    has anyone ever tried to sell full bikes at these?

    I'm going to be bringing a few I think. A carbon road bike (hongfu fm015 isp 58cm iiirc) that needs a few things done to it (nothing major - new bartape, saddle maybe a stem), a hinault pictured here needs new stem, a genesis day one singlespeed CX bike 58cm.

    And 2 track frames both 58cm square iirc- one custom dutch made, one an old bob jackson.

    Also have a 2015 giant propel advanced 2 I'll need to sell at some point, but I wont be bringing that unless theres interest.

    Might be interested in the hongfu fm015 but probably be too big

    You've a forward slash at the start of your video id (/VwfUPNZGDlY), that might be what's causing confusion on the touch site.

    A few peeps suggesting selling whole bikes so it might be worth sellers accepting PayPal or the like for electronic payments. Might be worth a quick "Accepts PayPal" or "cash only" wee scribble on sign.

    Yeah. That can be park out on the day.




    So far looks like about 8 sellers selling everything from RobFowls rear entry Tri Suit to Beasty's KoM's to full bikes.

    Please remember to bring a memory stick if you want one (or more) of them. I've already had some PM enquiries, but pricing will be determined by interest on the day....

    I'll be there as a seller.
    Still rummaging but so far I'll have the following for sale...
    A new pair of mavic aksiums, saddles, some loose tyres, cassettes, stems, carbon seatpost, shimano 5700 105 compact crank, bar tape, summer mitts, spd shoes, bell helmet, various ss team jerseys.
    I also have about a dozen replica watches (iwc, omega, rolex, mont blanc etc) and a signed framed photo of Lance Armstrong which I will have concealed on my person.
    The secret code word to peruse these quality items is "See you next TUE'sday"

    They d realise that Beasty's KOM stands for Beasty's Kingdom of Mountains and not some silly online yoke? It will be some usb that takes that!
