Weird isnt it I spent three years looking for an RM Altitude then one came up ...involved a drive from Derby to Exeter and blow me the same weekend another came up in Atlanta Georgia...shipped over this time though. The weidest thing was they are both 1993 and both ex Team bikes :shock:

I think it probably worse when something you have been looking for for years turns up as a real bargain, right on your doorstep...
...but you only notice it minutes after someone else has just beaten you to it :facepalm:

The relay system is interesting but is it really necessary for bicycle bits when an entire bike can be couriered in the UK for around £15? I suppose some people don't want the hassle of packing stuff on ebay sales - especially when they see it as old junk (= retro treasure!).

The big problem with couriers is boxing a bike, because most people who won't post won't box.
Does anyone have a recommendation for couriers who'll take an unboxed bike or box it themselves???
