    Kicking myself !

    I've been bidding on a beautiful bike on ebay. Just what I've been looking for.

    So what did I do when it was about to end ?....fell asleep !!!

    Could have got a bargain too.

    Today I'll be paying closer attention to another one.

    Thanks mate.

    Yeah, I put down a maximum figure, but really I should have put a higher one....cos I would have gone higher, by quite a lot.

    I lost it by 10 quid.

    Be careful out there Graham, there's quite a lot of 'fake' stuff with bikes.
    What I mean actually is cannibalised.

    Good advice Peter.

    Fortunately I've previously owned the identical model, so I know what to look out for. Very distinctive.

    hawk cycles near where i live you can get a brand new bike for under £80, 21 gears and it looks ok but you get what you pay for,
    Me and ems has bikes, infact Ems bike is a very good make and lots of money if you brought it properly, no what i mean, anyway i have been thinking about changing both of then for these fold away bikes so they could fit in the car easy but the cost is stupid i think, so for now we will stay with what we have

    I have my step-daughter's fold-up bike in the garage, and the ex used to have one. They're ridiculously heavy though.

    This bike model I'm bidding on costs £1100 for a new one. The one I missed went for £160 !

    I paid £400 for my last one and sold it for £500 (same type).
