Holy crap, what did i just buy!?!?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220227189546&_trksid=p2759.l1259

i think the term swimming in bikes may take a new twist once i pick these up......

blimey

perhaps all stolen?

i wonder how many are stolen?

I saw that when I was looking for a BMX for the missus... You're ke-ra-zy! ;)

how you gonna pick them up? i reckon a convey is in order

that's a job lot of shit bikes.

good luck.

is that seller dodgy, or what?

an earlier auction, a bike sold for £205:

YOU ARE BIDDING ON A BEAUTIFUL FIXED WHEEL, AKA TRACK BIKE, SINGLESPEED, PISTA OR COURIER BIKE. I HAVE HANDBUILT THIS BIKE OVER THE LAST YEAR BUT RECENTLY MOVED NEAR A HILL AND CAN NO LONGER USE IT. THIS BIKE IS REALLY QUICK, I REGULARLY HIT 25 MPH ON A FLAT AND I'M NOT TOO FIT! THE BIKE IS PERFECT FOR A COMMUTER, CASUAL USE OR EVEN FOR THE VELODROME

Hmm, might not be dodgy.. it's fairly easy to end up with a pile of 'meh' bikes if you're the right kind of person. Just ask this guy.

Although, the likelihood is that some of those bargains have been 'liberated' at some point.

On the other hand, he is also selling a saddle and seatpost. That looks dodgy.

That looks like a whole fleet of polo bikes!

You're gonna need one of these

yeah, it does look kinda sketch but i'm gonna try and find out if any of them are pinched or not.

got access to a van, gonna collect tomorrow hopefully. of course there's a whole pile of crap in there, but as mike says, polo bikes. if i can get some of them up to scratch without buying parts and whatnot, it could be like a bike library or something.

plus there's supposed to be a claud butler & a marin in there too... we'll see. i'll let you know how it goes....

Seriously xsheep, what are going to do with them?

Oh I see.

you've got it all
workshop
mallets
bikes

id say they are more likely to stuff he has picked up at the rubbish dump and such places rather than stolen bikes.

You're gonna need one of these

:D

I'm sure you could fix up five of them and flog them off for twice what you bought the lot for, keeping back the good(???) stuff.

:[

you might want to speak to Tom he works for these guys greasefingers.org for the stray 48 bikes you won't want

I don't think your gonna be able to fit those over your shoulder :)

Agreed, a bargain

I reckon Hacked2 would take a few off you !

Fuckin hell sheep!
Better get some of those hooks up on the back (white) wall. If you can put those ones up that we bought from ikea, ill make another trip down there and get some more when im back next week. Then we can stagger some of them... or im not too sure where else we can put them.

??

i'll come along to ikea. i want more delectoballs! i'm well excited about the bike craziness that is about to ensue in our house. will is not...

that's funny

I reckon Hacked2 would take a few off you !

I reckon he will not .............. too risky if origin unknown.

I think the greasefingers.org people would appreciate some of them.

But check them out first for usable chainsets - pedals - bars - seats etc and donate them to the open tool box group on Sundays.
