Beauty of a bike LD, what size rider would it suit? (not for me :rolleyes:)

I'd think that the standard for that type of bike is about five foot-ish in terms of rider height.

Linky

However, the saddle adjust-ability will make it work for a taller rider. The current owner is approx five foot six / seven and it fits her.

You sure that you're not sourcing this for a real challenge at the CX champs?!?

Not being a bike thief I'm not entirely sure! It aint built for speed but rather comfort. Any bike locked in the city is fair game. The answer to your question, I suspect, lies in the quality and usage of your locks. Buy it and see...

Hi there,
I would be interested in purchasing this bije. I have found that they are available to buy online for 290 euros brand new from ashcycles, so with this in mind, I am willing to offer 150 euros. Please let me know if this would be acceptable.
Thanks


I am making this offer on behalf of my girlfriend who is not on boards, I will PM her email address

Hi Majestic0110,

This bike is actually brand new and has only ever been cycled once for approx 1km only to get it home!

I have spoken to the owner (on whose behalf I am advertising the sale here) and they have advised that they are willing to accept €250 and no less. This includes the helmet, pump, basket and bell.

I consider that to be a very fair price.

Hi there,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I understand what you're saying about it being brand new, but your friend wouldn't be able to offer me the same security and back-up that a shop can, should the bike develop a fault in the future. Therefore, I would not being willing to offer 250e as I can buy this bike for 290e directly from a shop, and I would have added peace of mind.

However, I would be willing to meet you half-way at 200euro. I am not prepared to offer anymore on this, let me know what your friend thinks.

I spoke with them. 220 and you have a new bike, helmet, pump, basket and lights. That's their bottom line.

done, we'll take it for €220. What do we do next?
