Clearly overpaid he was selling it at £950 8 months ago on gumtree. Only a moron would pay that much. Specially as I have to go to Leicester to fetch it!

I was tempted but need one now and that's what I wanted. Have septic arthritis and a springer spaniel that needs 2.5 hours exercise a day (minimum) Need to alternate with off road cycle and next day walk. Otherwise to painful to walk next day. Have a Rohloff bike but not prepared to change tyres back and forth. Also will be putting on spikes soon. If Temperature forecast drops to 3 degrees then there will be ice on roads around here (rural). Hoping for new knee soon but not even on waiting list yet.

Bid below mine was 1,401.99 and below that was £1,150.00. I hate whoever it was who bid 1401.99

Well understand the arthritis being a fellow sufferer.!!just back from cortisone injection so should feel marvellous tomoz!!! That will be one fit Springer!!! I will keep on searching as think the rholoff is the way to go.I bumped into a guy with a surly in Bold st lpool who says its brill but you can hear a noise in low gears but I've not experienced using a rholoff yet but will do soon hopefully,hope that knee improves!!

Yeah didn't look like it was worth 1400 in my opinion either.

I make myself feel better by remembering that my Santos Travelmaster cost me £1100 on eBay delivered. The paperwork shows the bloke paid £3300 for it.

Well done !!!your mission accomplished albeit a long haul but as you say that 1401 bid hit hard,bit of a sudden hike.I will have to be careful with my own bidding but I,m sure one will be out there   :)
