Thank you Kam

Well.. most of the time this:

A lot of the time this:

And soon this..

(None for sale despite thread title)

ooh that De Rosa is gorgeous - congrats :-)

As is the Bilenky. If and when I buy somewhere with the necessary storage and access, I'm having a cargo bike like a shot.

still a bit sad i sold this, but it didnt fit, and really didn't fit in with any kind of riding i did.

:(

:(

:(

not one sad face, but three Ed.

how fucking could you. that creamy bob was ace...

that is a very sweet thread, unlike other ones i visit here
so many really nice bikes! those LOOKs are awesome, not to mention miraclous yellow lo-pro Eddy Merckx, which i think by far is the nicest EM frame i've ever seen
does anyone know who owns it at the mo?

I bought a red Certini for £300, it had Campag Athena very little milage, Open pros.it was too small for me.
Sold the frame and forks for £300, put the gruppo on my Blue Coppi, plus wheels.
Sold the blue bike wheels for £120, sold components off Blue bike
So Blue bike now totally Italian
Made cash and now have an even better bike.
Once sold a pink Muddy Fox aluminium pro because I couldnt be fucked to service it,
still regret that..

Just to see if there is any interest in vintage machines!

Ah nice! I have a 1952 Ernie Clements - Caladoc

It's still got the original paintwork but it is looking very tired. Hoping one day to get the frame restored - until then I'm riding it and although it doesn't look the part it still rides like the beat that it is!

WOW, that Eddy Merckx looks fantastic. Theres an Eddy just down the road from me layed in the back of someones garage, might have to make them an offer !

Yay, my spoke card. (track day 2)

The sale thread got over 7000 views but I eventually sold one of my 2 frames.

Be nice to see some pics: )
Not much interest in vintage (as I would call 40s/50s), but many, many more of all my various machines here on my Flickr pages:

Me now Olik on here, lost my P/W to Viscount: (

My first bike in London. Not very sexy, way too big for me, but practical, saved me a load in transport, and helped me to work out what I wanted from bikes.

Then there was my first build. '74 Carlton Continental which I bought for £5.

It taught me a lot... the three most important of which are; i) don't use cottered cranks; ii) buy the correct size; iii) don't spend good money respraying bad frames.

I sold it because I realized it didn't fit, I needed the money and this Mercian came along:

My first wheel build, and my first track frame. It was just a bit too big, and I'd just managed to get a bargain Condor Pista... so off it went. It had some really interesting little details on it...

I was trying to operate a strict 3 bike max policy (1 road, 1 nice fixed, 1 beater) so I sold it. Despite the weight of the frame, and all it's faults, it has to be by far one of my favorite bikes ever. It's just a shame I never took a photo of it in it's final guise with 28c panaracers, mudgaurds and a carridice saddle bag.

Absolutely brilliant bike. Being cripillingly broke and the size being a bit too big forced the sale. Once I'm a bit more flush I'll probably get another.

heh, here are some o mine...

Time for a bump I think

My first fixie skidder

Some awful SS conversion that i sold on ebay for silly money

(bought for me, but was too small so converted to SS for a friend

My visp, which was actually great fun

Bought this for a project that never happened, it sat in my shed for over a year then sold it for what i bought it for

Used once before I sold it

I hated to sell this, but i was too small. It was such a lovely bike

I loved this bike too, so great to ride, but i just didn't use it enough.

Just sold this today

After my current cull:

This one's on Tenerife now (wheels with Xander)

^No, you sold the Simoncini?! That's somethin' you should hold on to for your whole life.. Such a great frame (and build, ignoring the Zipp)..

Tax people knocked.

I needed the money, and my wrist can't really handle dirt jumping. I haven't replaced it, though i might buy a XC bike next year

what did you get for the pinnacle Jack?
