Or fit even.

Very English too, but the former has crept into Australian and US vernacular. Blimey seems both English and Australian.

I have almost forgotten it was so long ago, but we used to have a few UK comedy shows in the 70s & 80s. I would say this is where the 'Blimey' use comes from In Australia.

Ah right! I used to watch that when I was young!

I'd take it back further than that, Biggles and Enid Blyton.

Honestly, was tempted to ask him to clarify what the other bike is that's included in the price.

Who woulda thought a hobby dominated by white males with too much spare cash at the moment would get expensive?

Maybe my brain has been corroded by coronatax, but that doesn't seem that unreasonable anymore. If it was $6k I wouldn't bat an eyelid. Yeah the frame is getting on a bit but the spec is pretty good.

The market is proper effed atm and I've seen plenty of anecdotal evidence of people selling stuff for reasonable prices getting stung when their bike re-appears for sale at a massive mark up by the flipper they unintentionally sold it to.

Ah yeah......awkward.....I remember now.

Honestly, it's nuts. Pre-covid it's a ~$3.5k bike. Spec is decent but it's not special, it's running a Float X ffs. $7k is lunacy.
