Sirius 531 Touring Bike Mirage 8 sp 57cm

Metallic burgendy colour. Custom built in '97 and used sparingly since then (1 week tour of Alps and latterly a few audax rides). Cast lugs & bottom bracket. Good overall condition , with some odd paint nicks. Braze ons for rack/guards front and back, plus 2 pairs bottle bosses and Orbit sealed roller bearing headset. Frame treated with frame saver and waxyol when new. Stored in dry garage so no internal rust.

May I have first refusal on this, pending photos?

OK, so what's the protocol?
I tried to bump this a couple of times during the last week, but admin removed the posts.

01 Dec 2010 - 09:44 Sorry about the vagueness, I am interested in the tourer.

No sign of a reply. I tried drawing the vendor's attention to his thread:

02 Dec 2010 - 23:27 I flagged an interest in your tourer for sale, in the thread itself, Nov 29th.
Perhaps you could clarify, in the thread, where you're at with this? Has it been sold? Has a discernible queue formed? Is gnvqsos referring to the same bike or the other one you have for sale?

Nothing. Anyone got any ideas about how to get our coy seller to open up. Alternatively, if anyone's managed to buy this bike could you let me know?

The protocol is usually to post on the thread or PM the seller, but bumping doesn't help if the seller doesn't reply - which is why, I assume, a moderator has removed the bump posts.

If a seller won't respond there's little else we can do really.

Cheers,
Shaun

FWIW I've also had some difficulty communicating with user itisaboutthebike. He expressed an interest in some chain rings I had to offer, but has not responded to my pm or on the thread in the ForSale board....

ho hum

I'll guess he put it up for sle all over the place and as soon as it was sold lost any interest in letting anyone know

The username sounds familiar to an auction I was looking at on ebay back when I was looking for a frame, which would correspond to the dates. He sold it before I could go and have a look at it sadly.

There has been no response from the seller so I have closed this thread.
