PRICE DROP
to 180 pounds sterling posted from Poland

This price is final. Any takers?

Yep, she's available, PM me.

Price drop to GBP 190

This is a great foundation for a period-correct vintage high-end road bike with brifters - at least that would definitely be incentive for me :)

The wheelset is also for sale (Dura Ace 7700 hubs, Mavic CXP30 rims, 28 flat spokes each, quite a bit of wear on the rims from braking, otherwise just fine, I rode them - and fast! - without any problems). Pics of the wheels:

I've tried a million different stem lengths, the 3T Status in the picture was a 105 mm, and the bars Ritchey BioMax - highly recommended, another one of these is on my other road bike and I love it!

I love this frame, we have a history together. But, after countless attempts to adjust seat angle, position, stem length, height and type, I've finally come to terms with the fact that it's just too small for me. Bummer. My current racer has a 60 cm seat tube and it fits perfectly, so there you go...

Anyway, don't mind the setup in the pic too much - I kind of just slapped it all together for a nicer picture, hence horrible handlebar/seat position and no bolt in the cranks :)

For sale is a ca. 1990 Batavus Professional built on Columbus SLX "superbutted" tubing.
The fork has flattened profile.

top tube-seat tube size: 56-56 cm (center-center), or 58 cm according to what is stamped on the bottom bracket

The paint is chipped or scratched here and there (everything shown in the photos), chrome may need polishing, but nothing too serious; I rode the frame for a few thousand km, raced it in the mountains, but it's never seen winter or mud. It was a fixed for a few months, then - much more appropriately - a road monster with Dura Ace and 600 Ultegra.

Included at no additional cost:

• Shimano traditional bottom bracket (BSA)
  
• Shimano headset
  
• accent 27.2 mm seat post
  all in perfect working condition.
  
  

I'm looking for [EDIT:] 190 quid posted. It's located outside the UK, so I'll do my absolute best to protect the frame for shipment.

It seems like the Beijing Constabulary are being entirely sensible.

^This.

Do people still go around on bikes without brakes?

Believe it or not, some will still maintain it's actually 'safer' that way...

Ok, not as shocking as the recent ones, but come on... at that price, with this potential - such a fugly result?

Oh dear...

Good in theory, looks shit in practice.
Probably a repost, too.

Wow, I've been literally LOL'ing constantly for the last two pages. Quality work, guys!

From now on, this will be my life's quest. I'll keep you posted.

For sale as is. A bit of a shocker at first sight, imho.

not sure if repost. but found on ebay.

So, USPS employees ride these? Pretty fly for a postman's bike.

^wow, that's pretty accurate!

I totally expect getting gtfo'ed, but still
I really like the frame and how it goes with the raw carbon look of the front wheel. The saddle probably wasn't the best choice (neither was its position).

"having happened in Poland"
nobody would do anything about this, no matter who you would report this to.

Of course not, but I would report it anyway. If only for a closure, as now I know I didn't do ANYTHING, except for posting here and am very likely going to meet this guy again at the exact same spot - if not next week, then maybe next month.

Until yesterday, I had assumed that bloodthirsty white van-driving lunatics only occured in all those schocking webcam clips from the UK on Youtube. Nope...
During my weekly commute, I was waiting to turn left here http://tnij.org/ol0s to turn left and leave the two-lane street and enter the segregated bike lane (barely visible as a pale red strip at the top). This guy came from the East direction and wanted to turn left. At this point, I usually want to cross as soon as possible because there might be a tram coming (which was the case), so the white van was waiting for the tram to pass, blocking me from crossing the two-lane. There was a lot of room so I gestured at him to move a bit and let me pass - which he ignored and, as soon as the tram was gone, started turning sharply, forcing me to move away, so I automatically 'pushed' myself away from the van's side (didn't hit it or anything), upon which he opened the window and threatened me. I did not reply and he got out (!) to chase me on foot, shouting friendly greetings to the tune of "I'll kill you, motherfucker." It was not safe to cross at that point, so I had to spin it really hard and ride the wrong way along the two-lane road. After a moment, he sort of gave up so I stopped and shouted something like "are you freaking mad, man?", so he started chasing me again LOL.

As much as I'd want to report this f*cker, I didn't manage to see his registration plate, so I only know it was a white Mercedes-Benz MB100, just like this one http://en.advisto.com/user_images/53750_9576_photo_pernot_020.jpg, though, having happened in Poland, it probably won't be very useful for you lot. Oh, and I was on the heavy, Nexus7-equipped winter commuter with dynamo hub lights, so actually running away from a mad construction worker was a bit of a challenge...

Hey, that's a good deal and I hope you don't mean me as one of these two pull outs, since I explained myself quite clearly, I believe. Anywayz, here's a free bump for you, Mr Bump ;).

Yours for just 1340 quid (saddle not included, of course):
