Re: Principia

This thread seems a little dead, is this still for sale?

Haven't heard from him for a long time... so, dunno..

Well it's still in my loft.
It was actually bought for me as a 50th b'day present and as I was 65 last week it's 15 years old and virtually unused.
I'll have a look at it over the weekend to check that it is still in pristine condition.
I don't really know of it's current value other than it cost well over £2k .
Hence my initial asking price.
Thank you,
Steve

Re:

Do you know what size it is? It's never been mentioned

 

[dezza]

It was classed as far as I recall as a size small.
I'm 5' 7" and it was okay for me.
I prefer my bikes to be on the smaller size.
Thanks
Steve.

Must be a small great bike! Seems I had exactly the same one.. untill I crashed, :-(

 

[andybkay]

I have to ask, are you serious about the asking price? These generally swap hands around the £3-400 mark.

Re:

Hello,
Thanks,
I wouldn't be prepared to sell it for £300 - £400
It is in mint condition and did cost 5/6 times the above albeit many years ago.
Dura Ace/ Kysriums and not to mention the Frame.
I guess I had better pull it out of the for sale forum.

Steve

Re:

Hi,

£1500 is very steep for a 12 year old bike, regarsless of usage levels.

I'd suggest listing it on eBay for a small amount with a £1500 reserve, people will bid and tell you how much the people think it's worth.

Re:

Hello,
Thank you,
Yes,I now realise that's not a realistic price and that I will need to scale down my aspirations/expectations.
Thanks for the advice.

Steve
