damn thats fricken overboard is int it easyer just to say sorry im only selling the whole bike

 

I'll be honest (not justifying the rudeness)' date=' but some hubbers are pretty strange.

 

You post a frame for sale' date=' with pics and all the details. Then someone e-mails you and asks if you have "XXX" wheel set? [img'']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley5.gif[/img]

 

One thing that I have noticed, is that hubbers shop for bargains... not for quality, not for what they need.... but purely for bargains. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm generalising. But that is the feeling that I get.

yes, that would be a bit irritating, especially after the 2nd call smiley2.gif but in DHK's defence, he asked for the wheelset on the bike, not some random unrelated bit of kit.

sometimes, we dont like to break up a set, but in this guys case, i'm pretty sure he can swing the bits and pieces without issue. Whole bike is obviously way less grief than shipping pieces and dealing with the whole bunch of western cape idiots smiley17.gif

aren't you going to get a full 2010 glory? or just the frame set?

 

Just the frame. I have some decent parts on the Glory ATM, so it will be a nice build with what I have. Also, I like switching parts out fairly regularly anyways. So I'm not fussed about having the "stock" bike. Not a fan of the Shimano hubs either!

Yup!

 

All I see in that bike is a pile of $$$. I'd rather have the cash in my c/c account than taking up space in my garage!
