Holy shiiiit! What!! Congratulations!!! 🎉

That'll buff out, or you can just send it to me and I'll dispose of it.

Dotn worry, it's just the light, there's no scratch. It is stunning though!

Let's see the whole thing!

congrats! post pics of the build when you get started!

It's going to be a fairly budget build at first. 11 speed centaur and potenza. I'm saving for a posh 12 speed campag groupset at the mo. Thst will probably be next summer now.

Wheels is the tricky one at the mo, I can move my fulcrum racing 3s over from my AA 653, or fit aksiums, or a pair of these (warranty spares from work for very cheap)

Looks like Mavic are in trouble so be careful with your Askiums

The Seatpost is nice. Just teasing now. Sorry.

I thought it might be fun to start an insta page for CMs. Have a look if you are that way inclined...

If this isn't nicked (?) then £400 seems a pretty good price

Does anyone recognise that green & white one? Failed to sell 4 times now, I've been in touch with the seller a bit but i'm very much on the fence about whether it's legit. Could happily give it a good home if it checks out.

I was keen also. It’s sold before at £280 but was relisted with a BIN and a reserve of something. I messaged whether the stem and seatpost moved freely and part of the response was “it’s a integrated seatpost” it’s down in New Cross and I’m in E17 otherwise might of gone and had a look. Tbf for £400 it’s good value imo. It’s whether the fella is legit as you say.

You need this next

That baanfiets is the same colour as mine. Maybe even the same one ? Did you sell it on eBay?

Hey, yeah it is - though this was a 56cm with a ding in the seat tube - sold on eBay to a guy in Dubai! (I was selling on behalf of a uni mate and couldn’t get the money he needed together for it - still gutted to have let it go - dream colourway for me)

I also ‘won’ a 58cm in the same colours on eBay but didn’t go through with it as the seller had listed as 56cm - all amicable of course... they all have that same gold decal on the bottom of the seat tube ‘imported by Reality Cycle Sport’ (which I think I’d found was based in Brighton)

I bought my Jubilee Jaar #247 when I lived in Leeuwarden 8 years ago.

have you been riding it fixed around town ? saw someone about 6 months ago just off broadway market riding one

Looks like someone finally pulled the trigger on the BIN! Had a few back and forth but was never hugely confidence inspiring, I watched it for a few weeks, did 217, 280 and 190 so I was fairly reluctant to go in at 400 after that. Good deal still, but there's a wheeler dealer in me that takes some convincing sometimes haha.

Nice. Still have it? Put one photos up if you do.

Well mine is 58cm and bought on eBay maybe 5years ago. So maybe the one you past on?

Well I was tempted and £400 is a good deal. seller just sounds bit of a arse to deal with. Probably be up for sale again by him I can well imagine
