Hi there, We bought the MSR bike tent model (2-person + large awning that can fit 2 bikes) back in 2005. It’s served us really well, especially during a year-long trip across Africa. Now, one of the poles is broken, and we’d love to replace it since that’s the only issue with the tent. The poles are 9.35 mm in diameter, with 8 sections of 49 cm and 2 sections of 28 cm. Total length when assembled: 416 cm. Actually, two of the long sections are broken—a straight one and a curved one. It’s been a nightmare to find since this model isn’t sold anywhere anymore. Would anyone happen to have this model lying around unused and be willing to sell me a pole?

The VSF Fahrradmanufaktur TX-1000 trekking bike features a chromoly steel frame and fork (25CrMo4 double-butted tubes). This "grand tourer" is designed to support a maximum load of 170 kg. Robust, comfortable, and secure components The bike also comes with ergonomic Ergon components: a Brooks B17 leather saddle, LED lights (powered by a dynamo), and the SON 28 dynamo, which is particularly efficient at low speeds. It powers the 205-lumen Supernova E3 Pro 2 headlight, which stays on after stopping (for 5 minutes thanks to the parking light function), just like the rear light. - The VSF Fahrradmanufaktur TX-1000 trekking bike is equipped with Schwalbe Marathon Mondial tires and a Rohloff hub. These tires handle any terrain, from well-maintained paths to rough trails. Their sturdy casing and built-in reinforcement nearly eliminate the risk of punctures. Hydraulic disc brakes.

It’s got about 7,000 km on it, from 2021. Unfortunately, it no longer fulfills its travel purpose due to my own doing. New value: 4,800 €. Selling for 1,990 €.

Hi there, I’m traveling by motorcycle/scooter and would like to sell it in Thailand or Malaysia. Before February 14th in Kuala Lumpur. Or by the end of January near Bangkok. Honda Wave F1, semi-automatic, 4-speed. Purchase price: 400 €, resale around 320 € depending on condition. It has 12,000 km and will have about 3,000 more, so roughly 15,000 km total. I’ve set the price and had it serviced—no issues to report. Comes with a spare key and the 2018 blue card. If you’re heading back to Vietnam, even better, but it can be easily resold anywhere in Asia. It has great range, and with Google Maps or other map apps, you can find your way without understanding the local language. Happy travels in Asia! !
