His email address [email protected] is mentions on some scando mountain biking forum.Seems a scam though I can't see the danger.....?

if you've any doubts (which you clearly do), I wouldn't risk it. If the price is good then you'll shift it soon anyway.

Yeah, if I was on my laptop and not phone I could translate the whole thread and see....I just fail to see how he could scam me....unless he asks for more details which'd give him access to my paypal/cc......(like there's anything to steal anyway! - otherwise I wouldn't be selling a practically new Corratec with 105 for 500e.)

I can think of many ways he could scam you based on what you've said so far tbh.

But that's from working in that area too long, 99% of things work out ok.

The scam would be opening a dispute in paypal I'd imagine and trying for a refund while also getting the bike. Lili would know about that stuff better than me.

New spray paint by Volvo. Invisible by day, fluorescent under car lights at night.

[rettucs]

car smashes into the car in front, then that car wipes out a rider. Will post a video when I see one posted.

Car drivers

 

[nooleen]

a combined car and bicycle race was a terrible idea in the first place

 

[Unicron]

Had to admit to myself that the bike I bought last year second hand was a bad purchase, especially since I crashed it in the summer so I bought a new hybrid yesterday.

Is there a solution for adding mudguards/fenders to a road bike?

The one I have has none of the extra little screwholes and whatnot.

It depends on the design of the mudguard. Some of them are designed so that you have to remove the brake calipers to screw them in, then replace the calipers. Thats a pain in the hole though.

You can buy some specifically for a road bike, that just clip on. Thats one solutuon. A lot of people are going for ass-savers these days. They clip in under the saddle and catch everything thrown up by the back wheel. Suppose it doesn't do a lot for the front though.

Feet and bum are the concerns

I'll see what the lads say at the bike store

rarely happens that i need them, but on the days that you do, you really wish you had them

Buy clip ons, or just wear proper waterproofs

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

I have Jack Wolfskin waterproofs.

This is more for getting caught while out.

 

[Jerry Twig]

Jack Wolfskin? I didn't know you were German. Didn't need to know what brand of elastic pants you wear either, but thanks for sharing.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Well, they're 'proper'

Bought them in Berlin. In a place on Karl Marx Allee. Lovely day so it was.
Got a really good pair of Meindls also.
