Hi everyone,

Stumbled across this forum today whilst researching a potential eBay purchase......

.....seems like a fun place to find all the info I need and continue my search for a perfect Kona Hei Hei, GT Xizang or Marin (Litespeed) Team Titanium.
I used to ride every day back in the '90's and had each one of my most wanted at some stage and want to now get back into it, but modern bikes just don't do it for me - upside down thumbshifters is the way I want to go!
Anyhow hopefully I can find what I'm looking for here (along with other things I didn't know I was looking for)

Cheers for now,

Matt

Hello Matt and welcome.

There has been a bit of a run on Hei Heis recently - I don't know if this 20" is still available on here (or how tall you are!), but it hasn't been declared as sold.

Hi Pip and thanks,

Wow. Your Hei Hei looks just perfect, what a great find.... I'm looking for a 18" too so I think the 20" you link to is tempting I will sit it out..... In your post you say you had almost given up searching and were going to resort to importing one. How long had you been searching? I've been looking and bidding on ebay for about a 2 months now..... Don't want to miss too much of the summer not that we've had much of one so far! Hopefully this site will give me more oppourtunity.
Fingers crossed.
Matt

Cheers Matt,

I had been searching for about 6 months, so I reckon just keep at it.

I'm at work right now with limited internet access, but I'll drop you a message later with a couple of search engines which may be of some help.

Hello mate,

One thing if you choose to venture onto the board and especially the For Sale thread... Lock up your wallet somewhere VERY safe beforehand. A very dangerous place to be indeed :shock:
