Where's George Sportif ?? this is right up his street .....

Bang Bang!
24 front FTW! They're fine. Think that frame is bigger than mine though.
Got my ergo and persuits on now. More comfy for sure.

Knew you'd find that sooner or later.

I've got my eye on it just for a laugh.

I had my eye on it the first time someone was selling it a week or so age

ago

@ smithchild ~ thats the plan, my man!
@ Edscoble ~ thanks for the headsup about the chain! I really want to keep the yellowness tho, don't suppose you got any links for a site that has decent yellow chains?
@ teddy ~ :D
@ vinylvillain ~ thanks for the info!
After reading everyones replies I guess the bottom line is that its good for a starter road bike and at under 70quid its a bit of a steal!
thanks peeps!

At the price you got it you cant go wrong - its just that when people start handing over 200 quid (and i have heard some horror stories about people paying a lot more) for one then its taking the piss.

Thrash it till it dies, and save up for something special whilst your at it.

Someone has to buy this!! I'm close to Dagenham i'll deliver it for you:-) I put it a max bid that obviously didn't get to the reserve. Thing of beauty.

Seller doesn't do things by halves! City banker? Haha.

Well done, Dixon. Rourkes are flippin' lovely. Bike for life.

Yeah pretty chuffed with getting it at £700, that was my maximum, I think it hit his reserve on the head. He's dropping it off in London next week...........awesome, can't wait!

if you go back through this thread you should find notice of this when it was being sold somewhere as a complete bicycle.

25.00 pounds not 35.00,,,,, seems cheap

i am trying to win this and take it back to holland where it belongs :)

Do anyone know anything about the framebuilder? Have been searching a bit and found nothing on "h muller rijwielen" (guessed the first bit of the last word from the pics). Thing is that I have a resprayed frame that looks exactly the same to the very last detail from the pictures he has up on ebay. Mine was once dark blue, possible metallic.. Scraped a few bits here and there, no stampings anywhere except a faint "8" under the bottom bracket where the front tube meets it.

Would be nice to go back at least a bit to what it once was, or could be.

Cheers!

Oh, picture maybe

just grabbed myself the holdsworth - seems very cheap - we shall see.

thanks dmczone for the heads up
