eBay and Craigslist finds

Some of it's quite beautiful:

'Fork: thick droplets breaking wind fork'

Yes,
poetic wimsy appeals more than techno-babble features ' n' benefits.
I also like the heads-up about Quentin's next film, '9 location Tarantino'

Frame: High carbon steel thick car frame

weight weenie project ?

I like the round group on that bike. The stickers say they are "happy". I want happy round things on my bike.

Those 'BO' brakes are a bit stinky.

Mavic SSC 440 brakeset

£200 start

Thanks! This is now in the stable.. on the Mrs' side. Pic is from me clown-riding it home...will lower seatpost a bit and bring saddle forward... such a nice frameset and super fast. Had a service recently with new cables and brake pads. Only thing is the downshift on the rear derailleur is a bit sticky but I'll take it apart or replace at a later date but it really flies! stiff but comfortable and tracks perfectly. TBH I'm a bit jealous! I want 853 in my size now.

to add to the bargain it came with some practically new gatorskins and a whole load of other stuff that's barely been used.

I think he put £10 as a typo or just to draw people in. He has put 'open to sensible offers' in the description
