eBay and Craigslist finds

Did you take the red pill or the blue pill? Did you see the black cat.. twice? No? What about a white rabbit?
Yeah, it's only 50cm though so for the litt'luns..

Looks like a good singlespeed.

hippy It should be a road bike with a nice groupset on it. No icky fixed conversions on this please. :)

Totally - man i wish it was my size! The painting job kind of reminds me the Cannondale Ironman frames:

Wild!!!

errrrrrrrrrr!

Roberto: Are they Ksyrium tubs??

New boxed chris king headset - £40 + p&p (is that cheap? + Gloucester)

Also some profile racing cranks on there for the bmx/mtbers amongst you

Those gumtree ads always sound so dodgy..

56cm (90s?) 531 Peugeot all Campag - Cheapo conversion anyone? £50 squid

I might have a cheeky bid on these, I have a std.metallic front one

a red one on the rear of a fixed will stand out like a baboon's arse

I met a courier who had the brakes if i remember right - his whole bike was red, even crank bolts!

Hippy - yes think they are, why?

Oh my just found out i sold a pair of Phils in black for £137, jesus, i wish i could keep them :(

Roberto:
I didn't know they existed, that's all. Every man and his dog races on Ksyrium back in Oz but I've never seen anyone on tubs.
£137? Man, I woulda bought a second set!

jefefelipe I might have a cheeky bid on these, I have a std.metallic front one

I had a pair of these, plus hubs, levers and chainring. Sadly (for you) it was on a BMX (1980's Raliegh Nightburner)

ubiquitous model for the time I think

although the ad. does say that they WOULD LOOK GREAT ON A BURNER

not on ebay but i just found a box of goodies in the warehouse at work
Fluorescent yellow selle italia saddle!
Bright Purple selle italia saddle
2 white Vetta Saddles (going on my bikes)
Metallic purple flat bars (matching brake levers and bottlecage as well)
i think im going to have to build a bike for the purple saddle/bars/levers/cage
A large box of Old LOOK bags and Lycra

£79+12 P&P is a bargain if you compare it with this at nearly £350: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PLUM-Vainqueur-track-pista-frame-Campagnolo-AS-NEW_W0QQitemZ220132609908QQihZ012QQcategoryZ98084QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
the pics seems to be have been removed, but it's a trad euro style steel track frame.
I saw this frame as a complete bike at a jumble, somebody bought it for £300, and now the frame and all the parts are being sold separately, like the cranks:

so somebody's making a tidy profit!

Hippy replied:
There's a big difference though between a track frame ridden a few times and the beater that went for £79.
Those cranks look interesting - the arm to spider join in particular - but "Mygal"?? That'd have to go!
It's Roberto (lfgss poster) selling these by the way.. his household the envy of everyone.. :)

I wouldn't call a 753 frame a "beater", by "beater" I take it you mean a cheap (when new) low quality frame. What's the big difference, apart from a few scratches? That Plum frame is hardly worth more than nearly 4 times the price. The seller is quite clever in selling it at that high "buy it now" price, it's a bit cheaper than a new custum frame, a bit more than new off the peg frames, but still high enough for a big profit.

Did the Plum sell for £350? Yes it did. Someone was prepared to pay that for it so it must have been worth £350. To you or I - perhaps not.
'beater' was too harsh. Still, the frames were in different leagues and the prices reflected that.

Any lycra shorts? Also you got any pics of the bags? I need a new one. Cheers.

I'll be taking photos next week to put things up on ebay,
there are shorts, bibs,3/4s/full legnth pretty much everything.
Some real nice track mitts as well.

I'd be interested in some shorts too :)

Now all the lycra fans come out of the closet..
