Re:

I actually did lol at that cat comment....

Braze-ons?

I'm being serious when I ask this so please don't roast me but just how bad is a steel seat post?

If you were round the corner I would come and look at the bike and after you had punched me in the face for the low offer I'm sure we could have a cuppa and strike a deal.... Buying blind is such a pain though....

You're not buying blind, you are buying from a well respected, trustworthy and honourable member of the retrobike community.

Welcome to the site by the way.

Thank you for the welcome! As you point out I've just joined so I've no idea who this chap is and how reliable he is. No offence meant!

To be fair I like the attitude he's responded with and if he's still interested in dealing with me after the insulting initial offer I'm still interested if we can agree a delivered price we are both happy with..,

Definitely not selling it to you then as you have far too many bikes as it is...
