    HI all,


    Looking to buy a 2nd hand TT bike in the UK and looking for recommendations for a company to deliver and ideally give it a look over.(If thats possible but not a deal breaker) Has anyone had good experiences with this?



    Thanks

    Ive used Shiply.com to bring bikes over from uk.
    You basically enter the details of the collection on the website and different courier companys will bid for the business to bring it home for you. You choose who you want to use. Ive got bikes / frames over for less than €100.

    They wont check it over for you though, its a case of trusting the sellers description. Buyer beware or caveat emptor or something like that...

    I’ve never engaged a courier myself but did check it out. I may have some names saved on the computer at home so can check later.

    Got most of my info on lfgss so check there. My recollection is that it’s quite a bit cheaper than €100

    As said already courier won’t inspect a bike for you but someone on lfgss might if it’s in London. Lot of decent blokes on that forum.

    Shiply quoted me about 80 quid for a wheelset from a few different couriers. I promptly stopped using them.
