That looks interesting Munga. I think Lachlan had a similar one up for sale on ebay. Are the wheels 650B or 26"? Are they alloy or steel. Is the steerer a standards 1" or a BMX 1". What is the frame tubing?

Sorry about the multiple questions. :roll:

Aee. That's a bad one.

I'm re posting this ^ because I feel like it got buried .

Leongatha Cycling club track shed clearout

Hillman, Trevorrow, Petrus, Another 531 frame, plus the others and a few nice looking wheels. They're dirty and hard to gauge condition, but it's not a bad deal for $400.

Went for $77.00.

I put a couple of bids in, but had pulled out before then.
I don't care if it's a $20 Huffy or a $20k Colnago, as long as you're riding, and you're happy.

I always crank fleabay bids in multiples of 11. But it wasn't me. :angel:

This Infinity-tubed one is too big for me; just as well. Sydney/west. Interesting paint; would grow on you quickly I reckon; a real stand-out.
And this LeMond Toumalet has been pedaled horizontally on its right side at some point. At least seller is up-front about it, with good pics.
A Woolys Wheels been pulled off a garage wall, by the looks. Light use, but heavy tubing. :| Arabesque, pre-slant parallelogram. Being Woolys-> Sydney; good chance eastern subs.

the lemond looks to have a cracked fork dropout. i'd enquire before bidding to confirm, anyway.
