Right, have the GT frame up for the ridiculously low price of £430!!!

FFS the frame should sell itself. :shock:

Are people really that tight, or is it that in ignorance they are thinking "It's a GT...." and overlooking the fact that it's a stonking great frame at a great price, hell the DHX Air shock costs over £200 let alone the other bits...

I have it advertised on a few sites (even resorted to post in the place that shall not be named) also due to no bumping rule, the ad keeps getting shifted further and further back... so noone is going to see it.

It's doing my nut in, there's no way that I am/can go any lower but thats a friggin steal for an 'as new' frame.... what do people want? Blood!!! :lol:

Only ranting as I want to purchase something else (Hardtail frame) :lol:

    aah, i remember the old classifieds where we could bump away with gay abandon.

    errrr, that doesnt sound right but you get my point.

    even thats could be mis understood!

    pinbike is the absolute worst place to sell a bike (but pretty good for buying!)

    I am really suprised that it hasn't sold yet! If it's because it's a GT, that's plain stupid...

    eBay?

    LOL....

    pinkbike, you have to laugh at some of the PMs I have been getting:

    "Damn that bike is lush but I only have £300 MAX"

    "I want that bike, can I come view it?" (hes in scotland)

    Luckily I haven't had any kids offer RC cars or sweets yet :lol:

    Although one kid mistook an iPhone case I was selling for an actual iPhone, and asked to swap his bike for it :lol: Should have took him up on that... :P

    I've had my Dawg Frame on there at £180 for a wee while now (not trying to hijack your thread) which I reckon is pretty dam good!

    Anyway, I've had sh1t loads of PM's asking if I'll swap it for all sorts of crap. One kid even phoned me offering £100. When I told him to bolt he tried to tell me the frame was cracked! He was properly trying to bully me into just selling it for £100 too.

    1. I'm selling the frame. I know what condition it is in
    2. The pics show nothing to suggest it is cracked
    3. Why if it looks cracked would he be interested in buying it in the first place!?
