Random question

When people are selling bikes. Why do they always say the the bottle cages are not included. Why not just leave them on there? £15 bottle cage isn't going to make much difference on a £1000+ bike?

Bit random I know

Light bulbs I can understand but when a mate moved into his newly purchased house the sink and bath plugs had gone.

I always keep water bottle cages so I don't have to go out and buy more. That's just something you supply yourself, as buyer. My vision of a stunning water bottle cage for a bicycle may not be the next person's idea of a stunning water bottle cage for a bicycle whatever.

I have never heard the words "stunning" and "water bottle cage" used in the same sentence! Maybe thats because mine cost £3 from Halfords....

I only ever buy a second hand bike if I think the bottle cage is worth it!

 

[Peteaud]

Mine cost more than £15.00

The downside is if they get wet, they melt.

Mine are so worn from being used you wouldn't want them if you paid £1000 for my bike- besides they match my bottles and you REALLY wouldn't want them!

Seriously - people take light bulbs with them when moving house?

@SpokeyDokey depends on the cost we have 19 bulbs excluding outside ones, and depending on the bulb they can be expensive when you haven't got much, but I think a rule is you leave as what was fitted, especially if rented.

Don't know if it is still the law, but I believe you are supposed to leave at least one light bulb on each floor when you move.
