Actually this computer lark isn't that difficult.  Just be being a mong!

Spesh make some of the best frames around including carbon. It looks good and in a reasonable condition (despite the flat tyre)with an ok spec


However as Horlock eluded to carbon fibre frames can have no crash visible damage although with a spesh frame you'd probably be ok.

Does "selling for a friend" mean its nicked ??

My estimate is that this will sell for c. £400

That's my main concern, I dont want to buy it and it be stolen. Aren't they serial numbered?  That way i coukd ask for it and check it prior.
I didnt think it would cost £400 perhaps I'll get a cheaper one and how the fuck can you see it has a puncture?
Thanks for pointing it out though

See the second picture, back wheel.

Maybe not a puncture, just a flat, which could be a puncture or not. 

It does look in very good condition though.

Thanks for that, i will monitor and see where the biding heads. It may be out of price for me being truthful if you say it could be worth upto £400.

It will have a frame number printed under the bottom bracket (assume they are still there on carbon frames), but not sure where you could find out if it was nicked even from that information - maybe worth speaking to Salisbury plod and or finding the Facebook page for the local cycling club, from experience round here if a bike gets lifted most of those in the local clubs know reasonably soon.

Carbon can be a bitch as it really doesn't show crash damage (as it can be inside the tubes or remain covered by the paint), but if it does fail it fails badly.

Just one other point  - you mention that you want to lose some timber. Carbon bikes have an upper weight limit so this maybe a consideration depending on your current weight

As Bennett informed me - you will need a Garmin dongle in order for your laptop to pick up your cadence/speed.

£28.02 for you squire

  Indeed, I warmed up by watching the  re-run of Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne 2015 on Eurosport

Sadly Omloop isn't on Eurosport, but Kuurne is.

Notice that One Pro Cycling, are doing Omloop, a big step up for Matt Prior's boys.  Sagan is there, must be favourite if in any sort of shape.

We have the ferry booked to go over for the Ronde, just struggling to find somewhere to park the camper otherwise its going to be a verge somewhere!

Well i didn't bid on the bike.
I thought I'd sneak in with a last minute bid but with 2 days left to run its currently sat on £501.

Thanks for your input though, cheers.

That's more than I was expecting but I'm not surprised.
