My CGR Frame Has Expired

[vickster]

I am now wishing you hadn’t told me there’s a copper version!

@vickster
That's a nice colour!

Indeed, clearly it’s a different brand/colour but it is lush

What about the Merlin Malt?

Not in stock in the size I'd want; the '53', to get a 54cm (effective) top-tube
The Tiagra/Orange model is in stock in a '53'

Curiously ,the 'Claris' that you quote is available as a '53' frameset
Sadly it's a through-axle, so that would mean new wheels too (& 6-bolt disc too, to save buying new rotors)

I'll think about it at work tomorrow, if I get time!!

 

[bikingdad90]

What wheels do you have? You might be able to get some converters?

Rather curiously, I won the London Road frame

I offered him the asking price (ie; Buy It Now), & a message to offer more for a part-way

Ah sorry my misunderstanding when you said you'd 'won' I thought it was on bidding

Yes, I used that phrase, with it essentially being an auction
I rarely use it, so have no idea if you can offer above the 'Buy It Now' price, I was prepared to pay more, but couldn't enter a higher price (eg; £90 - to make sure I got it)

I’ve purchased a new frame/fork earlier this afternoon
It’s not the colour l liked, but l decided to go for the cheaper one…
…. typical Yorkshireman!!!!

It's a hard habit to break

What did you buy? Do you have a photo of it?

Once you enter the buy it now price - (or even click buy now !) The auction ends.?

The only way out then is if the Sellar cancels the sale or you mutually agree to cancel the sale.

Wat & see, just part-way through swapping everything over
I need a new bottom-bracket, as one of the cups is seized into the frame
Have to get one tomorrow

The seller cancelled

Damn!, Blast!, Buggerance!!

I’ve dropped a spanner on it, & chipped it

I’ll have see if daughter has any nail polish of a similar colour
(cheaper than touch-up paints)
