Anyone know this bike ? (inverness)

Post by popkat »

Does this belong to anyone here ?, or does anyone live near it ?
I'd interested in buying it but not brave enough as it's over 600 miles away 8O
I could get it couriered but would need someone with an ocd type attention to detail to look over it and check it out for me.

There's the "yellow" one near Southampton too :lol:

Thanks for the offer :thumbup:
So you'll be in inverness ? I wouldn't want anyone going miles out of their way.
I'd talk to the owner to see if it's worth looking at first.
Then find out delivery costs, bld group say about £180 on their website so need to factor delivery into cost of bike to see if it's worth it.

Seen the red one advertised for a long time, in previous adds he's said it has a respray that's not very good.

The other one IS the yellow one, I kind of like it although don't like the cans sticking out, I messaged him and he'll come down on price but not quite to what I've got yet. I'd need to sort out the CCT's on it too.

Grumpy and Monkey (why do I find that funny :lol:) Which of you will be nearer or do you want to meet up have a beer and go look as a posse..

I'll try and make contact with the owner tomorrow evening and let you guys know how I get on from there.

Thank you both :thumbup:

Hi There,
I am only about 30 miles north of Inverness and am down there quite regularly. I noticed it on gumtree last week and thought it looked very clean and tidy.
If you are struggling to get someone to look at it just drop me a pm and If I can I will have a look for you.

I have not seen it about, but then with a lot of bikes up this way the decent weather is short lived and they don't get used a lot.

Cheers

A.M.

do you think the owner would be cautious if 3 (unmet) members of the"clan" appeared and scrutinised his beloved baby? ? poor lad would not know what hit him.
tattie, when the good weather appears, expect a shout. I'll be needing someone to show me the hidden roads once I've mastered the Ullapool route.
Don't hassle me
I'll get there at some time
