    Forgive me, but Northampton to High Wycombe is only about 80 minutes by car, assuming you have car would not be easier to collect it? Or ask someone you know with a car to take you to collect it?

    You would be better to hire a car it's not that much dearer + you get to check the bike out in person - God i drove from Glasgow to Maestro's shop in Bognor Regis 3 years ago 850 mile round trip.....your only 60 mile away

    Or if the OP can't drive then just get the train, pick up the bike and then get the train back?

    Ask him to meet you half way ?

    I'd not buy a big purchase off ebay without a chance to inspect it first. (which explains the weekend break to Windsor when I accidentally won a MTB I didnt think I would. Legoland plus a new bike. Result !)
