He wanted £140 for it

Did you think that was too expensive?

skki3330 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 19, 2013, 05:03 PM »

Lol i tried to bag this aswell was winning at £150 then he contacted me and said he would end it for me @ £180 so im assuming someone paid about £150-£180. Nice lil ride but i think maybe a bit to pricey. Question is does it have the correct forks? i could not see and he ended it before confirming for me.
