this is an interesting one. one month ago this was also on ebay, except it was sold as a complete geared bike:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190341785467&ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT
as you can see the whole bike went for £127.83, a nice price and a great buy for someone who wanted a cheap, good second hand bike.
it's now stripped down to the point where even the bottle holder is being sold individually. selling it all on in one go, on the same items list, all to finish in the same hour.. and apparently no improving work done on anything, just taken apart. an interesting lesson in ebay wheelerdealing to watch all of the items now and add up how much he makes off it all. His pic for the crank sale even has the frame attached! lazy.. i hope he's doing it in the name of funding his vintage track build... someone missed out on a lovely working bike so he could make a hundred quid profit.
