Dahon folder for sale SOLD

[Oldhippy]

Excellent condition and serviced. Selling for a resident at my retirement complex. £200. Does everything it should. Collection from Herne Bay only.

Is that a sturmey 3 speed?
And it's a folder: couriering doesn't get any easier, surely?
I'm v interested but at some remove from Herne Bay.

 

[Oldhippy]

I believe it is 5 gear hub. Not indoors at present so can't check.

 

[fozy tornip]

If the courier hurdle is insurmountable then good luck with sale, etc.
If your buddy could see his/her way to putting it, folded, in a box with lashings of bubble wrap please let me know.

 

[Oldhippy]

I will ask her tomorrow.

 

[Cycleops]

Good buy that. I imagine you could also add 'One elderly lady owner only used it for going to church'

 

[Oldhippy]

You jest but that isn't far from the truth Cyclops. She tried for a while but traffic scares the crap out of her. She walks now.

I've left a message with Cycle Fix It of Herne Bay to ask whether they would, for a proportionate fee, box and courier a folder to a UK address if someone wheeled it in. They'd have the know-how.
Any other cycle shops close to the retirement complex, to your (local) knowledge?

 

[Oldhippy]

None other nearby I'm afraid.

 

[fozy tornip]

I'm in touch with Cycle Fix It and they haven't dismissed the idea out of hand. They're repairs and second hand mostly so don't do much mail ordery stuff, but might be persuadable to box and hand it to, for example, these people: https://www.bikedelivery.co.uk/
Perhaps the seller, if not inundated with local interest, would be amenable to wheeling it in to them if I get the green light from them?

 

[Oldhippy]

I would be able to get it to cycle fix ok. You would need to deal direct with the lady however if they agree to do it.

 

[fozy tornip]

Cool, thanks, I could ask no more.
How do I contact the seller lady?

 

[Oldhippy]

Let me know if cycle fix are prepared to box and post and then I can pm her contact details. If you wanted a courier to pick up from her home to yours that will be ok but she won't be able to box up or anything at a distance.

 

[fozy tornip]

Hello again.
Cycle fix aren't exactly biting my hand off but I've cast my nets wider asking mobile cycle repair services in Kent whether they'd like the job. Is seller lady good to hang on a smidgen?
And anyone reading this from the Herne Bay area who might despatch a folding bike via, say, https://www.bikedelivery.co.uk/ for some money, do please chime in!

 

[Oldhippy]

She is ok to wait.
