Seems legit

So many questions

especially about the leopard print duvet cover

£15 650b wheelset in Brighton. Just right to try it out on your frame before upgrading to a decent set. Or your pub bike or whatever.

Expensive Once Look kg196 but includes a 1994 Mavic Zap electronic groupset, which I’d never heard of before.

Way over-priced I think. The later Mektronic electronic group was much better though both suffered aparently from rain ingress. I had a nos full Mektronic group and it was nice to use and well made.

Thanks- I naively assumed that electronic shifting was a new invention...

Gilles Berthoud built Rando Cycles tourer fairly cheap

The pink one? That is delightful - does anyone know if Gilles Berthoud built all the Rando Cycles frame sets? I have an early 80s Touring frame with a lot of similar details to that one and I'd be intrigued to know who put it together (as the shop has now gone).

Is that UCI legal?

Paging @mdcc_tester

Is that UCI legal?

No, for at least two reasons. The wheels are not the same size as one another, and the reach to the ends of the bars exceeds the permitted limit.

When eBay have a promotion on where you only pay £1 as a final sale fee, rather than 10% of the value, a lot of place-holder ads appear to be filled in properly later.

Lots like this at the moment.

54cm Klein with 9spd Ultegra. Could be a complete steal.

Spenny, but lush..

Bit of a mishmash component wise but nice frame none the less:

Interesting, wonder what the frame is? Says it has an 'RR' panto on the fork crown, but looks more like a PR.

Can't make out what's panto'd on the rear brake bridge either....
