safety first! brakes still on, my area is really hilly so brakeless isn't really be an option, it also helps when i'm out trying cross, which bike are you putting the b/h on?

now if you were to post a pic of your bike,in threads that related to your bike then that wouldnt be a problem and so long as you dont tell people its for sale directly through the thread thats not a problem either.
if people enquire about your bike in threads just ask them to leave a message on your noteboard or through pm.

threads would get swamped with buyandsell adds and spam.
theres nothing stopping you putting something in your tag line though.
