Shame their forks arent in the sale. I’d have snaffled a pair.

Was looking at Assos bibs the other day as mine are becoming transparent. Couldn't seen any long leg options anywhere, have they been discontinued?

The most amazing seat post topper I've ever seen https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/townsend-raptor-mountain-town-bike-bicycle-/1310835262

That's a tandem rear handlebar stem holder IIRC!

Arundel carbon (30g) sideloader cages for £38 on sigma.

Don't know why anyone would buy anything more expensive than a 29g £7.50 Tacx Deva personally!

Probably in the 'I have lots of money to spend on bottle cages' kind of way...

@dammit was looking for some side loaders and these are nice... but pricey.

I have arundel on both of my bikes. Side and non side. They are amazing and I like the fact that they have 2 set of holes so you can adjust the height...but yeah they aren’t the best value for money on the market, by far..... But at this price, you get will most likely get your money back if you ever want to sell them....

Got these, do the job pretty well

Most ridiculous bargain I've seen on leboncoin since... possibly ever.
It was apparently genuine too, she was just clearing out the garage, wanted it gone. I saw the ad 40 mins after it had been posted, too late, already sold.
She sounded like she'd already said that to a few people by then too...

Sometimes you get lucky on LeBonCoin.fr, especially if you are far from a big city.

The Champagne region is a short drive from Paris therefore vintage bike dealers drive over to pick up any italian steel / look / anything with Campag priced sub 150€.

Exactly. Much less choice and general volume of sales than in Paris (or even Lyon), but equally more chance of a proper bargain.

I'm oddly tempted by this mean chopper-style old tandem for 300€, but, storage space, getting it on the back of the car... and the fact that I'd probably never get around to restoring and using it...

Definitely agree, you barely see anything like that in the Lyon area, most interesting ads are often 1hr away at least..
Your story reminds me, a few years ago I got really lucky while I was in the Drome region and managed to get a colnago master in full croce d'aune for 45€.. within 10 mins the guy was getting ridiculous offers from everywhere but since I was there with the money, he let it go saying people were crazy.

ps: Are you in Lyon? I see both ads are in the Rhone-Alpes region.. ;)
