:-( some of that is my money or doing, i had bright ideas for this. sadly it will not be.
funny though because when i checked this morning it had been totally removed and now its back on again.

I bought a similar bike for about £70 except was still original, slightly newer though. I saw a Raleigh Record Sprint going for a BIN with the gold for £120, currently on there

road or track though?

Road. Is there much difference?

track is a fair bit rarer, plus 531

Road. Is there much difference?

geometery. BB height. Bike designed for riding with gears on the road, rather than fixed on a track. Depends what you want. You know this though... Your on londonfgss...

Interesting frame. 500 canadian is like 250 GBP or so.

where are all the pictures of ducks and duck feet references when you need them?

Rachel Stevens has webbed feet. FACT.

Good deal? Just saw this go for 150 bucks. Campag, Lycett, Suntour. Needs some work but could make a nice Fixed Gear.

PIPPED ,,, so very annoying.

the bay should introduce a system of extending auctions by 30 minutes if bids come in with less than a minute to go. i have heard other auction sites do it. it would create more money for them and in a swift move do away with sniping. unless they must have shares or own in these sniping sites me thinks. grrr

That would be stupid, say good bye to half the bargains if the rules were as you suggested.

i dont think it would , within a month everybody would realise and bid properly. it doesnt stop people getting bargains in sothebys, bonhams or any other auction room where time isnt a factor.

Hello.
i am new to the forum.
i ll be visiting london next week and would like to buy a fixed gear bike.if there is a flip flop availability things would be much better.
i tried searching ebay but everything seemed to expensive or too crappy.
i v seen some things on gumtree.but cant tell which ones worth.
i know a lot about road bikes and mountain bikes, but nothing at all about fixed gear bikes.
i saw some bikes like this one.
http://www.gumtree.com/london/67/37996667.html
but can't understand why this one aint good (i really dont like th colour but what else appart from that)
thanks in advance for any replies.
cheers
