Ebays new suggested prices for sellers - Dawes Galaxy madness 2025 edition

[LondonClassic]

I have zero problem paying a seasoned pro bike mechanic a living wage. Paying a hipster to continue being a hipster is another thing. Its like paying six quid for a latte made from Peruvian monkey jism served up in a 'collaborative workspace' where the walls are lined in OSB like its a feature. You only encourage these guys to keep being surplus.

It would be a fair price...

If it weren't for that "verging on structural" toptube dent.

It would need a couple of hundred spent on it to get it sorted and set up right.

I'd recommend holding out for cantilevers and 700s

Your attention to detail puts my naive optimism to shame.

My eye is drawn immediately to a bent fork, dented tube or cracked dropout.
I appear to overlook a ripped saddle, baggy chain, salt- and pepper-pot top and bottom bracket, perished tyres, bent wheels and awful paint.
Luckily my colleagues are less forgiving on this front.
