DM incoming...

Not to derail (although I started this thread so I think it's OK), I just saw this in the internet; a 29er BMX Cruiser with bolt-on chrome rear triangle. I can't tell if the front triangle is steel or aluminum, although I can't imagine a reason to bolt steel to steel in this case. I thought...

I believe you are correct, @PanoIgano . I'm just saying that I wouldn't blame anyone for going after that bike if the advertisement became common knowledge. Once it's out, it's fair game really, hence my desire for confidentiality.

Thanks, @Froglegz . DM returned. Another member has already offered to help, so I should have updated this thead earlier. As I said in my DM, keep me in mind anyway if someday you need assistance from USA. If and when this quest is successful, I'll do the "big reveal" on this thread as well.

By asking £260 on eBay, the seller is, in effect, offering a discount for RB members of roughly 23% (selling to members here for £200, which is 77% of what the eBay buyer willl have to pay). Subtract the 13% that eBay charges, and the seller ends up making roughly 15% more from a random eBay...

I just re-read my last post and I feel the need to clarify; although it may appear flippant, it’s just me trolling for laughs. If someone outs an auction on eBay, of course it’s “every man for himself”, and some auctions play out like shark attack feeding frenzies, whereas if someone were...

No problem, @Betsy , I know you're trying to help. I've bought and sold many a bike frame on this site to and from many different places; UK, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Poland......................<if we've done business and I've left you off this list, feel free to chime in>...

Naturally, and again I think I speak for most of us, we'd like to get it as inexpensively as possible, but I think your best bet to determine value is to google "mountain cycle san andreas" and you'll find them occasionally on eBay, Pinkbike, Craigslist, Kleinenzeigen, etc. For eBay, just...

Thanks for the info, @Betsy . I'm in USA, so I'm guessing it's even more expensive than shipping from Austria to UK. It's in Austria's "panhandle", and looks to be about 15 km from Southern Germany and 60 km from Northern Italy, so perhaps someone is passing by Innsbruck on the way to either...

Seeking help with a MTB purchase in Austria, 30 km West of Innsbruck. Willing to pay for entire bike and let you keep everything except frame and seatpost. Naturally I'll pay for all shipping/petrol costs, and am happy to return all favors. Please message me if you can help. Thanks very much!

...and not just ANY encounter with ANY bull, but an obviously one-sided romantic encounter with a very large, very amorous, and enormously-well-endowed bull at the precise moment when you are bent over picking up your little dog's poo while wearing your little red shirt. (there seems to be a...

Even if the frame has only minor dents, it was a bargain. Parts can always be replaced, paint can always be stripped, but the frame is forever. Good score!

During an earthquake, the pics come into sharp focus.

Society has determined (and rightly so) that fresh, aromatic dog poo that viciously attacks your olfactory senses like a rabid hyena attacks its prey should be picked up and disposed of BEFORE it has a chance to track down, torture, and kill your nose. Gone are the days when dog poo would...

That didn't last long. Buyer is obviously a body buider who wants to lift heavy weights.

A quick Google search yielded this:

Tell me about it! I can go fishing without a fishing license, but not without a Fisher NDA. Even the nuclear reactors in my neighborhood are having to use fusion energy in order to transition away from fission! I'll just......ah......I'll get my coat.

Thanks for setting me straight. This is news to me. For the past 15 years or so, I've only known of the black one with black chrome and the teal one with bare chrome. This site is where I get most of my information, but arguably there is a lot that I don't know. I should obviously have...
