eBay and Craigslist finds

so effective, they can even rip forks to pieces if you apply to much pressure!

sensible to carry a spare squirrel for emergency stops

Bargain of the week?

I think so, was watching that too, but thought do I really need it? should have gone for it methinks.

This went pretty cheap in the end too...

Just read the discription and they are Oscar Egg Lugs not sickle.

Even though i think sickle lugs sounds better.

OK OK!

Rip-off of the week!

:-)

I'm only saying 'cos I looked at them, thought "they might be a bargain" then forgot to check how much they went for.

@gizmond - hardly a ripoff ;) i would easily pay that much for them!

wtf is going on with ebay??

In the past week, a Level track bike with (nearly) full NJS trappings went for £460 (to me), a swagger 531 track frame with brand new full dura ace went for £510, and a complete felt TK2 went for £275...

they have a sale on.

the end of the trend.

YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT!

Although pockets aren't as deep at the moment.

That means it has a Cinelli BB shell. You can almost make out the maker's mark on the rear brake bridge, but if the guy says it's a Cougar I'd see no obvious reason to think he's bullshitting.

if it's a cougar then it was built by terry dolan.

Polo bike (or odd looking at least)?

A Colnago with Record for £400 in the Planet X bike clearance.

dunno if a repost...a mad trike on ebay:

here


Very good deal for that Colnago.
