FS: Books

Post by Zippy »

I'm having a rather large organise/sort out at the moment. I have a huge number of books to get rid of. Anyway, here's 3 books that may be of interest to people here:

Image

+Haynes Bike Book 4th edition, hardback
+Mountain Bike handbook from yesteryear sometime back (before clipless pedals I think)
+Cyclecraft book.

Would like to sell it as one lot, call it £10 including postage via collectplus. Payment either paypal gift or bank transfer please.

Yes - that's why there's some numbers on some of the books. Anyway, it's got too much and takes up far too much space - hence trying to get rid of a lot. :geek:

The original. P1010. (WiFi only)

http://public.fotki.com/humanoid451/4sale/p1180869.html and click next for a few more photos.

All working fine, ultimate addons car mount adaptor thing if you have the suction pad bit and a neoprene case to go with it. Plus charger obvs. Some micro scratches on screen but I couldn't capture them on a photo.
Running Android froyo, like I said it's the stock image and factory reset. I believe there's a gingerbread ROM and a clockwork mod ROM floating about the web for this, bit couldn't be bothered to fiddle. You can also root this no probs as I once did. Will take a microSD which is handy too.
