eBay and Craigslist finds

netherlands have the (averagly) tallest people of europe iirc

I believe that's true. It's so cheap, wonder if I should have a bid...at 6'3"...

They seem to breed big cyclists in Holland; at least their frames are too big for me. This nice Gazelle has a few hours to go and it's still going for a song:

listed this dented vivalo before, but its got 45 mins left and this time its only £92 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320539790678&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_2577wt_1139.

and its too small for me ^

The owner of that Vivalo has his mates shill bidding on it (and wants £350) - there's a thread for it thats been linked earlier in the page where there was some doubt as to whether it would be fixable anyway given the thin lugs. I reported it to ebay earlier this week, but I guess they're not interested.

Wouldn't bother - its (probably) not a fair auction and won't be cheap to fix, obviously each to their own if you feel comfortable with the risk.

fair enough! thought it might be worth a punt at under a £100, but if its rigged forget that! (sorry i missed that thread)

would have been a real nice frame minus that dent.

I've been watching it out of interest - be annoying if it did go for £90 in the end (as you say, it probably is worth a punt at that sort of level!). Wouldn't want to bid on principle though :)

A stunningly beautiful hand-built NJS Vivalo Special Japanese Keirin racing track frame in excellent working condition

the paintwork is almost flawless, you could be fooled into thinking this frame was brand new

Are we talking about the same bike here? I think it might be worth bidding then trying to grab your money back for false advertising

Why on earth did this not sell... nobody want to spend over £100 on a steel track frame any more?
