Cheers too far for me too!

Tony,I got the rear mech off ebay and its perfect.Thanks for your reply and offer.Sean.

The pictures look great,and of course the bike too.I would have increased the auction end time/duration. Add that you will consider a part ex swap trade for a more suitable bike,within ebay rules. You might try an add on Gumtree too. Hope it sells!

There might be some confusion,the link is to a live auction and you have bids,but now its a fixed price and or a trade on here? Is there a buy it now price on ebay? There are also contradictions in the listing/conditioning between here and ebay. Nice bike,clean and tidy,to the right man,worth...

Hi mapturner ,love the location my lady visted New zealand earlier this year spent a month touring in a camper van.She tells me you have real hills there you call mountains. A stunning place from the pictures,that I would love to visit! I am the other side of Derbyshire from Buxton,near to...

I have seen the seller,he has a fair few retro roadbikes usually for sale. In my humble opinion is a lovely looking bike. I bid on a tatty puch a while back and it made more than half what you paid. Try a google for puch,when I was looking I found a good deal of history,about the factory and the...

I finished the jobs had a few rides round the block,tweaked the seat and bars.Still some more cleaning and polishing to do but we all went a pedal round this afternoon.The bike rides nice and everything works too.I took a few pictures as promised! screenshot pc
