    Okay, it's a completely misleading title and it is yet another 'Make my decision for me thread'.

    Anyway, only saw this ad when I read this post
    Unfortunately, I was pipped, yes pipped to the post.

    So if anyone has a similar bike they're looking to offload, or can think of a similarly priced, similar spec new bike, I'd love (yes love) to hear about it.

    I checked Adverts and didn't see anything. Will post in Cycling Ads now.

    DFD.

    Hey I'm selling my Cross Check frame with fork and headset for e150. It would make a good single speed and is a better frame than the Tricross in any case ;)

    DFD, depends on how much of a rush you're in.

    I'm not routinely riding (rocking? rubbing?) my Tricross Single at the moment, but I ought to hang onto it until I get another metal-framed bike - I need something for occasionally hauling the kids around on.

    There's a whole tedious chain of investigation and decision making which I won't bore you with....

    Penexpers,
    I think I saw the advert. Lovely frame. Unfortunately, with my level of competence, that's all it would every be.....a lovely frame. I think I need a whole bike ;)

    I'm in no real hurry. It was going to be a bit of an impulse buy, if you know what I mean. If you do decide to let the Singlecross go, I'm the guy to take it.

    Does it have to be single speed. I have a geared tricross that I am getting a bit bored with. Was thinking of getting a single speed, but nothing definitive yet.

    Having a singlespeed is attractive, but not everything. I've PM'd you.

    I actually feel like I've lost some something.
    Hopefully Lumen sorts me out!
    Apologies if the title offended;)

    I think you would be in the cw or db class. Ask Joey and Baby for clarification. Hope this helps.

    Will we ever truly know who Joey and Baby are?

    The 2010 Langster is steel? It does look nice though - also less obviously an off-the-peg fixie :)

    @Tiny - how about I buy you that langster, and you swap me your Mercian for it. I can then sell my Tricross.
