People buy them from the UK with valid certificates and bring them to Australia, where they don't meet the boiler code! End up on the display shelf, or at best the owners property, because not allowed in a public space. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikes on the used market often disappoint the seller… They went silly during the lockdown, anything rideable sold well. Now they're back to being piled high on tatters lorries. I keep having a friend of mine pestering about me renovating bicycles for some as yet unspecified community project and keep refusing to get involved. The only bicycles that fetch any money secondhand are those which are fashionable this week. Anything else, it's not worth spending time and money on tyres, cables etc, plus a lot of the Chinese gear / hub / crank components aren't durable, or designed to be repairable, we really do live in a fashion obsessed throwaway society. If "you want a bike to get fit" there's no point getting some 28 speed lightweight or even battery assisted bicycle. You need an old, heavy ten (or less) speedier and start off gently then put some effort in! Edited January 7, 2023 by MrWolf 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

40152 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Contact name not matching when you enter the ‘other items’ list, further random pricing (this is pretty special: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394394053205?), all pointing towards the inevitable, I’m afraid.
