Surely worth it for that amazing picture of eddy on the front, non?

Bollocks and bollocks again, can't believe I missed this.

EUR 60.- is damn cheap for a Columbus Aelle NOS.
Just one bidder.

Both went under price, what a pitty...

Lucky buyer though...

Nice classic saddle on a horrible bike in Amsterdam:

whats up with that bike?

it appears to have dura-ace calipers and nice cranks.

for the patriots among you. :)[URL="http://cgi.ebay.it/SELLA-ROLLS-SELLE-SAN-MARCO-BICI-CORSA-SPECIAL-EDITION_W0QQitemZ200405974614QQcmdZViewItemQQptZRicambi_per_biciclette?hash=item2ea9207e56"][/URL]

Okay, maybe not horrible, but I don't want to give EUR 250.- for that.
Brakes are Shmn 600 or lower, ugly stem, fork not really nice, I guess frame same range (= not Model Campagnolo).
I'm certainly not a Campag freak or Shmn hater, but I just want to express that this is not the kind of product most people hope to find under decals of RIH.

By the way: there's a lot of RIH shit on the market. Not made by Bustraan & V.d. Kaaij in Amsterdam but by Cové in Blerick near Venlo. Perhaps this one comes from A'dam, but it's not their flagship.

The saddle is a rare classic tho'.
Once I had one, but didn't use it a lot. Perhaps it wasn't comfy. Review on Velobase.com is also "not very positive". Still a nice wannahave as long as it suits your bum or as long as you don't ride it.

the beautiful VICINI that went for 441.- a couple of days again is up for sale again..
with quite a high start price IMO..

Yeah that stem is god awful, forks aren't pretty, not worth €250. still, if you bought it and sold it in ldn on gumtree you could easily get £150 without the nice saddle and cranks.

my eyes must be bad, i thought i could read 'ace' on the calipers.

edit: should learn to read, he does say shim 600 components in the ad.

And the pics are not mirrored.
Cheaper brake arches have the cable attachment and QR on the "wrong" side like on these pics.
Dura Ace and most other hi end models have them like most brake arches nowadays.

not for long i bet

Possible Mercian frame? Lugs look right, but I'm no expert :)

seller: Previous owner had erased transfers prior to painting, he said it was a Mercian, but I haven,t been able to confirm this.

yeah right , buyer beware.

Good deal?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330377230324&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en

just fair, not a bargain

Still, it's a niceish frame hiding under a horrible paintjob though. Good enough for a conversion if it goes for peanuts.

Not sure of the quality but for the price you can't really argue.

I'd say he probably won him himself by trying to push the price up, and has now relisted with a higher start price... shame i thought someone had a bargain!
