the bike isnt exacty unknown though, bought on here for £230 and from the pics is clearly in very good condition. if it had been in a garage or shed for years and needed completely overhauling £80 would be a good price.

oh well :roll: suppose it was offered on gumtree for that price so the mistake was made early on

Mmm I'm not seeing the same pic as you? When was it bought off here? show me the advert please.

as said, if the seller was happy with the money then all is good.

but since you asked, the picture is not great, but i can see a cindercone in very good condition, pleanty of meat on tyres, no scratches or chips that can be seen, driveside chainstay looks clean, decals on he saddle would suggest it has not been ridden much, ubrake still very shiney, stem decal crisp, no discernable rust, grips still have ends on it, seat post looks to be rust and gouge free, no rust anywhere that i can see, no scratches to forks, in fact i cant see any thing amiss other than perhaps a non matching crank arm, i really cant find anything to suggest wear or abuse at all. Why what is it you can see that would suggest that this is an unloved bicycle?

the other one posted was in far worse condition with an asking price of £200

Ok I'm obviously looking for different things it's worth any kind of money to me if it's factory original she just pmd to say she's happy I've said I'm happy to back out.

i take it back , crank arm clearly no mismatched and the bike is a belter,

it is a pity the seller came here as an after thought after putting such a silly low price on gumtree though :cry: :cry:

I have a feeling billinjah's next Karma give-away thread is going to be a pretty big one...........

Some jealousy came in against the eventual buyer.

The seller asked for a price and was offered one and thought that's okay with me. Hell haven't most of us had that shhhh keep quiet but I've got a result.

It stayed within the forum and someone saw a bargain if it hadn't been quick fingered billinjah some other member would have. I personally wouldn't feel bad if I got a bargain and you slow coaches had fingers to fat too press the pm button super slick
