Are you having a laugh?

That ocr looks to be the model from about 3 years ago. The OCR4 is a basic entry level bike and this years model I saw in a shop on Saturday brand new for 400! So come on its with about 100 and no more!

Incorrect iregk. The OCR4 was Giants Entry level model up until 2006. It retailed at €459, and did so in Cyclesuperstore up until a couple of months ago. It may be possible to pick it up discounted for around 400 euro if shops have older stock. The incidentally sell for between 250-300 on boards, demand is large for entry level road bikes this year and we have seen a couple of these exact bikes on the for sale general board. This years entry level model is the Giant SCR4.0 which retails at €539. If you saw this for 400 please let me know where as I have several people enquiring about entry level bikes for triathlons and if so I will take 2 at that price.

Rasta,

I'll give you €133.56 for it. Bargain. Well, it's what you paid for it 5 months back, isn't it?

lol is all I can say. I wouldn't piss on your 100 quid if you offered it to me for this bike. Good luck in getting one for that price. Although I knew you weren't interested in it anyway, just posted to ruin the thread you morons. It's also the 06 model

kmick

Says on that thread he got it for 90 and it was probably stolen. Rasta shame on you.

RasTa

Yes yes, it must be stolen. I also eat babies and punch blind people in the face.

Sorry quigs I ment this years model as being the SCR4.0 and I saw it on sale little over €400 if memory serves me right in Hollingsworth cycles. I was in Cycle Superstore later that day and it was infact €539 there. Not sure if hollingsworth are having a relocation or closing down sale but they had extremely little stock so could well be an abnormal sale price if you get me.

Cycling seems to be coming back into play of late for new comers, thank god and demand for entry level bikes was huge last year and even higher this year. Most shops are constantly down to their last 1 or 2 SCR4's. I would pay 250-300 for a good condition '06 OCR 4.0 but not the one on sale here!

you're trying to sell a bike for 300 quid despite telling everyone on the board you only paid 130 quid for it 5 months ago, that you weren't sure if it wasn't hot, and that there were a couple of previous owners.

Yeah, the lads who replied to you are morons.

Ghost Rider

In fairness, I think he said the opposite: that he was fairly sure it wasn't stolen. The assertion that it was stolen came from somebody else and since appears to have been taken up by others as if it were gospel truth.

I don't know what the story with this bike is but I do know the difference between certainty and speculation.

point taken, but it was more the moron part that was annoying. he's told people he's the 3rd owner of a bike he got for €130, and tried to sell it to the same people for €300 a few months later. He was pulled up on it and he starts calling people morons. There wasn't really any need for that?

I suggested the bike was possibly stolen. I just can't fathom how someone could in any good conscience buy a bike from someone who didn't ride it and didn't even know how to change gears on it, for one third of its new price etc.

I didn't say Rasta stole it. I just know that I wouldn't have bought it for that low a price without asking for proof of genuine ownership etc. If it looks too good to be true, it's probably too good to be true and all that.

Rasta bought the bike, then bragged about the 'bargain' here. He then came to ask for help fixing a problem with said bike, which was offered freely (by others). Now he's back here looking to actually profit by selling the bike to the same audience? And he calls the collective 'morons'?

Would you buy a bike from this man? :rolleyes:

I'm sorry Rasta if you don't like my input, but I don't like the way you've failed to clarify the history of this bike and seen fit to smack anyone who asks awkward questions....

I buy and sell bikes here every so often, but I could tell you in detail the history of each and every one of them. As someone who's had bikes stolen from me in the past, it's what I'd like to see all of us doing - asking questions when a bikes history is unclear.

The profiteering is another thing entirely....

I'm out.

What has, what you would do got to do with anything? That's what pissed me off so much. People on here accusing me of buying stolen goods without any proof or knowledge whatsoever. Expect the bike to be sold this week anyway, few people from buyandsell are coming around to have a look.

Close thread.

Sometime you can pick up a genuine bargain, it seems neither RasTa nor the original seller understood how STI gears worked.

I know I've picked up bikes in the past from people who had an intention to get into cycling but ended up too lazy. These were bargains but definately not stolen.

As for selling on, it's what the bike is worth, not how much you paid for it. (Although generally this value will have gone the other way, often more than a seller is willing to accept ;-) And while €300 may be a little too high, I don't think you can reasonably force him to sell it for €130 just because he got a bargain!?

Bad on him for eating babies and punching blind people though.
