No no, that's just the "bicycle hoist" price. You need to select the bike (black and red) from the drop down select menu. It's $240 ($222 with current "discount").

I think this one is even better - it is a "road" bike and the front brake is on the correct side (forks are not reversed) and the stem points to the back to give a nice short reach.

This is terrifying, these people are making bikes without the faintest idea about how a bike actually works. If the basics are that wrong it doesn't bode well for the complex bits

Did you get it? I noticed that frame too at the time. And congratulations on the Ishiwata, you have an eye for the good stuff.

No, I missed both by a few bucks. But it didn't matter as I was only after a few parts then was going to sell what I didn't need for a minor profit. Nothing like this bloke is though!

It's back up on fBay

Looks like still trying to scam it on fBay
And it's back up on

I'm moving overseas selling up my possessions.
This is an extremely rare 1950s Malvern Star Track Bike . Best ride you will ever get.
I paid $1200 for it but I'm open to all offers.

Now I've seen it all. Nearly $3000 for a "raliegh" and that's just the start of it.

Bargain indeed! I’ve seen that seller before, usually has rare and quality bikes - with prices to match.

There's so much ignorance there it's outright offensive. $3250 for a frame which has clearly had a nasty front end shunt

The market will decide what they are worth. That’s the thing about Ebay, he who has the most cash wins.

We need to cast our gaze further if we are to pick up bargains. This was drawn to my attention yesterday.
Don't limit yourself to the Bicycles filter category, look on Gumtree in the 'Other Antiques, Art & Collectables' and you can pick up
a bargain
Painted pristine white, including crankset and pedals. And only $3000

Except it invites bottom feeders who have no interest what so ever in cycling and who are just in the market to make a buck on "vintage" things. Just add "vintage" and slap on a $3000 price tag.
