I think this seems closer to WW1 vintage than WW2. Looks a rare beastie. Sad too small for me.

Cheap Nitto 66 seatpost
I am surprised this is still up on Gumtree. Any giants here after a nice Hopkins
Reynolds 653 La Vie Claire Look with almost all of a Sante groupset. Someone stuck some RX100 STIs onto it though. Dude wants $600 for it. I'd pay half, but I seriously shouldn't buy any more bikes.
NOS ATP Stem. I think the Adelaide members know who the seller is. It'll be good to see what the stem plug looks like inside, but it is stuck in there.
Tassie McBain? track tandem. Needs a set of seat stays and it'll be good to go. I know almost nothing about tandems. but could it be a DIY job? Both BB shells look like standard shells.

Comes complete with the reduced wheelbase forks for a tighter turning circle, and a curvy front cable routing, so that front and rear brakes have the same amount of cable drag.
Cheers,
Cameron

Very solid looking derailleur protector on that, i wouldn't have thought it would be necessary with a SunTour Honor .

Then noticed it was relisted on ebay for $70 and went for $73.

It's up again on Gumtree, this time for an appreciable $180

Note to mods: the posting has auto linked to any mention of the word ebay even though I clearly haven't. What's up with that?

I suspect it is something to do with E[vil]bay Partner Network.hazarama wrote: Note to mods: the posting has auto linked to any mention of the word ebay even though I clearly haven't. What's up with that?
When the word e[vil]bay is entered, the platform software recognises the word and automatically creates a link to the previously nominated section of the 'popular on-line auction site'.
From any purchases that are made from that event, affiliate fees are paid the the Forum hosts. The same goes with the advertisements to the right of the frame----->
Helps offset the considerable running costs of the Forum, so it keeps it free for us to use.
If the auto recognising and auto linking annoy you then use the common workarounds as I did.
It doesn't work in the forum titles nor in the signatures, just in the forum posts.
not only for e[vil]bay but others though each affiliate program:
ebay
ribble
wiggle
chain reaction

It's also perhaps partially why some of us jaded forumites often substitute our own little 'euphemisms' like Fleabay / E[vil]bay etc. Not because we're sarcastic or cynical or anything
Hit me up via the BNA dm; I'll get an alert. If y'know, you know.

My mate messaged him and asked was $1750 the real price or did he make a mistake.Torana68 wrote:that would be one of the dumbest prices I've seen , bent frame , nineteen fiftees, with nothing going for it...........
His repsonses indicated he didn't have a clue(if any confirmation of that was really required).

Fleabay Sale 1
FleaBay Sale 2
Grumbles aside, I really like the detail in the decals with Bellbird, foliage and sky. Kudos to the re-seller for the half decent photos at least
Interestingly, the frame makers wife was a champion cyclist

I reckon there is a fair chance it is pre WW2 with those fancy lugs and the square shouldered head lugs.find_bruce wrote:About the same number that believe the 1920s - 1930s were only 50 years agouart wrote:Seriously, does anyone believe it's 1920s?

It looked a steal for the original price (I only resisted cos I'm not in Melb).
