A friend of mine wants to sell her Ribble R4 MTB. She no longer uses it and needs some cash for a mot.
It's fitted with stx group set and Gt forks. I have been asked on how much it is worth. But I'm not sure. I have looked at ebay and only find Ribble race bikes.
I am looking at buying a 19" Kona Explosif from 1992 (in Gold colour). Wanting to know how much to offer the seller? The bike looks pretty much in it's original condition with all original parts, apart from the chain has rusted (badly) which looks to have affected (dripped onto) the chain stays (where the chain sits) as this area is discoloured.
From picture I have I think it would some need new cables, new tyres (I have some spares in the garage), new chain and rear cassette and of course blooming good clean/scrub.
I will be buying blind (I won't be able to inspect bike in person unfortunately). Idea is to have this as a project to use as a 'hack' when going out with my kids.
I was thinking of offering no more than GBP50? Plus shipping will cost me approx GBP30. So GBP80 all up... (bearing in mind I will need some new parts).
Any advice before midnight on Saturday (UK Time) really appreciated.
Hmmm, looks like there were 2 versions of this around. Mine is the lairy flouro version.
Spent a while recovering this (late 80's / early 90's) Bike. I think there are some pictures of it on here. Bought it because I wanted one as a youth. Pretty much everything in date. It's in nice condition. Any ideas of price?
