What's worse with that Cannondale is that he's tried to colour match with the forks and failed! Why only spray the frame yet leave the forks - the wrong colour? :-(
Who will complain about colour difference between frame and forks, when the tyres are like that !
By the way: the majority of bikes have F&F in different colours. -

DC, what Pistanator is saying is that it's a bit pathetic how the owner went to the effort of respraying the frame another shade of blue and not even bothering with the forks coz he probably thinks they match anyway.

They look too close a colour but yet look odd cos they're different. If you get what I mean. If the frame was anything other than blue it wouldn't look as strange

6days left , worth a watch i think
I'm fairly keen on this to replace my nice frame (80's Reynolds 531 pro, hand built TT low(ish) pro) that got ruined when someone braked really hard infront of me and I pilled into the back of them. Snapped top tube and buckled down tube.....
you'll all probably hate it but I like the look of this to run as a fixed

Hmmm, I'd be surpirised if a Belgian Merckx was ever built to run with centrepulls...

probably not... but if the claims are true, maybe when he went with her to eddy merckx shop he asked them to adapt the frame to v-brakes...

Another freakin joker with a case of Majewkski Syndrome. 550 notes for a gas-pipe pug with a sturmey and some rado bits slapped on.

Some people's train of thought is way way out of whack when pricing up their pride and joy.

As far as I know there's never been a Merckx 'shop' in London, there have been plenty of stockists though, but I somehow doubt any of them would have readily agreed to send a frame back to Meise to have centre pull brazes added. In the ad the seller uses the terms V-brakes and centre pulls interchangably, which are very different systems, big buyer beware on this one is all I'm saying.

i was the winning bidder in an ebay auction the other day for an old bicycle and then i recieved an email from the seller a few days after saying
"please dont pay for the item."
when i asked if he had been offered more money he sent an email back saying
I listed the bike somewhat reluctantly as I needed to raise some capital, however since the auction's end I have decided I want to keep it and restore it as planned. Call it an attack of guilt. I felt bad selling something I'm very fond of. That is the truth, I've not been offered any extra for it.
I'm sorry if you're dissapointed. Hope my explaination is acceptable,
Best regards,some people eh?
