eBay and Craigslist finds

I would LOVE to call dibs on this if that's possible!

Although I don't see any way this one is slipping under the radar, regardless of the seatpost.

Dear Father Christmas...

aah another one of those auctions here in Germany.
To far away from me unfortunately :(

70 bikes = £500 a pop. Bargain.
Group buy?

A few other bike forums are already discussing the same.

Depends if the average price of the bikes would make it worthwhile, you don't want to be the one left with the shitty end of the stick after a £500 outlay.

I think with a collection that serious, he would have catalogued it, or at least had a list of what he owned.
And if the price was really that much of a bargain, he'd have put the catalogue/list with the auction.

Bleibt auf der Hut!

Men Bike

weird listing, wrong tubing listed, no mention of snowflake rear wheel. Bargain? Stolen?

^No mention of the brooks either. Well dodgy

He mostly sells dodgy cars it seems, very traceable... my guess is that he's a naive seller who bought the bike for £50 down the pub for the purpose of a quick profit on eBay.

It's highly likely to be a stolen bike IMO.

noice

Fuck me

Thanks for the translation

Interesting frame shape, not a fan of the paintjob though

Delicious condition for the age though!

If someone bought one of those, he would have to pay ebay fees in excess of 1 million...

Delicious condition for the age though!

Agreed, has been restored so could be a recent job though?

ooh this could be relevant to someone's interests

Phil Sherwood rode for the Halesowen A&CC in the eighties as a Junior and then went on to be a mechanic for the ANC team working on the bikes of Joey McLoughlin & Phil Thomas. He was well known for his wheel building and I have a pair of Mavic SSC's on Campag hubs built by him, but without the 'Wheels built by "Phil Sherwood"' sticker. He also did a number of features in Winning magazine(UK edition) on bicycle maintenance.

Thanks I didn't know any of that, and it is interesting however it was more a question of grammer

Cheap fixed build for someone?

I bought this for a friend who wanted a bike built, he doesn't want it (bought an old (clearly stolen) raleigh)
£50 posted to whereever you are.
would make an excellent beater, and comes with a brake, seatpost, stem and lovely panto'd bars.

ta. fixed I think.
also I can safely say the welding is excellent.
(on the new track ends)....
If it hasn't sold by xmas- I'm building it up for meself with bits of old junkers.

Thanks but I just linked it for the forum :) would ride something around 56-58 as well!

Hi - Have you sold these yet?

hi. no. i still have them. had a couple of dodgy e-mails asking if they come with polaroids of me wearing them and stuff but if you want them, i'm sure we can arrange a deal?

that seems a bit expensive. this is much cheaper and probably does the same job
