budge. That said, I haven't made much of an effort, and the seatpost came out easily and there doesn't seem to be any rust on the frame, so it might just require a bit of skill and patience (both of which I sadly lack).The ugly:
Asking £80Sold, £5 of which will go towards a forum donation. Feel free to tell me if this is too ambitious of a price.Cash on collection only from E9, near London Fields. First come, first served, arranged by PM. I care not for dibs.

@Gruby I just thought that given your experience with fresh slate, you'd have a little more understanding that 'shit happens'.
-
He [Gruby] sold me a Nitto 125AA 380mm bar, arrived bent and he has since ignored me. I stupidly opted to pay by personal paypal transfer, thinking that because he'd been on here so long and hadn't seen any negative feedback.

Oh shit, there I am again, looking like a self-righteous prick.
This guy really gets my dander up!

Fiddlesticks, sorry it didn't work out for you. Good luck with the search.

I'm trying to decide what's worse: that it might be his or that it might be mine.

Look for this in the 'Bikes I Regret Selling' thread by this time next week.
On hold for @DaraO, @-=Mike=- is next in the queue.
Also, I just noticed what appears to be a white hair in that fourth picture and threw up a little in my mouth.

Notts County up for sale. I've got a crumpled up tenner in my pocket. Very tempted to make an offer.

I like the sales of insanely overpriced 'custom built bikes' (often from BLB) where the seller lists the RRP of every single part as though we'd actually give a fuck.

For sale: a 2009 54cm Dolan FXE frame and Alpha Q CS-25 carbon forks. Bosses for waterbottles, mudguards and a rear rack (taped over in pictures), and clearance for 32c tyres (as pictured, fully built). Well looked after with no dents, dings or gouges. There are some spots of cable and lock rub and pebble dings, which do reveal it's age a bit.
Top tube is 54.5 ctc, seat tube is 54.5 ctt. I'm a shade over 183cm tall and it's ever so slightly too small for me, hence the sale (that and another incoming bike and ma wife...yada, yada yada).
Asking £100 for the frame, forks, FSA headset, seat post collar, and 68x103 ISO bottom bracket.
And also, the components (sold only with frame):
+£50: the all nearly new 110mm Deda Newton stem (16°), 42cm Deda Sfida 'Carbon Wrapped' anatomical bars, and Condor Strada carbon seatpost. Condor levers and bartape also included, if you like.
+£45: black Miche Primato crankset, 49 tooth ring, 165mm arms and SRAM 1/8" track chain.
+£20: Like new black Tektro r539 47-57mm calipers. Plenty of life left on the stock pads, but long term I'd upgrade to something like Koolstop.
Sorry, cash on collection only from E9 near London Fields. If it doesn't sell within a couple of weeks, I'll probably reconsider. No splits for now; if the components don't sell with the frame, I'll hold onto them. Saddle, pedals and wheelset not for sale.
Please let me know if I'm off on price or if you'd like more pictures, or if you'd like to hear my entire life story.

Oh my, that's an impressive looking toolThanks Max, will let you know. I should probably just buy one of those, actually.
-
Yeah, looks like it. If not, it's annoyingly close. The typical (Italian) bike part conundrum. You're welcome to take it and give it a try.
-
Perhaps this would work then. It's Miche, but I was using it on a 12-28 'nolo 8 speed cassette.
-
Is that the 9/10 speed one? I have an 8 speed one lying around that you can have, but I suspect the sizing is different.
-
Thanks dudes, that's mighty capital of you both. I have a lockring remover, but it doesn't seem to get a good grip. I'm still recovering from a couple of broken fingers so I'm also struggling to get a good grip. #chartitycase
I'll be in touch in case no one takes me up on removing it themselves. Again, much appreciated!
-
Please take my Surly 3/32 18 tooth cog and lockring. Plenty of life remaining.
The catch: I need you to remove it.
Collection/meet-up near London Fields.
Thanks,

That black-orange fade looks great.
No comment on the others as I fear reprisal from the Wigan Street Mafia.
