eBay and Craigslist finds

Who searches for Ambrosio!?

---

Me: Need to find nice bike. Need to enter appropriate words to find nice bike on ebay.

{thinks abit}

Me: I know, lets search for Ambrosio! They rebrand crummy systemX stuff with their rice pudding name. That will lead me to a nice bicycle!

WTF!?
They make bloody good rims;

Shit! You are right. I take it all back.
I'm now only going to search for Ambrosio things. If a bike doesn't have rice pudding parts, well then, I aint fucking buying it!

I love rice pudding. In fact I might buy some for lunch.

His "project" which has to go due to a girlfriend vs bikes-in-the-living-room clash, or something. It's a thing of beauty though.

Looks nicely done, one to watch...

Nice Rotrax Path on ctc, think it may be an old friend of this forum ...

Seems dodgy. If it didn't I would have already bought it.

Check out the other auction, description seems odd on that one too.

That Ribble was MINE and it was NICKED!!!!!! It was nicked by a postman who was delivering it to someone who bought it off me....I got screwed by Parcelforce over it too as the insurance cover didn't cover the full loss...the guy who'd bought it and I shared the cost difference....it was a nightmare!!!!! about 3 years ago.....

Not sure what to do about it....any suggestions?????

Wow. Mad shit.

Go and steal it back?

I'm feeling a bit shit now I've seen it again....thieving twat

did anyone on here win it??? if you did, either don't pay or go round there and give em a good kicking for me....!

I've just reported it as a stolen item to ebay.....

I mailed the seller earlier, seemed pretty genuine to me. Think it is a girl selling her boyfriends / ex's bike by the sound of it. If I was in London I'd be all over it.

Edit: she said the cranks are miche, confirmed the hubs are record but said she didn't know if it had tubs or clinchers

Double Edit: if you get stabbed I ain't sending you flowers

I can confirm the tyres are my very nice old tubs...running on Fiamme Hard Silver rims (I think, although could have been Mavic GEL280/GL330, can't remember....but nice wheels all the same, tied and soldered if I remember right)......I bought that lovely Syncros stem of Jake Thackray, a 90's cyclo-cross star! You'll find it's got Cinelli 65's on it too....still with my purple splash tape!!!

......thieving bastards!!!!

It's going to take a while for me to calm down!!!!!!

Contact the seller.

If she's selling her ex's stuff then chances are that she's horribly fucked off with him and wouldn't mind a bit of revenge.

Ask her if her ex was ever a Parcelforce driver, and hopefully bingo.

Wow, I foresee trouble on the horizon. Hope you get whats rightfully yours Velocipede65

oh and she replied to me this morning saying it was her husband selling the bike

velocipede65 - hope you have some joy.

I actualy tried to buy it, but came up as sold when I clicked the BIN... shame as I'd have been happy to help you get it back.

He has been trying to sell that for at least 9 months now.

Maybe he should try lowering the seat.
