nice way to sell a bike

[retroyetirigid]

I'm watching it too

 

[Trebz]

I dare someone to ask him:

1. Is is a Raleigh?

2. Does it come with custard tyres?

3. Is there much oil left in the Clunge Pipe?

 

[mynchiboy]

Oh yes! I'm all over this...

I've always yearned for a bike with adjustable frame size

 

[Spudly]

Well he seems like a nice bloke, why brand people as saddo's for having it on their watch lists, surely ebay are the saddo's for allowing people to 'watch' items?

And the end bit made me laugh, its a 17", not sure what that equates to on a normal frame, err thats seventeen inches mate, thats how frames were always measured (and the only way i know of tbf, yes i know frames are measured differently these days lol)

And imo £80 is too much even for the nice condition its in, id happily give £30 for it

This should get to the bottom of this! I'll post his responce.

Dear chigwah,

If I bid will you put the seat post in the right way round?
What about inserting the rear axle all the way into the dropouts?
What's 3x7?
What's the actual Size?(measured from the center of the BB axle to the top of the seat tube)
Regards,
Sado

His Q&A is starting to get interesting!

Being from Canada, I don't actually speak the Queens English, can one of you translate his response for me?

He basically gave the same answer to both my questions;

Q: I'm gonna watch it until you install the rear axle all the way into the dropouts and turn the seat post the right way round. Then look out! ps. It's got 21 speeds and FYI- frame size is measured from center of the BB axle to top of seat tube. Warm regards, Sado 04-Nov-12
A: FYI?????? sorry, no bids from Beaver-Beaters, peppers, pepsi's or chugs. we know where the seat tube is measured but if i asked for a 17" framed bike it would be no where as big as this and would not equate to a bike suitable for a 6' person.(we have a person like you in our Village, they call him Idiot)thanks.

I think they are all derogatory names for canadians.

i.e you are famed for your beavers which allegedly you like to beat.
Pepsis is another derogatory name for Canucks as you allegedly favour pepsi over coke .

A chug is a beer swilling native American, which i suppose extends to canadian native indians also.

he lost me on Peppers,

however im sure racism is against ebay policy, and if he were to be reported i reckon his listing would be pulled.

oh village idiots are idiots who live in villages, i dont think he likes you very much

 

[gibbleking]

im 30 miles from this guy..i could knock on his door at three in the morning and ask him some more questions if you like...

I thought it was a dyslexic Tug? (or possibly another Jonathan Woss joke for you!)

Am watching with interest now!
