I did see that, yeah. I was just dreaming though with earlier comment.... I'm in Perth and not really in the market. Just have a soft spot for Big Kens.morini wrote:Did you notice one of his other bikes? It might be worth a look. Big frame.

In the eye of the beholder, and luck as to number of bidders on the day/week. Not that it's not a 'nice bike', but I just can't see $450 in it. But, a completely subjective opinion.ldrcycles wrote:That got $450?! Why does that never happen to me!?!

Say What? Is that meant to sound more or less an innocuous thing?... with the exception of 1 scratch as per picture - caused by bike rake slippage.

It's as though the identical scratch caused by some lowlife keying it when locked up in town would be worse. The buyer does want to know if it's scratched, but the intent and where it occurred are a bit boring.HappyHumber wrote:im_no_pro wrote:This one made meWT??

It was more the price that caused me to be entertained. It wouldnt have cost that much when it was brand new.wqlava1 wrote:It's as though the identical scratch caused by some lowlife keying it when locked up in town would be worse.

I love the gel seat cover. Speaks volumes about the type of riding the bike does.

Concorde with Columbus SL in Vic. Train wreck of a front end, needs some serious TLC and dollars spent to right all those wrongs.

I think the guy who asks the first question is a bit of a peanut. Most of his questioning would be answered by the photos anyway. I think he's just throwing around some bike terms he read on the 'net to sound good.Dan wrote:not junk - perhaps a touch overpriced, but a nice Daccordi, nonetheless

The first question certainly flushed him out though. The seller I mean. He might be open to an offer?HappyHumber wrote:I think the guy who asks the first question is a bit of a peanut.

Actually, my comment was about the person asking the question - but I guess it kind of rings true both ways.morini wrote:The first question certainly flushed him out though. The seller I mean. He might be open to an offer?
