For anyone in Sydney who's been to the workshop at the bottom of Clarence St Cyclery, the Geoff Scott Fosters bike that's been hanging there for a while is up for sale. Pretty pricey though.

You missed the subtext "owned by a bike mechanic ... but I stole it from him, along with some other wheels he had laying around" :mrgreen:

Odd eh.

Always a good sign that the frame is not mudguard friendly and there looks to be a few useful bits on it as well. Worth $20 if you live near by.

Was thinking that too, but not sure how I would explain "just off to Cessnock to pick up some bike bits", and its too far to detour on the way home and blame traffic or a late meeting (again) :roll:
