This is a good thing. Now, click on the triangle and you'll see a mini-menu which includes the option REPLY TO AUTHOR. and Bob's your uncle.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 59cm Bleriot
Yanking this thread violently in my own direction: RANT: about people who, when they see a FS post, immediately scream, OH! I wannit! I wannit!!! And then, after you patient answer questions and send photos, disappear into the neant. I don't mind people backing out. I've done it myself a few times. What I mind is the rudeness that doesn't bother to ask, I've changed my mind -- do you mind? and simply slinks off into the outer darkness without another word. The few times I've backed out, I always ask if the seller will permit me to do so and I append an offer to follow through with the purchase if the seller insists. My request to change my mind has not been turned down and the sellers all have seemed willing to let me back out. I do this only rarely; usually, even when I have second thoughts I go through with the promise to pay and purchase. Note: I believe that backing out of a commitment to buy even after asking and being granted permission is at least slightly flakey, so I am guilty thus far of flakiness myself, but just disappearing is not excusable. This does not happen only on the RBW list, of course, it's all over, but it is damn'd rude! Rant over; back to your regular programming.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 59cm Bleriot
Believe it or not, there are a lot of flakes who are into bikes in the world. My fave was a guy who called several times to talk to me for a combined maybe 2+ hours about a Bleriot. I somehow let the word Quickbeam out of my mouth, and that got him to asking questions about that model. His questions carried the implication that he was going to buy a Bleriot from me. Anyway, after all that, maybe 2 weeks later, he called to thank me for my patience in answering his hundreds of neurotic questions, but informed me delightedly that he'd purchased it cheaper from one of the internet bike shops who was selling the Bleriot just over cost back in those days. Not to worry, he vowed to buy fenders from me. The conversation was ended, um, hastily. If it had happened in person rather than on the phone, I think I would have run him out the door with some forceful language and perhaps a kick in the pants. After that, I considered instituting a consulting fee, creditable toward whatever bike purchase may result, when I sensed the conversation was dragging on with no purchase in sight. But it seems bad form to ask for money just for talking to a customer...unless you're a lawyer or medical type.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 59cm Bleriot
I have a very close friend that has that exact and deplorable shopping style. In his mind, retail establishments that choose to employ experts are offering free expertise. He happily accepts that free expertise in the form of advice and answers to however many questions they are willing to answer. After he is done collecting all the free information he can, only then does he begin looking for the best price. If the best price is back at the place with the expert employees, fine. If it's a mailorder or webstore with no employees outside of shipping, so be it. When I learned that about him, I honestly wanted to punch him squarely in the face.

My fave was a guy who called several times to talk to me for a combined maybe 2+ hours about a Bleriot. I somehow let the word Quickbeam out of my mouth, and that got him to asking questions about that model. His questions carried the implication that he was going to buy a Bleriot from me. Anyway, after all that, maybe 2 weeks later, he called to thank me for my patience in answering his hundreds of neurotic questions, but informed me delightedly that he'd purchased it cheaper from one of the internet bike shops who was selling the Bleriot just over cost back in those days. Not to worry, he vowed to buy fenders from me. The conversation was ended, um, hastily. If it had happened in person rather than on the phone, I think I would have run him out the door with some forceful language and perhaps a kick in the pants. After that, I considered instituting a consulting fee, creditable toward whatever bike purchase may result, when I sensed the conversation was dragging on with no purchase in sight. But it seems bad form to ask for money just for talking to a customer...unless you're a lawyer or medical type.

2 out of 3 interested parties have backed outfinances and size. The third is thinking. The Bleriot is still available and will finally be on eBay in the next 48 hrs if nobody is interested.

[RBW] Re: FS: 59cm Bleriot
Well, if you need this size, I guess it's a somewhat fair price, considering the workstand, etc. If you need a workstand. And the wheels, etc. I'm just being a little cynical about the 61cm, but if you want that size Makes me feel a bit better about what I paid for my 51 Bleriot frame. But I'm ok with that.
