Don't you hate it when that happens?

Noooooo!
Why, when I'm skint, does a peachy condition example of my first proper MTB turn up on the market? I don't think I've ever seen one for sale before. Similar models of a different year, but this one is the exact one I had in 1990 in survivor condition.
Even if I had the money SWMBO would probably get medieval on my ass!
Maybe an early Xmas pressie to myself? Regretted selling my old one ever since that sad day in 1994 :cry:

Note how he doesnt show a link to it or mention its name, he doesn't want any of us pinching it fom under his nose

Good Luck Bren

Maybe I should! At least then I won't be stewing over it. If someone one here gave it a home for a while I could buy it off them down the line! Hmmm...

Buy it. You will kick yourself if you don't
The end

This.

Sell another bike if you have one to pay for it and make space.

This line suggests to me that you can afford it, but you know you shouldn't.


You should.

You guys make me smile
All the comments here have already been through my mind.

It's slightly too much cash for me to splurge in one month. As its a fleabay listing it doesn't give me enough time to sell a car, some car parts, bike parts or my grandmother. If it was for sale on here I would attempt to pay the seller a deposit and buy myself some time, but alas...

There is a best offer button. I may try being cheeky. You never know.
Otherwise this is going to be the one that got away. I'm starting a new job next week and Christmas is on the horizon. Need to be sensible really :roll:

I don't have a CC
SWMBO has one that's maxed out :?

It's British made, brazed 531, DX equipped...
