"It just a mail term that means its passing through the mail system from area to area."

You judge me and call me "the regrettable conclusion is that you are at best a time-waster and at worst a scammer." in e-mail

i also typed in my email of this morning,

It would be nice to be pleasantly surprised, in which case I would reach a happier conclusion!

so if i've been prematurely over-sceptical, apologies;

the wait continues...

update

bicycle yet to arrive, tracking number provided by krneticv, 'CC154857275RS', is to a Russian address (!)

don't be too hasty to condemn

When tracking on Parcelforce there's a period when the item doesn't 'move'...I often have italian stuff shown as delivered on Poste Italiane ( usually to the export hub ) but shows as Milan Delivery agent on Parcelforce, with 'advised' as the status. It appears that the parcel has been mis-delivered to a recipient in Italy on the local tracking, but it's part of the export route.
This basically means it's sat in Milan airport for at least a week until someone sticks it on a plane to UK. Once it's arrived here, you'll get 'International Hub' processing then 'Local Hub' and finally 'on van' within 48 hours. The first time I was left waiting over week I thought I'd been scammed...
If hadn't been sent you wouldn't have a tracking number.

We've got movement.

Delivered!

Apologies due ????

Apologies due ????

an apology has already been sent (to the honourable, reputable and trustworth krneticv), actually, more than one, :-)

the bicycle is a beauty - the colourful Campag detail is really worth the packaging,

just getting it all checked by PhotoBen tonight - will then send over the mullah;

if anybody else is interested in classic velos - get in touch with krneticv as i'm told that there's more in his collection up for grabs!

btw, if only i'd have found the man-in-question's flickr stream before getting all suspicious, such hotheadedness/doubt (on my part) would more likely have been avoided! it makes such a difference to see who is the real human behind a forum-name!

may the Serbia-UK trade-route flow with bicycle parts and cash forever longer (until we've got enough classic bits of bicycle, and they've got enough Sterling £!)

A happy ending after all - good.

Did you find out what tubing it has?

pretty sure that it's SL, as SLX was introduced in 84(?)

both you cutiepies have some rep..

in good condition
frame size 56x56

visited the local Cycle Works this evening,

• good condition: verified
  
• frame size is actually a little smaller (*)
  
  

£600, as pre-agreed, has been paid via moneybookers, :-)

• i've been informed that the frame size is more like 54.5 (ST) by 55 (TT) - as roughly confirmed by my tape measure just now - this is a shame as 56x56 had more chance of fitting me; although, whether or not the bicycle would definitely fit was always an unknown i guess!
  
  

so, in conclusion,

this fine velo has made it to Lundun Town, courtesy of krneticv; it is now offered to the forum for the same cash as i've paid over to krneticv, £600; so PM me if you want it, otherwise, a new Classified posting to follow shortly..

.. on top of the £600 paid to me, you'd need to buy your own saddle (as the Colt is being offered to Fannythemac as his was stolen recently);

.. also, unless you like the sound of changing punctures using the old-school rims/tyres (which pre-date the modern inner tubes!), you'd need your own wheelset - or you'd need to build new wheels from the hubs that it arrived with (interestingly, 32-spoke on the front, and 28-spoke on the back) by buying new rims and spokes; labour for the build from my local Cycle Works would be £50 (25 per wheel), have requested a quote on the cost of the rims and spokes in case of that's of use.. will probably sort this out myself in advance of any listing, and add the cost onto the price..

having been restored, with the intention of riding as a geared bicycle, due to being too small, this bicycle has been listed on eBay, then listed on the forum, now listed on eBay again, so as to mention/list/post on Retrobike - where there's hopefully more potential purchasers (and thereby problem-solvers!)..

Sigh
Again, just saying that it's not for sale here while going to the trouble of making links to eBay, Retrobike and previous sale threads isn't really removing an ad. It's just a cheeky way of keeping it.

@j-bad-ass, its more about the (un-concluded) story than any ad(s)..

.. they are possibly only helpful/relevant to me, but just in case anybody else wondered what happened to the bicycle sold in this thread, the links help illuminate the tale (!)

a thread's a thread buddy, what's been posted is relevant,

how about focussing your energies elsewhere?!!

(perhaps more constructively?!)
