eBay and Craigslist finds

I beg to differ. Carbolite, HLE Peugeots are nothing special just a little above Hi-Ten (debatable) but with impossible to find seatpost sizes and obscure french threads. £90 is way too much I'd much rather buy something decent from here for less. The parts? They're shit. After all the bike probably only cost about the asking price when it was new.

Do yourself a favour and at least buy something made from reynolds quality tubing!

your probs right i just liked the paint work, i didnt mean to imply it was rare (i dont know enough to say that), and i just half wondered if it was a good peugeot like festina ones with a flukey few good parts. Twas a silly passing thought.

yes my housemate has had trouble with finding seatposts for similar bike.

are you a reynolds devotee? i couldnt tell the difference between reynolds and columbus, (i realise that P isnt columbus just asking aside) would you say reynolds is better?
