Apr 4, 2015Scott Speedster 20 - Complete package (Turbo Trainer etc)
$600 GBPWelcome to the sale of what is, fundamentally, the most misguided purchase of my life.
Before beginning my rant about lycra clad strava warriors, this is the bike in question:
http://www.bikeradar.com/road/gear/category/bikes/road/product/review-scott-speedster-20-13-46904/
It comes complete with every accessory possible to grant you direct access to the mid life crisis zone - no test or fancy initiation ritual required. You will be a fully qualified member - congratulations.
At the end of 2013, after years of wonderful mountain biking, i had some spare money and kept noticing all these 'happy people' biking around the roads, chatting, laughing and generally looking pleased with life. After a month of research i decided on a a Scott Speedster 20, it was getting rave reviews in the £1000 bike category and had such esoteric features as 'Carbon Forks', 'Aero Design' and 'That Shimano 105 stuff'.
On purchase completion i set about buying all the extras to make me an instant 'Tour De Cock' winner. A Topeak cycle bag, for storing my 'Lycra Clad Strava Warrior' membership card along with my Blood type and Donor cards for when i eventually got hit by a Bus, kicked by a horse or got so depressed at wearing lycra i manualled clean off a cliff. I purchased a Topeak iPhone holder, so i could play angry birds whilst getting hit by a bus, kicked by a horse....or...you get the idea.
It became apparent very quickly that road cycling is for people with no purpose in life, it's a slower method of transport than a car, far less fun than mountain biking and considerably more dangerous than walking. Lycra clad humans would attempt to speak to me whilst out riding (i have headphones in you absolute **** bag, this should be a sign to **** off and leave me alone) they would then ask me about my 'KOM' time whilst adjusting their lycra clad packages.
THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE - **** OFF.
Never in my life have i stared another man in the eye and consistently played with my gentleman sausage whilst discussing my 'HUB engagement speed' or my 'Transformational Aero Wheel Design Package'
GO AWAY.
At this point my depression was so deep i decided i still wanted to use my road bike but away from the Satanic cult members, i wanted to cycle in doors (i'm aware how ridiculous that now sounds, but full mid life crisis had set in)
I spent a large amount of money on a very nice Elite Super Crono turbo trainer and riser block - these are also included in the sale. After using them once (yes, once!) a good friend organised a full stage 'Intervention' - this included a banner, music, counselling and allot of beer.
6 months have passed since the intervention and i am now cured. Road Cycling is for idiots.
Included in the Sale:
Bike (Scott Speedster 20 - Size Medium - Shimano 105 Model with Carbon Forks)
Under Saddle Topeak Bag
Topeak Iphone Holder
Turbo Trainer
Riser Block
Cycling Shoes (Size 9.5 from memory)
All original paperwork and receipt
All original accessories, including reflectors
Spare inner tube (maybe 2 if i can find another one)
Some lights (front and back) - These WILL NOT stop getting you getting hit by a bus
The bike is immaculate bar some marks on the pedals/cleats (whatever the hell they are called in Lycra world) - it wants for nothing and has done less than 100miles.
You won't be disappointed - also listed on ebay.
Collection only from Preston, Lancashire. I will not post, so don't ask.
Cash on collection or Paypal.
Item is for sale elsewhere.
