Nice 'ole Focus for a commuter or light tourer
Ricardo
This must've been ridden by someone with shaped like a kangaroo!
Nishiki for an off road touring conversion

[LugNut]

Peter Bundy Road bike in Cairns, nice Rolls saddle and Campy Daytona.
Nichols Road Bike in NSW, I've never heard of Nichols but the Superbe Pro cranks lend it some weight. Mixed bag of parts otherwise.
$50 Nishiki Cresta in WA, total bargain.

And I'm slightly reluctant to post this, but there's a gorgeous BIG Mercian frame for sale at a great price, considering the $300 worth of goodies included.

I think that's a Repco in SA.

Man if that was a 61cm I would seriously be all over that. Other than the size it ticks a lot of boxes for me.

Nice Pegasus frame, Bris 'burbs, by the looks. 56x56
2 cms. too big for me, otherwise...
Good pics.

This bike was on Gumtree two weeks ago for $600. Apparently the new owner thinks it's ok to copy the original ad word for word as well as doubling the price.

Love this though...

Bought from Italy 3 years ago

.. or brought. I doubt it was a government auction. Urgers and chancers... they're everywhere.

[KGB]

I'm pretty sure they are shimano 600 pedals in the photo next to the "Nichols" bike. In good condition they'd get $40 or 50 by themselves.

Huuuge stem on it as well, looks 140-ish to me.

[QuangVuong]

I saw that Nichols on the first day that it was on Gumtree, but I dont know if I linked that one here. I need a few more sets of those pedals, but they are getting a bit hard and expensive to find.

This is another bike I spotted a couple months ago. Pretty sure it was $150. Now $400 for the frame and fork only. And it even looks to be reused pics too.

"Klein Stage Comp R

It is collector's item"

*was* a collector's item until the fool stripped all the bits off it...

[ldrcycles]

"Lot of mountain bike frames", the Reid is actually a road frame, and at $30 i'd be happy to get rid of the other junk to get the Reid.

From the same seller, a bunch of "racer frames". Mostly junk but there's a Hillman which could be interesting, are those Mafac brake levers?

And to raise the tone a bit, a very nice 531 Gitane. Cool dropouts.

EDIT: another one from the "bulk lots" guy, 2 of these things are not like the others. Could be very interesting.

Interesting fork rake on the Repco.

[ldrcycles]

It wants to be a Hetchins when it grows up .

[singlespeedscott]

Maybe more like a Bates with a Diadrant fork

1x10 on kids BSOs now

Watching the local gumtree can be fun. There is a local seller who sells quite a few bikes, all sorts of usually MTBs. How do you tell if they are a flipper or worth reporting to the police? This person usually has three or four listed at once and the turnover seems quite high.

For reals or just troll? If he is serious, how on earth did he arrive at the magic $1400 figure?

[bychosis]

Isn't it obvious? If he had said a random, but round number like 1000 or 2000 you would know it was a 'guess'. As he has picked a quite specific number he obviously knows the truth. Ba even better if he had said $1399 because everyone knows all bicycles prices end in $99.
