I was even moved to go against my natural apathy and email ebay about this - it's annoying when something simple and which works gets replaced by something complicated which doesn't. Just like fixed gears and SS...

I have an idea that's probably why I love 'em.

That'd leave a lot of spare cash for some half decent mechs too... :)

I have a Harry Hall road frame similar to that (bit older and bigger) and IMHO its a very good frame, seems well put together and straight, rides nice. Just to give an idea I paid £56 for frame and fork last year (ebay) and it came from Manchester.

It works sometimes for me + the other guys post,
I hate ebay, we have 22+K feedback and we don't really bother with it anymore now.
jumping through 10 hoops to do something simple is just a waste of time.

Dogsballs how much do you think it should go for? It could easily double or more if you have that many watchers...

I reckon you could put in a listing 'if you don't bid over 24 hrs before I will assume no-one is interested and remove it from sale' to get things moving. kind of like an unoffical reserve. Sure I've seen that somewhere...

To anyone who's looked at this, or is considering it, DON'T FUCKING BUY IT....IT'S A DOG!!
My mate actually got this from grahaminlondon last week or so for £102, but as soon as i took a look at it i noticed there's a crack in the back of the seat tube, just where the seat tube meets the cluster at the top. As soon as i confronted graham about it he said he'd just refund the money, although he was adamant he couldn't see a crack, even though a monkey could point it out. This is probably the third or fourth dodgy frame i've seen first hand from graham. He's either being really cunning or is just pretty dumb and knows fuck all about bikes!!
The cheeky bugger hasn't mentioned anything about it in the listing, and of course, no photos of it.
So yeah....STEER WELL CLEAR OF THIS FUCKER!!

all the stuff he sells on ebay is his crap stuff he doesn't want. he has heaps and heaps of nice stuff, just gathering dust in storage.

also, i'm tempted to get those wheels for the track, can i grab them at the shop?
