    Would offer 120 for a quick sale?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,141 ✭✭✭maxamillius


    Could collect tomorrow?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,971 ✭✭✭fat bloke


    I think the asking is fair.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,141 ✭✭✭maxamillius


    I'd go to 130 but unfortunately that's as far as my budget will allow!

    Sure let me know,thanks!

    What year is it and where are you located?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,971 ✭✭✭fat bloke


    No idea what year it is. I'm in the Firhouse area.

    It's a good bike, it's not a piece of sh1t. It works, it goes, it stops and it's actually nice to ride. It's small money. Other than that, I dunno what else to say. I've only just put it up for sale cos I've a cross bike coming that will double up on commuting duties

    Sound,I need a bike for commuting so I won't argue. It looks to be in good shape.
    You know what size it is? I'm about 5 10

    Could possibly try collect tomorrow evening if that suits?if not can you hold off till next week? I'm away Friday and not back till Sunday.

    That's fine.

    It says medium on the frame, but I'm 5 11 (and a half) and it's my size.

    I'm gonna leave the ball in maxamillius' court and then give you next dibs if he doesn't take it. Fair is fair?
