*edit* Sorry, sorry I keep finding cool stuff.
Somebody jump on this Centurion Tri Master, it's a fair price. It's hard to see past the bars but there is a really nice bike behind them
Centurion Tri-ohjesusthosebars
Ah, that's nice. Beautifully kept Nishiki
Bridgestone's are quite rare in Aus, and this Bridgestone Spica is actually a fairly nicely specced bike. Google it and you will see people in the states have done some good things with them.
But where is Beechboro?...
1988 Tommasini.

If you're 5 foot 9 get down to McKinnon. This guy has two very interesting bikes for sale:
Touring bike made out of Reynolds 531ST, 'handbuilt wheels' with a nice fork rake. 53cm is too small for anybody I know, otherwise I'd be game.
touring bicycle
Also a Hillman MTB, with the highly collectable Deore XT thumbies, handbuilt wheels and Blackburn racks.

Plenty of nice bikes to be found in Melbourne. To bad nice bikes have been a bit thin on the ground in Brisvegas of late.LugNut wrote:Oh gee, three posts in a row... Gumtree hath delivered today.

Highly collectable you say, I think I might have a pair of those lying around .LugNut wrote: Also a Hillman MTB, with the highly collectable Deore XT thumbies, handbuilt wheels and Blackburn racks.

I know I have a Blackburn rack, are they a good thing? (and what makes a rack good anyway?) I've got an old Australian made tourer frame that i'll probably use it on when I get around to it.

Legendary among retro grouches. $64.75 USD seems to be about the average for used ones, there's a few nicer sets that sold for $90 It's the best that Thumb Shifters ever got before Shimano brought out trigger shifters, which need replacing every 3 years and make lots of money in aftermarket repairs... That's if you subscribe to the great Bicycle Components Conspiracy Theory...ldrcycles wrote:Highly collectable you say, I think I might have a pair of those lying around .LugNut wrote: Also a Hillman MTB, with the highly collectable Deore XT thumbies, handbuilt wheels and Blackburn racks.

You bet I do! That's my thinking behind the big switch away from 27" wheels in the late 80s, I love them just as much as I love thumb shifters on a MTB.LugNut wrote:That's if you subscribe to the great Bicycle Components Conspiracy Theory...

Looks like a lowish end Repco; 90's Superlight type? Brake calipers and levers and RD gives it away..

*edit update* Contacted seller and he withdrew it due to a crack in the frame - what a pity.

Some suggest not much
Others suggest even less
Any Idea of the frame tubing?

Missed it by ->||<- this much.pentlandexile wrote:Any BNA'ers near Richmond VIC who could pick up a frame for me and put it to one side while I work out how to get it back to Brisbane? Karma, return favour sort of setup?
I'm driving through Richmond on my convoluted route to the airport, to fly to Brisbane this arvo.
Already done the online check-in thing with no checked baggage
Next time... give me more than an hours notice and we might be able to work something out

there's plenty of decent de carlo's running around.ldrcycles wrote: It's the mythical half-decent DeCarlo!!! I KNEW there had to be such a thing! Hard to tell from those photos but I don't reckon those are pressed dropouts, in which case i'd guess at some plain gauge Tange?
