me and my housemate bought the Carlton. sorry guys. if its any consilation it wast a brooks, isn't all original, and front forks had been nicely touched up by some fucked up paint.
Had to drive into the middle of nowhere, both phones ran out of battery, 2 pubs, angry dog, 2 alarms set off...and finally at 12.30 turned up and bought. They guy has around 200 bikes I'd say, odd. -

They guy has around 200 bikes I'd say, odd.really now, 200 thats a bit odd, i do wonder where he gets them form, he told me he works on car's but then i assumed he went to boot sales and stuff, where are all the bikes kept?
he dose live so out of the way you begin to get a little werided out.

He said he got them off a guy that does house clearances. yeah, I was mentally jotting down interesting looking bikes as he showed them to me, reckon i could've come away with 3-6 decent bikes from there. he has a carlton pro am for sale (http://www.gumtree.com/london/62/61742762.html) but a lot more. Its annoying he's done this dumb job of painting the front fork, found it for my housemate and made sure we went and got it. but not sure what the best way of going about the restoration would be, re-chroming and a brooks is the start i think, its got a real mish-mash of parts, so that may need consideration.
-
ahh ok, makes sense i guess, he said he had other bikes but after the way he acted i don't want to deal with him, when i got the other bike he got pissed off i didn't come right away i dunno, weird,
if your happy with the bike awesome, i just found the way he dealed with it annoying, no one else I've dealt with sells things to 3-4 people and makes them race to him to get it first

the guy was a few pence short of a pound and an obsessive hoarder by the looks of things. We'll be bringing it down to Cranks next week, if your still around Brighton?
-
i'm always around brigton, ha, yeah i didn't know what to make of the guy when i met him, but suffice to say i won't be seeing him again.
in fact i'm meant to be going to cranks on Friday with Tom. Bird to play with our bikes and get something ready for the paris run. if you there with it then awsome.

i think seller cannot measure for toffee though

EDIT: Sorry. It was the auction page for a Cannondale Road Race 3.0 (probably 1991), aluminum frame, fully dura-ace equipped, with cinelli bars and stem and selle san marco saddle.
I won the auction and wanted to know what you guys think of the roadie. It will be my first road bike in over 22 years... never rode an aluminum bike before.
thoughts?

Steerer tube seems uncut, 40mm worth of spacers? :)

Wonder why he dont put up BIN or Best Odder auction? Well out of my price range but looks great.
Only just getting into all this road / track bike stuff lol. Only got a basic cheap bike but need something with character and history.
