No bids, less than a day left. £100 but not sure what the reserve is. Seller says seatpost isn’t stuck

Fuquay Mountain Bike | eBay

Rare hand built medium size, (see photos) mountain bike by the late Greg Fuquay. Working order but has not been used for a while so needs a clean and grease. I have had this bike from new in 1996/7. It is a great bike, but deserves to be used and not stored. Collection only Glemsford, Suffolk.

My god. Who buys a Fuquay and puts that rubbish on it!?

It’s like “check my new Patek.. I’ve stuck it on one of those faux-Animal Velcro straps, free with MBUK”

Looks like a nicely built frame.

They’re beautifully built frames. Super rare too. Greg Fuquay was an absolute master frame builder. I’d be all over it but I already have one. If it sells for under a couple of hundred quid it’s a proper bargain.

Collection only or I’d be having a go at this. Always wanted one

Always wondered how you pronounce this.

I say Foo-key.

That's how my mate says it, and he's got one, so I'm probably wrong.

In my head it is always F*xk-you-ay. But I say ‘Fur-kway’ out loud.

Its really unappealing for a very appealing marque, isn’t it? At least its still being used.

Ah crap, thats pretty local to me... but maybe a bit small

However the lack of the matching forks (Gumbo?) is reason enough to pass - plus the bin fodder (but likely perfectly serviceable) kit that is hanging all over it.

I always thought "Foo-Kay"
