Grapjas ;)

They are 650s. Therefore not this^

thats why i said "pair of HED 650s"!

Why on earth did this not sell................. any more?

the bidding went as high as 125 and the seller either got cold feet or sold it outside of the auction.

sorry if i missed something.

lo pro coppi anyone

I think this is NOT a Coppi, not even a copy...

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:

Easy to pick up for UK people. Ride to Harwich, take the ferry, get the frame, ride back home.

I reported it to ebay earlier this week, but I guess they're not interested.

WTF is with Ebay!!? I tend to avoid them whenever possible, but decided to list a couple of items recently (first time in ages)
I wrote in my description, as i always used to, that the buyer will be responsible for paying any Paypal fees. fine, right?
No fucking way! Ebay removed the listing. For reasons that it looks bad to buyers to suggest such a thing. WTF, worse than having item removed and then relisted!?! I think not. I can only presume that they were pissed off with been highlighted as thieving bastards on all fronts.

And then when shill bidding has been openly discussed on an internet forum (and to have been made aware of it) and not do anything. well. great. I think we should kill this thread, fuck ebay.

they are beautiful

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

Went for £172 in the end

it might have been shill bidded to 172.00, we wont know until its relisted next week

It's ok i suppose, if you like this sort of thing

This will do me, anyone fancy stoking?..

Who's heard of a classic Record triple chainset? Well, neither had I until this showed up:

It's a fake of course: it's a 53/42 with a Stronglight 32 inner ring added later using spacers after drilling and tapping the chainring arms. Other pictures here:
