I’m not up on Klein prices but that seems a very good deal just for the stuff on it let alone the frame?

A local auction usually offers far better buyers prices than eBay.
Fewer people will find the item, they won't want to register, and then there's collection to sort out.

Stuff rarely sells rock bottom, because there will be some resellers looking through it* - it's so easy to find the sale value just on your phone, they might bid up to half what they think they can sell it for to a better market.

Yes, by the looks of it. They've whipped the ruddy pedals off too - you can't even cycle it home! Probably hoping to make another £40 if they were XT or similar

I reckon he'd throw in the pedals if you offered £900

Hi folks, this is mine.
Thought I'd have a try at the auction, placed one bid and won it . Figured the risk was minimal given the frame and parts, so had a punt - thought there would have been more competition if I'm honest. Was a 3hr round trip to go and fetch it.
My wife expressed an interest in it when I got it home, but even with the post all the way down, it is too big for her (just).
It'll likely be split, given that people rarely buy bikes for proper money, and the sum of it's parts will exceed what I would take for it whole - but as I was breathing life back in to the gummed up shifters at the weekend, and having given it a quick clean I figured I might as well advertise it complete for the time being.
I removed the pedals to transport it and haven't put them back on yet, but they, along with bar ends! can of course be included the sale. I'm keeping the Flintstones bell.

Good flip. Never bought from an auction house. Always put off by large fees and collection only (normally miles from me) but that worked out well. Good luck selling it on, it’s a good looking machine.

You got a bargain, even if you cost the trip at £100


If it's 92 though, how come xtr?
Late release,
Evolution overtime
Recent build?

The paint looks amazing for a 33yo
