Thanks for the linkage. Been debating about one for a while, so noted for the future. Good reports.

Shame that fixed have put in a 25 post minimum to even view the for sale section. It used to be good to take a look through there.

Yeah, but I think a lot of stuff was being sniped by people that didn't contribute.

But is it really so hard to contribute 25 posts?

If thats your kind of thing, its not hard. But do I want to contribute 25 for the pleasure of seeing whats being sold for what price? Not really. It was a far better barometer of pricing than ebay, thats for sure.

Your choice I guess... I'm sure however in the space of less than three weeks, with ony 1 - 2 posts per day you can easily get there...

Or you coud pm a mod and ask nicely.....

I was looking at that one there myself, but I was a bit put off by the re-enforced section where the head tube meets the down tube.
Looks a bit sus to me.
