Don't know, but starting bid is unrealistically high

Don't know how much it's worth, but they'll get a few questions asking what size it is :roll: . I never bother with a starting price lower than what I'll sell for as a minimum, I don't see the point in starting low and sticking a reserve on.

Got 'NICKED' written all over it. The classic 'selling it for a mate' gives it away in my opinion, that way the seller can claim to know sod all about the technical aspects of it and the spec and like Andrew says one of the main points of selling a bike would be listing the size.

Have to agree with Antloony. No details as to size, groupset, wheels, tyres, pedals, just what he can read off the frame.

agree ^, bianchi bikes dont even have a "928" named bike, that is a C2C bike. The numbers are a reference to the 3 years bianchi won some tour thing.

Just checked out his other items, couple of chainsaws, couple of tellys, similar lack of detail as "selling for his friend". All his other sales are marked private.

Might stick a last minute bid on the bike for a couple of million quid and blame it on the cat.

I was going to suggest posting to "Lost & Stolen" on Bike radar, but someone already has.

Shame it's hard to get plod interested in these sort of things.

Oh, we of little faith. Somebody asked if it was stolen. No, his mate bought it new from a shop. Sam the Cat is preparing his guaranteed winning bid as I type.
