Whilst leafing through the pages of the forum, I hope he doesn't leaf snowdrops behind when he picks the bike up.

Or Weedol over

Anyway who planted this idea in his head? Didn't he twig it wood not work.

The Doc is branching out into the tree surgery business

I hear that he's going to call the bike Sterling Moss.

Update:-

The seller never did get back to me with an address to pick the bike up.
After a good few emails and a couple of ultimatums, I've given up.
I've just left negative feedback - the first time I've done so, and I hope the last.
Shame really, I was looking forward to seeing my pig in a poke...

Further update.

I have just got back from getting the bike. Indeed it is a BSO. It's been out in the garden for a while, so the pedals are somewhat seized. It does have a reasonable set of alloy wheels on it. Well worth a pound, but not a lot more...

 

[accountantpete]

We need closure on this one Doc - pics please!!!

 

[Night Train]

Was this it?

Or maybe this one?

 

[Black Sheep]

Pictures are indeed needed.

 

[TheDoctor]

Here's the pig in a poke. It's every bit as rusted as it looks, and the front tyre appears to be mouldy. I'm gad I didn't pay more than a pound for it. Having said that, I'm going to be rebuilding a very old MTB soon, so I may be able to use a few bits. If I'm very very lucky...

I've ridden worse

(no really I have)

The base frame says it's Chromoly and doesn't seem an entire disaster, and the cranks and canti's look salvageable if not particularly good.

 

[potsy]

Might want to put a drop of oil on the chain before you go touring on it Doc

 

[TheDoctor]

You think?
I have ridden worse, I suppose. My Daewoo Shuttle springs to mind. That was (and still is) truly dreadful.

What's the lock for?
