erm, is this fake?
It's a very good fake it is as it has all the pantographed features of a Pinarello I owned that was a similar vintage, i.e. the GP (for Giovanni Pinarello) on the tops of the seat stays and BB shell.

It's like he used to have a bike with a rear 5 speed cassette so someone told him the inner chain ring on the front is 5 gears and with the outer makes 10... Inner 5, outer 10.
He's nwo applying that to a bike with an 8 speed cassette, his logic being the outer front is means "a 10" plus the 8 on the rear cassette means it's an 18.
I dunno, obviously the poor chap's very confused, he can't even spell his own name correctly. =(
I must be bored and actually did ask him to clarify. Response below, it's perfectly clear to me now (I suggested that the 8 speed cassette perhaps meant it had 16 speeds):
"listen its 18 speed take it or leave it.
or learn maths 8 + 10 = 16 em not.
8 + 10+ 18 fact. and i know for sure that every chain wheel on a crank adds 5 gears so 3 chain wheels is 15 gears. so please get your facts right ." -

"yes the gears have been upgraded as it now as campagnolo wheels set. with a 8 speed cassette and the crank as two chain wheels so the crank = 10 gears with two chain wheels, as each chain wheel = 5 gears. then add the rear gears 8, together = 18 gears regards garry"
def seems like he thinks each front chaining is 5 gears. its more likely a 16

Is it me, or is this an effing bargain (if you need one of these):

Ask him also to confirm for sure that the rear hub definitely doesn't have any internal gears.

Thinking to bid on this as a cheap geared bike. Any views on what a reasonable limit would be?

Alan Bonds, Bob Searl, Gary Fisher, Charlie Cunningham, Steve Potts and Tom Ritchey disagree.
True, I really like the Elgin,
just thought it might not appeal to many people's tastes especially if they wanted a bike to ride around London.

Thoughts on this,
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Roy-Thame-Racing-road-bike-cycle-bicycle-1970s-classic-/190429713263?pt=UK_Bikes_GLIt has been re listed, i lost out the first time on by only £2. I think it went for £92 first time round, imguessing the buyer had issues.
Worth a punt again?

2x8 = 18 gears? He's quite adamant see questions!
Posting options are nearly as complicated! I should start charging a packing fee, missing a trick there:
[SIZE=4]i will post this item and will cost £25 for sending as it will cost me no less then £11.99 posting fee + i have to add insurance but this is your own option for the insurance which will be a cost of about £5 pounds. so now the posting cost we are at £16.99 + i will need to add a packing fee charge so £25 will be ok. inless you know of a service that can pack it for you.
