That's an early one by the look. And seems quite original. I doubt it's been ridden very far.

Taken! I do hope someone from this forum picked it up

Nice

The Super Elliot on Ebay? $300. Id love to have those hubs. What about those pedals? I have a set, sans the screw on dust cap. Any ideas?

Not me I was wasting time asking what the size was, to their credit the seller replied

Here's an example of optimistic pricing.

You could be in luck amrjon, turns out she won two frames and this has become surplus. PM me if you're keen, I'm sure she'd sell it to you for the price she paid.

Cool, I'm keen, I've sent you a PM.

I bought a bike off this guy yesterday, he charged 65 euros for shipping. cheap as. He has another Dancelli which I'm sure he'll take 205 euro for. That's very cheap. with shipping about $350.00. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dancelli-12- ... 337eb37824 I hope someone is wise enough to to buy.

I bought a Spezzotto off this guy around 18 months ago - very nice bike and a reputable seller.

[jools]

i think the bar might have been attached so one could transport it on a bike rack.

good point - didn't think of that... I would have just folded it..

[bog1953]

Why? Why? What am I missing, that money seems silly. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/370717656440 ... 1438.l2649

Campy on ebay .

Be aware I have watched this guys auctions in the past and he operates under at least 3 ebay names and items seem to be relisted with a strong hint of shill bidding.

It's a Paino!

I've been watching that and was a also a bit suspicious about the bidding history, plus the pickup is at Minno!

LOL you pronounced it correctly , for a local anyway .

I suspect rabih2007 , wozmar11 and brah2012 have a lot in common .Im sure there are some other user names .

I dont mind if someone has many accounts to avoid ebay fee's but bidding on items and giving yourself glowing positive feedback for doing so = scammer .

I work up that way and have received lessons in correct pronunciation Though Minto's not all bad, Hillbrick Cycles are headquartered there!

never seen one before, interesting that it's named spacelander, the race to the moon was on back then.
also the seller says the frame is entirely made of fibreglass........I don't think so, it must be a f/glass cover over a normal steel frame

bicyclemike at bikeforums.net (28/11/2006) says

My Partner John Howland and I bought the rights to the Bowden Spacelander in the 80's from Ben Bowden and have built over 160 of them in the last 19-20 years. The originals were very fragile and did have a marked propensity for breaking on the downtube AND the front fenders.. I know about the fenders because ....well...I have sold lots and lots and lots of fenders to owners of originals to repalce their broken ones. Our continuing production started off being built initially with a very partial internal frame (1988-1990) under the fiberglass bodywork specifically to address the weakness of the Downtube and the bottom bracket area on the originals. Handling was still squirrelly like on the original and then we went to a custom made internal frame (1991-present) that gave the bike significantly more strength and better ride.

Interesting
Cheers


A very nice Cliffs of Dover White 1960 Bowden "Spacelander", white fiberglass,
manufactured by Bomard Industries. Excellent original condition.
At a real auction (not eboy) On the 1 Dec, 2012 for US$12,250

[ldrcycles]

Wow that's really cool. Not $42,000 worth of cool, but very interesting all the same.

Someone was looking for a tandem a while back, how about a triple? this looks ok and reasonable postage too!
