eBay and Craigslist finds

Damnit.

I've bought a few things from Hilary. All good, yes he's not exactly Mr Jolly, I'm just up the road from him so I collect the bits. My only critisism is that he appears to break perfectly good bikes but he is running a business. If you don't like him, don't buy from him, there are far worse around.

NOS raleigh 501 Crit frame, 23.5", no forks! £25 BIN in Somerset. Nice retroish frame, But you might need to file dropout to fixify.

damn!
so is it true that vivalo have been taken off as NJS status in japan? coz sure it's worth more than that.

yeah i been reading that and yeah it does seem cheap for a frame that looks that rad. im tempted but that seller has got some dodgy packaging feedback!

290 is a damned good price but I couldn't justify the cash right now. It would have been 350 with postage and this month is already making me feel poor. I'm going to get the Sunday build out of the way first then start looking for a new fixed project. Should be around about March.

I've got a mountain bike which is begging to be made into fixed too (It has track ends). Likely a polo bike of some sort.
Don't suppose you've seen a 135mm fixed/free anywhere cheap?

I like the look of this, I've brought a couple of things from this seller before. Always seems to have a few really good random things

Anchor (Bridgestone) frame on ebay

why bother with the US postings, it's a major PITA to get over here!

scrapper, don't know about that frame, he says has drops changed then says they are original, weird

yeah i just realized the name was only similar to the person i thought it was as well haha,
they say they are original again in one of the questions.
some idiot told them to put track in the tittle , damn it

It's not U.S it's Japan, And If someone wants a NJS frame like myself, your options are limited. Paying an additional $110 to have this shipped is not the end of the world.

random question:

How long should it take for someone to contact you about an auction you have won
I paid straight away.
Its been three days i think now

anyone?

I think ebay recommend you wait seven days before taking further action.

Just ask them if they've shipped and if they can provide tracking number/proof, then if they don't get back to you panic a bit. If you don't hear anything after 10 days you can report them

cool thanks

OK, japan is fine, US is just a mega pain and costly.

I would actually trust a Japanese seller more than a UK seller. No offence UK Headz.

Found my lights for this winter.

Roberto [quote]hardhat mmmm, pink. shame about the big fat dent or i might have bought it

Oh man that was my fault actually, i was helping my friend to fix his bike and the repair stand clamp squeezed the top tube! :(

just for the uninitiated, the first rule of workstand club, is that you NEVER clamp the top tube.

the second rule is that you NEVER clamp the top tube.

you fit a seatpost and clamp that.
