Just remember the mantra - it's worth "$50-$150"

Take a few photos if you do spot anything interesting, for the interstate intrigued.
My dad's partner has a family property near Castlemaine with a few barns apparently 'full of bikes'. I think I'd prefer to hold onto the dream of what might be in there rather than go and have a look.

Hope:


Reality:

2 bikes in Kallangur one is a largish-looking shogun, possibly selectra.. going cheap (at the moment)

Hahaha, just imagine! And personally I think I'd rather hold onto it!

Apollo Caves Beach

Apollo Central Coast

When I looked at the Cavwes Beach link here, gumtree suggested looking at the other, so I did. Look to me to be the same bike from two different locations (but the same fence) and two quite different prices. WT?

Maybe the vendor knows that a photo of the non drive side won't command the same interest and thus it was priced accordingly.

i'm more interested in his whippersnappers for sale.

I already have 6 apollos, otherwise Id be over this like a rash..

I wonder if this started life as a Europa?

Gosford way - and might have a few decent parts on it.

On Watch, and do-able from here (live at the start of the F3 freeway). Looks interesting, for sure.

Is that DA Ax(7200) cranks and pedals? Not bad if its full DA.

Ricardo tri. Melbourne 'burbs. Not bad if it doesn't go much past the starter.

Nah it looks like a mix of parts, Suntour Cyclone cranks, Shimano 600 SIS rear derailleur, can't make out the rest. Looks like a bitsa.

This bike I listed didnt sell,if anyone is in Brisbane and wants it for free let me know in the next couple of days.POsted it here as this thread gets a lot of views http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/321122215575 ... 1562.l2649" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Looks like getting the seatpost out could be a barrel of laughs...

There are ways...

But one would hope that needing to use such ways would have a significant impact on the price one would have to pay for the frame.

I'd be somewhat interested in it for the current price... but there might still be some bids left to come, which would really start to test the value equation... for an unknown frame with stuck seatpost (in about my size...dammit!)

How about this for a cheap CX conversion:

Great set of photos of a set of Colnago stickers. Looks like a cheaper fork crown than you'd expect. No pics of the seat stay tops. Hard to see any pictorial detail of any parts of the groupset, and no text detail given. No pic of bottom bracket underside. Overall notmuch enthusiasmshown by vendor in proving authenticity.

i can confirm that it is a real bicycle.

I can confirm that those are genuine fake Colnago decals from the late 80's.
Sold a bunch of them back in the day to blokes respraying repco travellers etc.

Totally real, all the best Colnagos had SunTour dropouts .

All that aside, it is a really good looking bike, i'd buy it if it was my size and $500 less .
