Yours for €400 including delivery in UK/most of the EU (Finland & Portugal: + €20)

Ooof, that's gorgeous.

Holdup.. You're selling a titanium full bike, Campagnolo specced, for 400 euro's!? Man, talk about bargains.. Very nice Peter!

just out of interest...how does it weight?

What colour is it?

edit. very, very tempted.

thankfully it is too small. but beautiful. exactly what i would be after (should I have any money and the frame being a few centimeters bigger).

deserves a bump.

Thanks upstart & Rodolfo! It is Ti but Van Tuyl is not a well known brand and the groupset is not totally Chorus so I think 400 is a good price.

just out of interest...how does it weight?

Can't say exactly, as my scales only tell me in increments of 0.5kgs. Measured that way it's 9.5kgs

What colour is it?

Titanium colour, with mostly green and yellow accented fadey bits on seat tube, head tube and seatstays, covered in transparent lacquer. I'd sandblast it back to 'raw' Ti if I were to keep it.

gorgous. if only I had monies.

jesus i swear a titanium frame on its own would be over 400

Me too...

Peter seriously you could slap £200 on that and no one would bat an eye, tempted to buy it myself and make some very easy money.

I think there would be some frowning Tel ;-)

As I said, it's not a Moots, Litespeed, Van Nicholas or any known brand, but a Van Tuyl made of Russian cold war left over Ti.

Then again, I've been known to make some stupid mistakes in pricing bikes, so this may well be one of them ;-)

pm'd

seen that.

Bargain

I think there would be some frowning Tel ;-)

Well there would be now...

Stupid mistake or passing on a bargain? It's all good as long as seller and buyer are both happy.

If the bike is still for sale, e-mail me on kriskoyle at yahoo co uk

I can't PM you yet as I'm a new user.

Here's hoping!

Todd was first, I've pm'd him.

Will update the thread with info on availability tonight

Cheers

PMed

Just to clarify, am I second in line, or do I lose out to those with PM privileges?

I'm confident that Todd will secure this bargain by this evening, but should things go awry, criskyboy is second and Morgasm 3rd in the order of the dibs...
