BARGAIN OF THE WEEK. What have you had cheap?

[jonnyboy666]

got my 92 explosif for £250, but sold some disc brakes i wasn't using for 100, and the modern xtr v's on the bike and the rear mech should go for about 100 and i have replacement bits from my parts bins to refinish the bike so "technically" the bike cost £50.

that's how i convince myself that i didn't just spend £250 on another bike i don't reaaly need!! so that is a bargain to me!

 

[nporternz]

got some prototype magic motorcycle cranks for 10GBP, Zaskar LE with Manitou 3s, full XT and cook bros cranks for 20GBP. Kona AA with Middleburn RS3's for 35GBP

that all i can think off currently

Bargain?

Not sure if these were a bargain or not? I wanted the Stumpie for my son and always wanted a Proflex since seeing one in GT cycles in Southampton years ago. And a Ritchey front hub. £40 the lot sound reasonable?

£40 the lot sound reasonable?

Not had any real purchased bargains in the past week...ive been buying bling for the pace build again, and bling doesnt seem to come cheap!

Harryburgandy has kindly offered to send me some gold lock on grips FOC, so much thanks to him for that!

"technically" ,i bet we all use that term to justify our little purchases ,i know i do

My great buy this week has to be the bikes worth of XT v's from jez
£20 and your hard pushed to find any wear,i mean ,is jez secratly the patron saint of retrobikers in human form?
He always seems to have great stuff at v' cheap prices,& the goods look new

On ebay I use the logic that, It was an auction, some one else bid £1 less than I paid, therefore if things go tits up, I should be able to sell it for minimal loss.

£1 for a pair of Specialized SPD style pedals from Liddlington car boot nr. Bedford, last Sunday.
