Anyone know if this is a good price?

Yeah. Good price if you can pick it up.
Not sure the seller knows what he's talking about though, so the frame could be better than he's letting on. I like the seatclamp area, and it looks like there's a columbus sticker at the front yet he says alloy.
Nothing on it looks aluminium to me.

Yeah the photo's don't really help a great deal. Wouldn't be easy to collect but wondering if it's worth the effort and subsequent attention. 1hr left!!

That caught my eye the other day. Looks like columbus air to me. rather rare and expensive (since it has the seatpost).

I feel really bad doing this, but steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, aluminium is just aluminium.

Scienceeee!
Aluminium is aluminium, unless its an aluminium alloy.

Thanks for your input.
I am aware of that, I just assume that when someone describes a frame as 'alloy' they mean aluminium.

God, so fucking close to bidding... but can't.
Looks like that seatpost could be stuck as well.
If I was anywhere close I'd definitely take it but really don't have the time and also just bought this.

Not sure Simon's gonna stay at £62...

I backed out too, can't guarantee transport :(

Good price. It looks like a bitch to get to, and I know from experience of trying to get something picked up there that the retrobike assistance thread is no use either.

You'd never get out of there alive

You're right - I just looked at the listing and he says 'ally' anyway. Honestly wasn't trying to be a cunt...

so you bought that red one.
incredibly nice.
I know it's too big for me, but I felt all weird in the stomach watching it end.

It's fine! I might be wrong, just gonna go with my gut feeling that he doesn't know what he's on about.

It'll replace the Roberts I'm selling this week. I really can't have any more bikes but it's always good to have a spare frame, no?
