Ahhh... I used to have one of those when I was 12 or 13.... them were the days :)

Aw man, when I was a kid, I wanted one of those so badly.

Well Bobob & Mr Tom; You could rekinddle the boyhood dream by owning a rare piece of history!

Buy now......

Skint.... for the rest of my life i'm afriad.... I'm sure someone will buy it but not sure how much its worth, it's not 'ride-away' is it so maybe stick some pedals on and give it a scrub up, would make it more saleable, maybe :)

A Team banana is my commuter. Lovely bike.

How bad is the rusting? Any near the BB? Don't really care about the cond. of the components.

polo bike alert.

tummy banana.

Hi Chebeef

question - Team Banana frame - horizontal dropouts?

More interested in frame - depending on the rust, I might be interested - first dibs?

have sent PM

cheers Rudy

for that money is the perfect bike for a first fixed, another £60 in the rear wheel and you have a cool bike to star with

Would you deliver?

hey Pifko, I think Rudy is on the case. I'll give you second dibs.

Is this still available?

Ive always fancied a 'nana!

Hey Bagwag,

I did give second dibs to Pifko but haven't heard a dickie. PM me.

Sorry mate, I totally forgot (saw the email and got sidetracked) I think Bawbag is more deserving of the bike seeing as he doesn't have one at the mo :(

Well firstly , hi, im a new one on the forums but saw your advert and was wondering whether you stil have this clissic litle time piece for sale?

Is there a 531c version of this bike - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=120297771154

I bought this and I am not sure if it is geniune

Hey VP, not sure if there was, but mine didn't have the 531 info and it was an original.

hey sorry to bring up old (possibly dead) thread but just wondering if the bike is still available?

thanks

again sorry to dredge up a thread but im still in the nursery
just wondering what peoples thoughts on this bike were for a first fixie
its currently top of my list, until i can afford a plug or a full custom

they are heavy, old and shite.

buy two

If this bike is still available and everyone else above falls though (unlikely i know!) I'd be interested too. just about to start med school down here in london and would be great to have a fixed for my stead (though at the moment i am completely bike less so anything would be good!!)
thanks,
James

looks like a routier with a fancy paint job
