eBay and Craigslist finds

Switzerlanders are going bonkers.

I have no need for it but found myself bidding, was £151 about an hour ago..And looks bigger than a 56cm IMO

that somec is ridiculous. amazing how stuff like that just KEEPS turning up, makes me think you could have a perpetual holiday just driving around the quieter parts of europe emptying oldschool bike shops out of their epic stashs of NOS porn.
Price is steep, but probably not far off what you'd get for just the NOS shamals ;)

Buy it, cheaper than a yearly railcard from Reading!! ; )

Leave it out... It is lush tho!

With some contacts you could do probably just that, Bought an Eddy Merckx frame from a guy that has a contact in Holland that keeps on taking trade in bike from club racers from the 1980's /1990's who are now abour 50 or 60 and trade in their racers for Dutch style bikes, he gets the call then pops over with the estate car and gets all sorts of Delta braked, Colnago , Eddy merckx lovelyness for peanuts..

i like that fact that to prove his point, he posted a link to a bike with completely different handlebars.

3am finish, stoned listing? or in it for the US market? either way cash money will be made...

are they really worth that much? or better phrased is this a typical sales price for this frame? I have one, exactly the same size, in the white-blue color scheme, probably in better condition too. so far i have been too lazy to put it up for sale, thinking I'd be lucky to get above 200€.

I think the Motorola like that one and the 7/11 colour schemes seem to get the Americans most excited, but most tend to go around the 300-350 mark. What size is yours?

only because armstrong rode one i think...i love them though

I like his reasoning that any handlebars without brake lever is automatically a pista bar.
all those people riding kick back brakes that don't need brake levers are all using pista bars. according to this guy.

the 7/11 colour scheme is awesome. I have the gloves.

I want to see how that Pegoretti from last page looked when built up; needed fistfuls of spacers for that fork.

bananaman is DEADLY serious about his £100k price tag, I thought he was maybe doing it for some 'ebay market hype' , so made him a thought out and serious offer for a 25yr old bike made from pretty average materials and componants that has had 25yrs of use.

*"I have made sure over the last 23 yrs that no one breathed on it wrongley and kept it pristine which takes a lot of effort." *

It looks filthy to me, it can't be that special to him if he can't even be bothered to clean it and take some decent pictures. And the reason why he thinks it would be worth £100k to anyone else is just crazy, he is dreaming if he thinks it's worth anywhere near £1k let alone £100k. At first I thought, it must be a typo, but it's no typo lol.

bollocks photos on high end items on ebay = automatic pass.

hints they either can't be bothered (therefore can't be bothered to maintain said high end item), don't know how (common, its not rocket science) or are hiding something.

i think that guy is on the forum
