eBay prices on the rise, good time to sell old junk?

Pics....yes, 0.47seconds after the pic was taken, the cat bumped it...I still make a good 2nd slip fielder

Those gingers... Are you sure you've got the right cat? (reference to Inside Llewyn Davis)

That's a classy frame. So, CroMo tubes? Onto what material in the lugs? Why bonding vs. brazing?

[xerlex]

and my favourite... wishing it was slightly bigger....
Gefsco Fluro Yellow in the GONG

Are you sure that's a real Gefsco?

This is in no way a Gefsco.

Look at the !! BAN ME NOW FOR SWEARING !! work on the fork ends and the flat top on the seat cluster, they are the quickest ways to tell a low end frame.

Powder coat and decals do no the restoration make.

Excellent questions.

That's a mountainbike. Quite a nice bit of period XT gear but just a but expensive for such an ugly bike

Nice, though why are the IV's always so enormous?

Because not all of us have short shanks Grant

Still asking way to much money for an old Apollo - Max $250 IMO.

When I was a kid I learn't to ride through the frame on one of the bikes stacked at the back of my grandads newspaper shop in Newcastle. Reckon I could ride that IV through the frame now

That apollo was advertised a few months ago..its the Canadian equivalent of a high spec Aust IV. Somehow found its way down under.

Shame it's too big, too pricey, and too far away...

[rangersac]

Instead of a 'new' Giant 27.5, get one of these
Gemini World Randonneur
Curious about this Apollo with the triple butted tubeset.

Just in the interests of disclosure, that's one of mine.

Not a bso ... anymore

Ricardo running bicycle "Has 18 speeds and cones" just the thing for collecting pizza ??

[yugyug]

I see there are quite a few Ricardos on Gumtree - whats the deal with them, are they decent bikes? I read online that they older ones might be built in south australia, new ones elsewhere, but how could you tell?

[yugyug]

...and I just found the Ricardo Appreciation Society thread, where I'm sure I'll find answers to my questions, once I get through all 18 pages...

[YearoftheCat]

I was watching this one;

Peugeot Mixte on eBay

it's an identical match to a mens bike I just bought, but I wasn't expecting it to go quite that high. I doubt the wining bidder was either!
