The seller is claiming he bought it new 4 months ago. Any comments would be most helpful thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Yeah it's well worth the money. But you could always be cheeky and say, i need to sort the creaking noise out i may need to buy BottomBracket and cranks Blah blah and try get a few quid off if you mange to haggle then you've bagged a good deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 £300 to £350 not £400 imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 £300 to £350 not £400 imo. That's what I said in his other thread. Don't see how everyone is valuing it at 400? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Just so you know, those forks are not Inspireds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I'd say £300 and a cuddle. As it is going to cost you anywhere from £50 for a decent set of tyres as they are worn to sh*t! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Those forks look like cheap phase 1.1 forks now you mention it, yeah it's worth about 350 tops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 They look more like Because forks to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 They look more like Because forks to me. Nope. He's actually right for once. Wasn't sure what the Phase forks looked like so searched. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=phase+mad&sugexp=chrome,mod%3D13&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=-46pUJmIA4jgtQa2tYCwAg&biw=1680&bih=961&sei=Ao-pUJ_cEcTptQanoYCgDw Second row on the very left. The picture's been removed from Photobucket, but it looks the same bike. Same bars, forks, frame, front rim etc. Here's the thread: - Phase forks. Even if they've been changed for Because's, they're definitely not the quoted Inspireds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
