delicious.

Christ on a bike, would never have thought that was made in 48!

That picture made my brain hurt

hahahahahah
this is the best thing i've seen today

This is priceless.

I like to think he tried to build it like that

Yeah, maybe he was puzzled why the seat post goes ACROSS through the frame

" i think it is steel" hehe

are those semi horizontals? ;)

what are you all laughing for? relaxed geometry is not for everybody but it's good

Nothing to see here, move along!!

Shame it's been repainted though - most of the character has been lost in my eyes.

Someone was trying to sell that 3rensho on here. It had been rather unsympathetically built up and got a lot of abuse.

'Like a greyhound having a shit' was my favourite comment.

'Like a greyhound having a shit'

yes that sprung to my mind too

Thats my plan...

Bought the bike below off ebay yesterday evening. It's a 1987 Marlboro Montreal. Seems in good condition and (to me) a pretty bike to look at.... but no-one else was interested!! Nobody else bidded and I got the bike for £65 postage included. Am I missing something? Seems pretty cheap! Any thoughts welcome! :-)

I'd rather have a bit of original rust than new paint
Imagine the stories that rust could have told...and now it's dead.
Sob.

I personally wouldn't paid anymore than that, but it cheap/cheerful enough.

Bikes like that are just average everday bikes from the 70's, usually worth about £70.

But they are usually not that good looking and weatherbeaten/abused.

Your one is really sexy, love the brown saddle/tape. the geometry looks fairly sporting. And it is in stunning condition.

Looks like a lovely bike, you have done well. Leave it as is please, mudguards look great too.

Great to have some feedback, thanks! I'm really pleased with it.
It is being delivered to me next week at work...so the first time I ride it will be my usual 13 mile run home! Can't wait!! :-D

bit of a bargain, comlete track bike
