Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 55cm HillborneW

[Frank Burkybile]

I have been there before Ahmed and it can be frustrating! I have sold 
several bikes online over the years and some of the best seem to get no 
response, need to get posted several times before getting any interest, 
then only to get tire kickers who only want to look. Other times, one post 
will get a lot of same-day interest. Fortunate timing (luck?) seems to be 
the key. Perhaps when folks start to get a little spring fever in a few 
weeks, you will find someone who is a match.

 Hi Ahmed, 

 Any chance you'd consider parting it out or just selling the rolling

Thanks for the tips David! I’ll get on it and update the posting. Glad
you’re enjoying the Roadeo. Kinda wish I hadn’t sold it. :-)

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 55cm HillborneW

['Hetchins52' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Hey Ahmed,
I'd agree with Bill: Put another saddle on (And, raise the seat post at 
least two cm!) -- A Berthoud is worth too much and they are quite 
individual. 
Take the basket and rack off -- They obscure the view of the front and 
represent one use of the bike that may narrow it down too much. 
And, pull the bags off and offer them separately. 
Now you can offer the more essential Sam.
Turn it around and get a front quarter picture and then a full drive side 
picture of the bike. (NO coffee cup!!)
I'd be interested but I think I'd go for a 51cm/650b frame.

 Ahmed is selling a $2900 Hillborne.  

 I notice you have a super expensive saddle on the bike.  If you sold 
 the bike with no saddle, you could drop the price.  If you don't like the 
 saddle, maybe you could sell the saddle separately which could also lower 
 the price of the remaining build.  You could do something similar with the 
 front rack, which is pretty valuable, and desirable, and currently sold 
 out 
 at Riv.  

 I mention this because over on iBob, a poster is requesting to buy a 
 Berthoud Aubisque saddle, in any color, before going and paying full 
 retail.  If your Berthoud saddle is an Aubisque, maybe you could sell it 
 separately.  Most buyers of used bikes expect to BYO pedals and saddle.
