eBay and Craigslist finds

I agree the frame doesn't look worth it, but it was built up with super record so must be above average quality...?
Overpricedish.

Replica

what does he mean 'replica', ie replica frame, fake D-A?

what does he mean 'replica', ie replica frame, fake D-A?

replica means
to purchase one or several stickers of a certain brand (commonly purchased from ebay) and lay them with the sticky side onto a frame of a different brand to the sticker in order to replicate that certain brand.

:) i read a lot of dictionaries in my spare time

basically he got some colnago stickers and slapped them onto a white frame, end of story

Yea, i got that after reading it,
but was too lazy to edit post.
FAIL on my part, pay no attention.

Is this worth more than than its posting price?

Hold your horses everyone...it isn't a colnago. I spoke to the guy and he is totally straight up, but it is an Orbit, 531c, nice enough, (I have one) but a Colnago it ain't. And vert drop outs. Move along.

holy crap, that dude lives like 5 miles away from me (cambridge) i might pay a visit and unravel this mystery.

you coomin' Scooobs?
yaaarp colnago it may be

^^^fancy lugwork and sure to go for a credit crunch busting price currently 245 with 4 days to go...

they are rare and really nice frames, but hilary stone is a cunt and knows it will go for good money. probably (conned) bought it off some old dude for £50

The Ephgrave and Hetchins Hilary Stone is selling were both at the Herne Hill Jumble.

I got there at 9am. He probably arrived around 7:30, or camped overnight.

When he left, his Mercedes estate was stuffed with old and collectable frames which probably cost £25 apiece.

early bird catches the worm and all that.... [URL="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=370141053166"][/URL]

all the other sellers seem to go out of there way to help hilary make loads of money

Sellers take care of good and familiar customers.

when i was at manchester jumble with roberto he got in early to set up his stall and bought everything that caught his eye...literally everything. it's a very different mentality when you are buying for resale. even the junk sold for a considerable profit.

After owning an orbit, they are trully awesome bikes. Probably nowhere as good as the colnago though.

As is anybody else.

nah it's definitely a carbon fork, got it with the frame, it's a bontrager touring fork if i'm not mistaken.

also, it's not a unipack, haha. much more laid back geometry and builds up alright, but not to my taste.
see this: http://www.cyclingcloseouts.com/ebaypics/ns/blog/red_white.JPG

don't even know why i'm posting this at all really, not trying to hijack, just trying to prove it's not a unipack!
