When I posted about these lights in a thread, I got a couple of reactions and contacted the seller.
I figured more of you might be interested.

I can get my hands on 11 of these nice pre-WW2 battery rearlights:

NOS I think or as far as that matters.
They used to take batteries somewhat bigger than AA, but AA will fit too he said.

He won't go lower than €25,- (x 11 = €275 = £225) and since my bankaccount isn't really making me feel like Vladimir Lisin at the moment, I was thinking about starting a list to see who wants them.
Put yourself on it if you actually want one and I'll contact you as soon as I have them.

Price will be £24 + £2,50 / £5 posted from The Netherlands (don't know the actual weight yet).
This means, minus gas, I'll make a £30 profit on these, which is about 1 light + 10pounds for the effort. Fair enough?

(prov) dibs.
PM on it's way.

Took 4 hours to fit in a box..
Absolute hell, hahah.

Provisional dibs on seatpost and wheelset (formula hubs/black).
PM on its way.

**Now sold!
**

Cinelli Black 85mm - colour is a bit off £10

You think it'll get better with a polish?
Posting to Netherlands ? (regular airmail, price will be same as recorded inland, i think?)
If both so, dibs.

And these for the rear:

pre-WWII battery powered lights.
(PM me to see if I can arrange something)

I've given Miller 12hrs to respond and although I saw he checked his PM and this thread, no answer just yet.
Otherwise it'll (probably) go to Lui.

I'll start making arrangements for posting.

Miller please respond to PM!

gorgeous baby blue....

;)

Thanks for not buying the Gazelle mixte.
I'll look at it tomorrow evening and pick it up if it's okay.
Maybe I'll sell it again and then you got the 1st dibs ;-)

Haha, send him my regards.
Think he'll be kind of flabbergasted in that case.

Result of a 3.5hr drive around The Low Lands:

-Koga RecordPro '91 teamcolors with Corima carbon clinchers, Cinelli Tempo etc
-Mavic Open 4 CD 650c clincher on Sh600 tricolor.
-? 650c tubular in one of those where-did-the-spokes-go-hubs (can't remember the name?)
-2 Wolber TX on Sh600 tricolor.

Now I first need to sell some stuff to finish that Koga though..

I'm thinking about getting this bike (seller told me to pick it up for the price agreed on).

Oh yes, this is her nice "big sister": http://velospace.org/node/4729

Nice, I contacted that man too a few weeks ago, but it was on hold and asked him to contact me if it didnt sell. So 3 weeks later he actually send me an email and I could have bought it for a really nice price, but just couldnt afford (rebuilding) it after already buying the Koga Lopro you gave the heads-up for (thanks again for that, picking it up tonight). I even had the same plans like the one you're showing. :)
Sounded like a really friendly (older) man over the phone.

Out of interest (for now), will you ship to The Netherlands and how much will that be?
Need these or the 30cm's in black/black/black for a friends budget build, just waiting on his money.

I don't know.
Standoverheight is +/- 79.5cm, c-t = 54cm and crankarms 170mm.

Well, this is almost gettin funny.
DrSludge out, Miller up, up, up and away (?)

Don't worry, no problem!
If you're not sure, than don't..

I still got Tilover who'll buy it in 2 weeks if 4th, 5th AND 6th pull out. ;)

Ok, so more dibbers pulling out.
DrSludge as well as Miller got PM'd.
If 4th and 5th pull out too (wtf?), I'll contact you Lui.

Possible next sales will go a bit different by only dibbing and actually wanting it for sure..

Thanks all!

Tilover out too, so tofeelthefire: step up to the plate!*

Tilover, please respond to my PMs.
Just let me know if you want it or not, doesnt have to be arranged right away, but otherwise I'll start contacting other dibbers.

Bespokebicycle pulled out, so next up: Tilover.

Thank all for your interest.
Will let everybody know when certain dibs fall through.

Don't know if it's cheap, kboy.
I just thought this was a fair price, since this forum gave me some good information and deals on parts too.

Alright, I gave it some thoughts over the last few weeks.
It's in to good of a condition to convert and probably will not get ridden otherwise as I'm too big as well, so I'm putting this up for sale to finance a new project:

Oh, I'd love to get this in original condition - it's even my size..
For as far as I know, these are the Tulip Computers - Koga Miyata 1991 teamcolours/-bikes?

Ha, just bought it this evening!
