OG rat, but needs a different chain ring man

I've been loving this thread....so many awesome bikes.
Found an Italian lugged 70/80's Viner Special Professional track frameset locally...dull paint/nicks and scratches in the paints but no dents. Should have it fully built/on here in a few days.

Oh yeah... paid $150 or about 100 quid. :)

Couldn't beat the price. Most the scratches/paint chips are on the main triangle. Crappy camera doesn't show anything.

Where do you guys get all these tight prices?!

I live in Seattle so we have a huge friendly bike culture....we don't have a cutthroat attitude towards selling bike stuff at ridiculous prices (as opposed to places like SF that are about selling a neglected garage sale find Cinelli for $3000 because they slapped a Mash/Cadence/Supreme sticker on it.)

Example....a neighbor sold me an original Ti Flight saddle for $25 in awesome condition....he was happy to pass it on to another enthusiasts (and not some dude that wants to flip it on ebay). I bought an 80's Ciocc road bike with a mix of DA and 105 for $500 a few years back.

The main trick is to catch craigslist ads quickly. I'm a night owl so I'll often come across ads that were created in the evening but get posted on the site after midnight.
I don't even try ebay anymore unless it's local. Too much flipping or people asking ridiculous pricing.

Rad.

I don't understand that bike. I really don't

It's nice that you can get tight seat tube clearance with no back tyre installed though. I hear tyreless is the new tubeless.

There is nothing to understand.. It's just badass!

I built that freak, Hope you enjoy it..!

I missed it from a few hours when you sold it. Yeah max Badass...

Do you know who's the owner?

Your bikes are sick.

Please say you made this as well

Definitely not scrabbling through your posts

Nope not mine, posted it here a while back..

Sold it to a chap on fixedgear.se

You just reminded me of a guy that does some crazy tinkering back home in Croatia, calls himself Tetanus Cycles.

very cool!
