just do what I did and report it to ebay, and yes if enough people do it, it'll be wiped

I'd have had a crack at this if it was down here.

Good wheels usually indicate alright bike.

Looks good, even in that crappy photo. Many don't get the golden rule of fleabay... "It's all about the photos". :? Do they think watchers have CSI zoom'n're-rez capabilities?
Well, no, it's not a pushbike, otherwise I'd be pushing it...

Not sure if I trust the seller. Just copies text and pics from other auctions?
Not to mention that the title describes a different bike altogether.

Thought it was dodgy seeing as he has no sales at all. The Hetchins.. identical photo is for sale from a Qld address on ebay
Hetchins
Same bike?
It appears fools are being parted from their money or the dodgy dealer is shill bidding.

Colnago Tandem

Just watch out for the shipping.

Might not be a great tandem by modern standards, really cramped for the stoker, insufficient gear range, insufficient brakes, but what a coffee shop machine.

Cheers,

Cameron

I bought one at a tip shop once and started a thread I think. A nice light frame. Mine had Shimano 600 gears, cheap stronglight cranks and pellessier hubs that weren't that flash. The seat post was really tiny (20mm) with a plastic shim that seemed to work okay. Hard to see from the photo if that ones the same.

repcos out in force in Adelaide:

"Bicycle for 165 - 190cm" "good for a tall person"

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/adelaide ... 1046269463" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Last is maybe an 88 or 89 with double butted tange (probably), but too big for me and I already have a too big superlite...

Normally if someone I knew won a new bike in a raffle I'd encourage them to at least take it for a spin around the block, but... Say What..!?:

A very nicely restored Centurion but at a seriously optimistic asking price.
Europa

Reasonable looking cheap something

Some potential here.

I expect that the "aluminium frame body" mentioned is to hang the panniers on.

Cheers,
