For Sale: The most beat-up beater frame in the universe, from an east Berlin junkyard

Ok, I am selling this as we move back and we do not have the space to take it with us.

This is the most beat-up beater frame in the universe, rescued from an east Berlin junkyard some years ago. You will win any 'most rotten' competition with this easily.

It's basically a whole bike including those bars and a huge old ugly Lepper leather saddle under the plastic bag, but the rear wheel and chain will not be included

It's a real old socialist east german frame, funny enough with singlespeed ('track') dropouts at the rear, about 54cm in size or so. I never cared for it, but thanks to the gaspipe tubing it's still not broken apart. It weighs about 1000 kg.

£20 (because of the rather new handlebars and other weird old unique socialist parts)

Collection in 162 Lancaster Road, W11 1QU, around the corner of Ladbroke Grove station.* You can collect anytime, but only today or tomorrow (Friday or Saturday). I will be here all the time.* No need for PMs, just dibs and come here and collect, my phone number is on the front door just in case. If you dibs and do not come around to collect you will burn in hell.

:-)

Nos?

price drop: 15 QUID

^ nah, it's still too good for the scrap yard, as it's neither bent nor broken.

last price drop: 10 QUID

for anyone coming today: anytime is fine, apart from approx. 1pm-2.30pm, so better before or after

Given the interest in the ratbike/beater/frankenbike thread I'm amazed someone is not all over this.

Maybe post it in there as well?

Yeah, and it's made by socialist production plant (VEB) Möve which reads almost like the english word "move".

(says that it is from the 50s)

If you're splitting I'll take the sainsburys bag.

that's not a sainsbury bag but a royal borough of kensington and chelsea recycling bag, therefore the property of the royal borough of kensington and chelsea, so I'm afraid I can't sell it on.

the lock however I could, but I won't.

your eyes betray you

i would so have this but wont be in london for a weeks or two :( :(

I'd take it, if I could ride away on it.

bring a rear wheel and a chain and you can! today is the last chance, if this does not sell I will give it to my neighbours
