I emailed the seller to ask him if it could be downloaded from one of those various sites for free. His response:
*
It can. How do you think I got it? This is america after all. A hipster and his money are soon parted...*

wanker

Why is he a wanker? If someone buys it without doing their research then that's their problem. It's the same as people who pay above retail for secondhand stuff on ebay (which happens quite often). He's not lying to anyone about where he got it and he's not misrepresenting the book.

sorry, fair do's

lol, don't hate the player, hate the game.

he's not disclosing where he got it, either.

caveat emptor - yes.

but i generally find this kind of blatant exploitation of others' naivete rather distasteful. working as a financial journalist, i spend most of my days trying to simplify things which are largely intended to exploit others' naivete, so it's rather an ingrained sentiment of mine.

agreed.

and what's the the 'rare head tube sticker'? wtf? it's a sticker and it's been stuck!

Wait a minute! No fscking way.. I 'raced' this guy out along Uxbridge rd one night. Even told him about the forum. Wtf was his name? He flatted as I continued home.

how did you find those gems? I've been looking all day :(
Also the first one i'm particularly partial too.
But i must stop. At least until i'm in japan. yay!

liking the lugs on the armstrong, Gonna have to get myself something vintage like that. Is is me or is it harder to get anything old in the 52cm range all seem a bit bigger

i spent a lot of time trawling ;)

there are small older frames, the ones above are my size. although, people tended to ride larger frames than now. so a 52 is like a 48-49 today.

here ya go

i like the elswick the best ;)

dale- what do you think about the knight?

htay dale- what do you think about the knight?

pretty nice, i didn't really look at that much detail, but seems in really good condition

i'm tempted. would prob have to paint it though.

htay i'm tempted. would prob have to paint it though.

dude, i'm sorry, but it would be a shame to paint that nice frame in good condition and decals etc

Fair enough. Anyway i am not buying anything yet.
Not for at least two weeks, so its prob too ambitious.

lpg my mate had one of them shoppers that folded. It was a bit shit really, he found it in a skip and it broke after a few weeks.

Check out this bike, old eddy merckx bike, it's beautiful!

this went for £430. That's a good price, right?
I think so.

for a columbus frame £400, those brakes alone £100
