I have an idea that's probably why I love 'em.

That'd leave a lot of spare cash for some half decent mechs too... :)

Can someone please buy this and turn it into a fixed just to upset the guy?

That's some eulogy for what it essentially just a freakin' Peugeot.

Watch yourself...

I have a Harry Hall road frame similar to that (bit older and bigger) and IMHO its a very good frame, seems well put together and straight, rides nice. Just to give an idea I paid £56 for frame and fork last year (ebay) and it came from Manchester.

just realised i posted in the wrong thread...oops!

edit, just found it! fuck fuck fuck. why can't you just click on vintage parts as a sub-heading and get taken to it. stupid fuckein ebay!!

It works sometimes for me + the other guys post,
I hate ebay, we have 22+K feedback and we don't really bother with it anymore now.
jumping through 10 hoops to do something simple is just a waste of time.

Dogsballs how much do you think it should go for? It could easily double or more if you have that many watchers...

I reckon you could put in a listing 'if you don't bid over 24 hrs before I will assume no-one is interested and remove it from sale' to get things moving. kind of like an unoffical reserve. Sure I've seen that somewhere...

nah, it will be fine, well i hope so :(

it's worth £250-300

Do you think i could pimp up my old beater like that? I still have the dot matrix label on the chain stays!?

To anyone who's looked at this, or is considering it, DON'T FUCKING BUY IT....IT'S A DOG!!
My mate actually got this from grahaminlondon last week or so for £102, but as soon as i took a look at it i noticed there's a crack in the back of the seat tube, just where the seat tube meets the cluster at the top. As soon as i confronted graham about it he said he'd just refund the money, although he was adamant he couldn't see a crack, even though a monkey could point it out. This is probably the third or fourth dodgy frame i've seen first hand from graham. He's either being really cunning or is just pretty dumb and knows fuck all about bikes!!
The cheeky bugger hasn't mentioned anything about it in the listing, and of course, no photos of it.
So yeah....STEER WELL CLEAR OF THIS FUCKER!!
