Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I’ve been auctioning so far, as it’s generally been stuff where getting it out of the house is more important than the price I get!
It really shouldn’t be so
It really shouldn’t be so hard to navigate the forum. The lack of an integrated search option or post history makes it really unfriendly finding any thread that’s dropped off the first few pages. It also means people are more likely to start a fresh thread when there may be an existing one with relevant useful info.
However, I’ve found you can do a passable job by asking Google to search the forum only – especially if you remember terms from the thread title. E.g. in this case, the following search would have done the job:
site:https://road.cc/content/forum/ RS010
(You need to type all the above text including ‘site’ – can’t work out how to present it in a way which doesn’t turn into an apparent hyperlink)

Ah, that’s interesting. I got back into ebay selling in preparation for listing a bike, but so far I’ve only sold smaller items where the maximum listing duration seems to be 7 or 10 days. It’s then very easy to accidentally find it’s automatically relisted and you’ve lost the discount. Sounds like other categories or sale formats have longer durations. In fact, to the original poster, somewhere on this forum about 2 years ago I think I started a thread like this where people gave useful tips on ebay selling for bikes. Good luck finding it though.
This one used to be a wing
This one used to be a wing mirror graveyard. Once saw a wedged 4×4 being recovered by a tow truck: https://goo.gl/maps/8UPukHVUhEUYpMZ68
PS: threading doesn’t seem to work for me on this thread at all, which makes it quite a challenge to follow. Is it just me (I also get it on other long threads like Pictures of Your Bike)?
Also worth noting – I think
Also worth noting – I think usually the 80% off only applies if it sells in the first listing period – not on any automatic re-listing.

There are a fair few Cardiff bike paths which would be impassable on a front loader but can be done on the GSD.I found some of these today around Gabalfa / Heath. I haven’t felt the need to use Cardiff’s paths much historically but, as I start to explore traffic free routes for family rides, there is some awfully unfriendly infrastructure. Found some slalom gates that I think even the Tern might struggle with.

I currently have Tern envy, a family near me use it for the school run and shopping.To illustrate what I meant in the live blog comments about ‘needing’ versus ‘wanting’ a cargo bike, our school run will be either 0.5 miles or 0.8 miles, depending on which preference we get, and we currently have our shopping delivered… Maybe mine is just Tern envy too

Thanks, there was another vote for the Helios in the live blog comments yesterday – I have seen one or two around, but hadn’t appreciated the platform is adaptable. Will have a look.
Thanks. The kid experience is
Thanks. The kid experience is another part of the equation for me. When we tried a box bike and the Tern, my little one definitely preferred the former because she could see more, and I guess it was novel when she’s used to being on the back of a regular bike. While for me alone I like the idea of a manual bike, I think whatever I get will be electric to maximise usability.I’m definitely keen on trying
I’m definitely keen on trying a Bullitt as a comparison, and fortunately there is somewhere nearby that I can do that. If I was buying a car I could test a number of brands on one industrial estate, but cargo bikes not so much. Were your Bullitts electric or mechanical? What made you switch to the UA?Yeah, I’m keen on the belt
Yeah, I’m keen on the belt and hub. Do you have any of the clubhouse kit for kiddy-hauling in the rain?Yep, Cardiff. I hired a GSD
Yep, Cardiff. I hired a GSD from Pedal Power and may return for a longer hire to see how it fits into life. They’re certainly very well thought out.So, to kick off – I’m cargo
So, to kick off – I’m cargo curious. We are a one-child, one-car family living close to a city centre, so can already do a lot on foot / bike and aren’t reliant on the car. But the little one is getting bigger and is about to outgrow the bike seat, so I’m interested in something with a bit more capacity that might also replace some car trips. My heart likes front loaders where the little one would be in sight and there’s a massive cargo area (Bullitt, Urban Arrow). Haven’t ridden either of those, but have tested a Riese & Muller Packster to get a feel for the box-bike style. That felt a bit of a barge and the steering was a bit of a learning curve. Have also ridden a Tern GSD and it was a doddle by comparison, and more adjustable so that my wife could ride it too.
