I needed a winter training bike to go out with my club during the winter,
so I put in a bid of 200 quid on this Decathlon not expecting to win.
However, someone bid all the way from 55 quid right up to 200 in the last
3 minutes of the auction and then stopped. I got it by virtue of having
the earlier bid.

That sounds a bit like some schill bidding, are you sure the other bidder
was genuine?

Dunno, but here it is if you can work it out. The iancarey's only purchase
was a bike computer. Maybe he wanted a bike to go with it!

Looks fine actually, he bought a barracuda a few hours later, so it
looke fine to me. Just didn't want you to be ripped off!

that's a good buy; the bog standard version is 259 new. Of course it
may have the brakes the right way round ;-)
