What do you think of this lo pro?

any opinions on this ?:

Super nice Orbit 531 low profile road / pursuit bike. Beautifull handbuilt bike from the early to mid 90s. A few chips but looks sick in the purple fade paint. Loads of upgrades and a new components to make the perfect fast city bike...

Reynolds 531 Competition tubing - fillet brazed and lugged.

Size 56cm c-c / 58 c-t - difficult to size this bike but should suit from 5'9 to 6'2 approx

Kenesis Carbon forks (...not cheap).

Campagnolo Chainset (42-16). New freewheel.

Rare deep rimmed Mavic CXPs. Front CXP 14 - 650c Michelin Pro Race. Clincher. Rear CXP 30 - 700c. Axial Pro. Clincher. Campag and Mavic hubs. Serious wheels. Brillinant condition.

Tektro Brake callipers. New Acor Levers. New Grips. Commencal risers. New cables/pads etc.

Rare vintage DEDA 3 bolt stem - bars can be removed or swapped out without stripping - like an ahead.

San Marco Rolls saddle - tried and tested classic! Ritchey seatpost.

are you selling it?

are you buying it?

If you're selling it, it's in the wrong section. If it's your current project then stick it in that thread rather than starting your own.

No.

EDIT; In answer to all the questions above

my bad, not really accustomed to the etiquettes of this board, so not sure where i should have posted this. i'm thinking of buying it..

Its a bargain!

How much is he asking?

Nice frame, with pretty average parts.

Its all relative I suppose, but I'd say as carbon forks go Kinesis are infact cheap. I'd use that as a marker for rest of the description, personally. Quite like the wheels though.

Pay no more than 99p.

No....Luke...It's a trap!

They've got Han!

Buy it, shine the metallic parts with the cuff of your jumper, and sell it to Balki for a tidy profit.

Hi,
I am interested in this fixie lo pro.
I hear that riding these decreases your senility quotient, whilst maximising favourable package showing to the laydeez.

Can I buy it please?
I have a mink coat to trade, or my son's (a future olympic hopeful) rear aerospoke.
many thanks.

i'm thinking of buying it..

I guess the correct question is "what do I think of this lo-pro?"

PinkPanther, where is it advertised? In addition, a price would enable us to gazump you... I mean assess its value.

gumtree

bumflea

haha.. jokers.. around 390 - too much?

£405

I wouldn't.

yeh, hippy your right, but i think there may be some discussion on it. why the hate?

Pay no more than 99p.

But the frame is "super nice".

Seriously though. I would have thought the frame was worth something (OK not loads), and the wheels seem OK. Not impressed by the rest though.

£390 would be fair if it didnehave that massive dent on the top tube

Is he running it fixed? Im guessing by the rear brake its SS. Them rear dropouts look like the downy pointy ones which are not ideal for fixed... a bit tough to see in the image.

NB: I know little of bicycles.

yeh, hippy your right, but i think there may be some discussion on it. why the hate?

Hate?

I simple stated I wouldn't pay £405 for the bike.

That's what you asked for.
