totalshell Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 age is nt the issue. take a good look at it and the owner. how much work has it done? is that borne out by its physical condition? allow for replaceing wheel bearings, tyres, plastics, plugs, filters, brake pads, oils. with that knowledge is the asking price offering you value and one that you are willing / able to pay.. for a 5 yr old bike most of the depreciation is gone so bargain hard and you wont lose much no matter how long you own it.

firedfromthecircus Posted November 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Is that the one in Bathgate on fleabay ? That'll be the one. Bidding has gone crazy since it was mentioned on east coast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabby Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 That'll be the one. Bidding has gone crazy since it was mentioned on east coast Wouldn't pay too much more than it is at the mo. No sure if Paul Ando has got his Scorpa sold yet, worth finding out, was Neil Dawson's old one. I hear the East Coast is busy....busy with lurkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only been registered a couple of days One day you might just wish I was still a lurker As for the bike, thats about what I was thinking. I am prepared to go a bit higher, but not too much. If you have any leads on other bikes about similar money I'd be happy to hear them. Maybe see you at Gifford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockyrider Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 fftc, Have you looked at the classified section from Trials Central? I've always seen interesting bikes there from time to time. At least you'll know it's from another member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
