Don't do it. I've seen this fail massively on another biking forum; it really isn't worth the hassle either for you, the fourm, or any of the participants.

Just sell the bike in the normal way.

I think its a good idea,
The seller gets his money and some one grabs a bargain.

It's only a bargain if you win. Otherwise you've wasted a tank of petrol.

People moaning basically. Turning something that was intended to be a bit of fun into something that by the end no one wanted to be a part of. It was probably a case of planning from the start but the whole thing just dragged on and on. In the end it was far more hassle then it was worth.
