Hi All, first reply, gotta get that post count up to hopefully get a Riv
when one pops up that tickles my fancy :)

DON'T?
Why not? I would like to know if someone was interested at some point in
the future
In fact anytime someone comes to buy a part I will ask them "what frame
size do you ride?" And if I get a nice frame that
Addendum: I'm sure part of the problem is this lousy Google Groups
interface that is sending my replies to spam folders. Apparently it's a BIG
problem now, to the point that I may just end the practice of trying to
sell here. The level of irritation I've experienced the last few times I've
As a potential buyer and infrequent seller, perhaps I sometimes correspond
too much. A Nitto rack or some other jewel, its rare that there are
crickets on the other end. Heck, at least crickets make noise! But I never

I look at it a bit like posting something on Craigslist or really ANY
retail experience. There will always be "tire-kickers," people who take a
test drive , try on clothes, ask lots of questions about a product. but

when I get these emails/texts. It's just frustrating is all, I'm meticulous
about communication when I'm looking to buy something so I expect the

Joe, I think it's fair to expect someone to send you a quick, polite reply.
Especially give this is a community of people with shared interests.
It's tough to make sales happen when you're fielding multiple requests, you
set something aside, someone doesn't follow up, etc.
