MazH Aug 2020 9:07am, 17 Aug 2020 10,912 posts	MazH Flat tyres can be made good for sale, pumped up might be just fine... if they deflate straight away then maybe not so good. be sure n let them know you'd recommend inner tubes tho. Cleaned up and sold as seen..... Assuming you're not selling to anyone you know well... I wouldn't worry too much.

MazH Aug 2020 9:27am, 17 Aug 2020 10,913 posts	MazH Fingers crossed...! I feel like i got a bargain second hand with my Marin, for £130, but i know pretty soon i will want another bike.... speaking of second hand. i got some specialized SPD shoes (recessed cleats so i can walk in them and use them on flats) on Facebay for £16.... and now i have ordered some MTD SPD pedals..... broad flat pedals with optional SPD, rather than sporty small pedals. So soon, I am going to try for clipping in! Who even am I!?!??!

EvilPixie Aug 2020 9:30am, 17 Aug 2020 18,313 posts	EvilPixie I use SPDs The "extra gain" from full cleats at my level of ability isn't worth it I know I can unclip easily and therefore walk hills if needed! LOL
