Must as well try your luck, disrespect the seller and put a 99-cent bid. You can always justify yourself by saying "nothing wrong wat !!!"......

Hi peterpan, ryan's recommendation for togpparts.com is great. Most local riders are there. But be very mindful should you decide to post your mobilephone number there: (1)You will get a very high volume of calls (2) You will definitely get loads of offer to buy parts of your bike, and last but not least, (3)you'll get loads of queries from kids like nick!!!... no offense nick. I manage to sell almost all my bike parts there, but not without hard work and tonnes of SMS.

PS: toto, I ride but only leisurely, probaby cannot catch up with you...

Hi mobilefriend, no worries about mobilephone calls. More calls means more chance of selling away the bike.....thanks.

Hi Peterpan (BTW, thats the name of a really HOT band in Indonesia!),

I'm an avid mountain-biker and have been doing so for the last 15 yrs on/off. Firstly, would like to congratulate you for winning the bike. Whatever happens then is really not much of a loss at worst since you won it and did not buy it…. Several issues though you should consider in my most honest humble opinion… I really do not want to burst your bubble bro…..

1) It is a nice bike….to some. Honestly, most mountain bikers would not buy that for a few reasons
a) Mercedes Benz do not make MTB and hence the frame is probably made
another company for MB who subsequently pasted their name there. Likelihood is that it’s made in Taiwan like most other frames. These Taiwanese made frames, even though they have brands that are known to produce high end MTB frames are often seen to be inferior in quality.

b) Given the fact above, they will not pay that kind of price for it
c) Design looks dated.
d) Sorry, those are not XT parts let alone XT Groupset. The XT brake levers are
full silver, cranks are with Hollowtech 2 technology without bottom bracket
and hydraulic disc calipers are silver and much smaller. At the very most that
looks like an entry level Deore groupset. Rim skewers are standards Shimano.
Rims are ??? RST front shocks are entry level Taiwanese made mixed
elastomer shocks. You’re getting my drift bro……

2) For that fact, I think you’re left with 3 options…
a) Sell the bike as a whole
b) Strip the parts and sell it off
c) Keep the bike …. Everybody needs some exercise and yes… you’re welcome
to join me on the trails anytime bro!

3) I would try option a) first and sell the bike to an enthusiast and the only way is to
a) Consign it to the MB showroom. New one at Alexandra looks awesome!
b) Advertise in MB forums…. Both locally as well as overseas. (my experience is
that foreigners esp angmoh put more artistic value to things rather than being
100% practical)

4) Option b) if you failed the first option is to strip and sell at www.togoparts.com
Only problem with this option is that ..
a)You should only put email address and not your hp
b)You should try a mini auction ie put a base,rock-bottom price that you’ll accept first as lots of these people (like most Singaporeans) are very spineless, gutless, (and in this case faceless) , thick-skinned cheapos! “Err… I heard you selling your RST fork ah? $20 can or not?” To which my usual reply would be “Why are you asking me whether I’m selling? Claim charity and ask for me give you for free lah! KNN!” …. So you really got to tolerate this kinda shit!

5) But then again, you can always chose Option c) and we all can take our bikes ; be it Merz, BMW , Shimano, or whatever shit and hit the trails together and have lotsa fun! So lemme take this opportunity to see who is interested in hitting the trails soon…

BMW-SG bikers unite!!!!
