That's a whole lot of drive side photos.

Gee that is nice. That is very nice. ...
There's no way I'd get it to Melbourne though. I think I'll move to Sydney for a whils just for the old bikes that pop up on eBay, everyone seems to have a high end racer parked in the shed. All I ever see in Melbourne is literally thousands of Hillman's and a few Repco Travellers.

Whats it supposed to be? It looks huge though, prob 65cm +.

No idea what it is, but looks like it's running singles on quality high flange hubs, brooks professional, record seatpost (or zeus copy ), stronglight cranks, 1st generation dura ace bar end shifters and probably black Dura Ace brakes & headset, and I reckon it might be suntour superbe FD with the clamp pivot as it is. Size, maybe more 60-62cm. Downside it it's been left out in the weather for a while.

Nah, more like 62/63 I'd bet. Big, no doubt. Will be watching.

Lugged steel Giant in Narnagba (its where you get to once you go through the wardrobe in Narangba) - probably a touch overpriced to start with but I'd pay $90 for it...

A bit of Variety

The price of seized components/rust is up
Peugeot Ventoux (PH501) Reyonlds 501
It says Victory Tria

The description for this one needs to be edited a little, apparently the "button tube has been welded. It is rare to find a bike of this vintage". Should read, "It is rare to find a bike of this vintage with a down tube that has snapped and then been stick welded back together" .

Had one a couple of years back when I decided to get back on (retro) roads. Nice enough bike, (CroMoly, but not butted, AFAIK). Pleasant ride, unicrown fork. But yeah, $90 would be the limit.

Also, anyone know whether this Centurion LeMans is the earlier Hi Tensile tubed one or the later Tange-tubed. Can't see a sticker. Shall ask seller, but may not get the answer I want.

Had one of those pass through my shed a year or two ago, not too bad, wasn't my size though.

Man that's nice.

I like how all the old Pommie frames come in real sizes. Most of the Australian stuff is usually made for midgets. i.e. 22"

It's hard to find a 24" frame here. Especially if you want to ride it and have the right aesthetics and not ride with bandy legs.

A fistfull of post is were it's at.

Nice Cadex which Id prob get, if I could get a Newcastle member to pick up and keep at their place before I can make it up.

Judging by the top tube sticker I would say struck by lightning.
