If you don't buy it I will. Then I will sell the LTK back to you for several of your arms and legs ---  :o

I only wish I had seen this one before I jumped on the one I have. But no matter, I am hot on the heels of an AMP B5 right now.

I was hoping nobody had spotted that one - been after a 856 Way Big for a while :( Would sell on the LTK possibly if someone wanted it.

I put a bid on this a few days ago. I was hoping none of you would notice this as im the highest bidder at the moment  ;) Seems a shame to get into a bidding war between us guys.

did you win it then? It went for £41 - I was going to go quite a bit higher than that. Hope you got it!

I was kind of curious myself as to whether or not Spoke had won it.

Yes I won it although I feel a bit guilty now. I put a maximum bid of £51 on my first bid and then on reading that you guys were keen thought I would not increase my bid to avoid a bidding war. I didn't think nobody else would bid on it.  :-[ I don't have access to a pc during the day so have only just checked. Thanks Orange your a gent! Karma coming your way..

I was only after the frame (the LTK was just out of curiosity) - so if you decide you don't need the frame at some point I'd be interested :)

If it turns out you do not want the LTK I will take it as I would like another to see exactly how light I can get it without snapping something important.
