Hope they don't have Hoogerlands TdeF bike from this year, it'd need some markdown for the scratches!

Would an ex pro bike not be ridden into the ground? Yes , plenty of servicing and maintainance but it would have many many KM's on it , all done by a 'horse' on wheels.

So? I can understand about the groupsets (although they are changing cassettes and chainrings often enough not to be a problem) but the frames shouldn't have any issues and it's a great way to get an awesome frame in a low price.

Where is the price list?

AstraMonti · 02-12-2011 10:06am

Sorry, have no clue. I should have said that I am expecting it to be low. I think somewhat around 50-60% (maybe even more) of the retail value would be a fair price.

Cape Clear · 02-12-2011 10:07am

Is this above board?

Lumen · 02-12-2011 10:09am

He was selling 404s with tubs for €750 before. I can't recall any of the frameset prices.

I think Blorg bought some and had no issues with them.

Ciarán Power was given one of the Ex HTC Bikes - think he's going back racing.

Fair enough. Their website does not give a lot of information about them. Just being cautous.

Tenzor07 · 02-12-2011 10:52am

Looks 100% to me, can't wait to see the full list of products for sale once he gets the Webshop up and running fully....

Chips Lovell · 02-12-2011 10:57am

Right, I think it's time to remind everyone that even suggesting someone's business is not above board is a pretty serious allegation. Establishing who's behind a business and their bona fides is quite easy to do and there's no place for wanton speculation. No more of this please.

Absolutely! I know the guy behind this personally and I've seen some of the stock!!
I think the website has only recently gone live and I'm sure it will be updated soon!

Junior · 02-12-2011 11:00am

Just to clarify, Ciarán wasn't given a bike by HTC but by Kinetix Products. I wonder are they putting a team together ?

I've bought wheels from this seller before, and he is a total gent. He also gave me a frame for free one time because it had a dent in it.

Quigs Snr · 02-12-2011 10:05pm

Yup second that, dealt with this seller before... totally legit.

redzone · 03-12-2011 12:01am

Repeat what the above posts say.

I bought a turbo of this lad only last week. I was in his premises on Heather road. I'm not long into cycling and don't know much about pro kit but he has some serious top end stuff there.

I found him to be a sound fella, nothing was a problem or a stupid question. He gave me a good deal and threw in a few bits for free without me even asking.

He did mention that his website is only getting going. But have no doubt he is totally legit. I will definitely buy from him again.

joemc99 · 05-12-2011 9:54am

I recommended this a couple of weeks ago but it got removed, not sure why as people recommend CRC, etc all the time.

Because your post began with:

A friend of mine has just launched a company...

Boards doesn't allow you to promote your own business or any business that you have a connection to, i.e. owned family members or friends.

I've removed the rest of your post. While no doubt well intentioned, it still falls foul of those rules.

For future reference, just PM the mods if you've any queries about decisions we've made.

Yes, completely legit seller, he had some of the frames there also when I purchased, some big names by the seat post and they looked mint.

Seller also loaned me a bike box to go do the Marmotte despite barely knowing me. Good guy.

joemc99 · 05-12-2011 1:04pm

ok, fair enough, I understand. Thought it might be ok as he is starting out, but I understand.

What are the warranties / guarantees like on used pro bikes from this retailer?

guaranteed to improve average speed by 3km/h or your money back

dermur · 05-12-2011 9:03pm

I can vouch for that guy too. Got a set of zipps from him with DA cassette. Very good nick & haven't had any problems yet.

el tel · 06-12-2011 11:01pm

I was very interested in

buying a HTC team bike couple of years ago from him but had just shelled out on a new bike a month or so previously. Would now love something flashy with a bit of provenance so am keen to see the site go live.

fat bloke · 20-01-2012 5:56pm

Check it out!!! Just back from this shop and picked up some flash pro kit for myself!!

I now have the EXACT SAME .... <ahem> bottle ..... as MARK CAVENDISH and his team mates!!!

I was looking for bottles of all things, earlier and tried these lads, and I also fancied a sneaky nose at their pro gear. Mother of Jaysus -it's a proper Aladdin's cave of shiny carbon treasures! Unfortunately all my meagre budget allowed for was a bunch of water bottles and some recovery bars and gels. In fairness a box of 20 recovery bars for a tenner. A box of 30 gels for another tenner, and the bottles - i know they're only feckin bottles, but they look great and if they hold water then I'll have nothing to complain about.

Savage selection of wheels down there too, but all tubs so no use to me unfortunately, though I adore those dura ace C24's

.

Anyway, much as I'd love to be bleating about the new Di2 S-works/BMC/Giant I brought home in my boot, I'm happy enough with my accessories

.

Deffo worth a look.

25sean · 20-01-2012 8:27pm

I think you need to talk to Paul first. Possibly not there on a Saturday either!

25sean · 20-01-2012 8:43pm

thanks.. probably a good thing.. more stuff i do not need to buy!

P D · 06-02-2012 1:45pm

Well i bought Eisels SL3 DI2 and a pair of RS80 training wheels (for now )

The kit is in as new condition and is about 60% below RRP imo, thing you have to remember is its all high end stuff to start with. Sound guy and fair , NO bull , it is what it is .

You weren't trying out your new toy around Blackrock a week or so ago by any chance? Copped a HTC coloured SL3 out of the corner of my eye.

What are the rs80's like?

It's your employer that does BTW - it's nothing to do with the retailer, and as I'm sure you are aware it's complete new bikes only;)

Looking at the prices NO. This is a scam.

Kinetix is a legal site (as many posters have already pointed out)
