So cheap :-/

u got me

I think I remember that frameset sold on eBay a little bit of time ago for well under £100. Like £60/70 or something.

Was an orange frameset modified with track dropouts, refurbed by Argos. Same as this one.

I had it at one point. It was given away for free on here

Can't remember who I gave it to but at some point, someone's decided to make a few quid on it, it seems.

It came complete and with spares, unlike in the pictures

wow I even had third dibs on it when it came up
what a rabbit hole!

Some interesting stuff at my local auction house:

If we buy stuff, can you help with the shipping - there'd be a drink in it for you ;-)

"Bicycle" brings up some great items, but you will have to do the search manually - a revised link did not work when I tried to post it.

It’s worth noting that you may have to pay 30% fees on top of the auction ending price

Wasn't there something about most auction prices excluding vat as well the last time a lot was posted?

Indeed, I can’t remember the specifics but it’s probably worth checking prior to purchase

Just scroll past all the motoring to Bikes... they start about 1/2 way through
(If you refine the search with bicycle you’ll miss out a lot of the bike stuff)

Let me have a think about that..

Holy crap they have some actual Vélocipèdes.

The buyer’s premium is subject to VAT. So often 25% of the sale, plus a fifth of that sum, equals 30%.

Wow. If anyone buys that (and fashions some pedals for it) can I pleeeaaase ride it?

My thoughts exactly! Would love ride that for a bit. Probably not for too long though, I think it's most likely not exactly comfortable.

No pedals are fitted.

I'm out.

This seems like a good price? I was very close to pulling the trigger (on an offer the seller sent to all watchers) when I remembered all-city’s size larger generally.

All city mr pink 52cm

Mmm....he won’t except less than £305 plus he is bitching about wrong postage cost on advert

Huh - the offer he sent out was for a little under 300. Shame as it’s a beaut!

Not sure whether everyone has noticed this, I only did a minute ago: PROSPER10 for 10% off, £100 min spend, max £50 off, theoretically on specific items, but it seems all the bike stuff in my watch list has it. Only valid till tonight midnight though, so not sure how useful that'll be.

That Jack Taylor is grand.

Tempting still...

Definitely my favourite colour way of those.
