Hello, I am trying to sell my wife's riv road- It has about 200 miles, campy record brakes, t/a triple crank, chorus elsewhere, cris king HS Mavic Open Pro wheel set. It is a Joe Bell painted bike in "split pea" and tusk.
Do you king friend know what sort of value I should put on it to list it on ebay? Thanks, JC On Fri, Aug 28, 2009 at 3:33 AM, rbw-owners-bunch group < nore...@googlegroups.com> wrote: > > RBW Owners Bunch > http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch?hl=en > > rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com > > Today's topics: > > * Search Function For This Group - 1 messages, 1 author > http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch/t/8e16d8f85639ea06?hl=en > * Fork Shudder - 3 messages, 3 authors > http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch/t/880b201e12e21a1a?hl=en > * QB on NYT - 1 messages, 1 author > http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch/t/258705817d6ccecf?hl=en > * Trunk Bag for Nitto Rear Campee/Camper? - 1 messages, 1 author > http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch/t/5eba7b677f35a3d1?hl=en > * Roadeo Press on BikeRadar.com - 5 messages, 5 authors > http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch/t/8c6549d5793ffded?hl=en > * Anyone selling a 62 cm Rambouillet? - 1 messages, 1 author > http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch/t/f9835c0a24d90218?hl=en > * Busted Zipper - 4 messages, 4 authors > http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch/t/1a7ebfe980c47b05?hl=en > * For Sale: My Quickbeam's Stock Wheelset - 1 messages, 1 author > http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch/t/d7a1ef7916553814?hl=en > > > ============================================================================== > TOPIC: Search Function For This Group > http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch/t/8e16d8f85639ea06?hl=en > > ============================================================================== > > == 1 of 1 == > Date: Wed, Aug 26 2009 9:41 pm > From: CycloFiend > > > on 8/26/09 3:59 PM, Garth at garth...@gmail.com wrote: > > The search function seems rather useless.
