Isn't black electrical tape over ripped-up sponge rubber tubing the period correct bar covering for these beauties?ldrcycles wrote:Yea. $400 to restore and that didn't stretch to any kind of bar tape? .

He he, I know what you mean, I offered a couple 10 speeds for free last year and there were no takers. Perhaps if I cleaned them up and added a $200 price tag I'd clear some space....

Repco Tri A
I had one of these and it was a nice bike but it does seem overpriced. Mind you it means my collection might be worth more if it sells.

Perhaps just misinformed of things value but it smells of Ebay sillyness, there appears to be no solid connection to Major Taylor, its probably NOT the only one in existance, nor the most important, I cant get the pictures to work but from the crappy ones it doesnt look like a race bike. For $25K Id want something more than "reported left behind". The $4000 , yes four thousand dollar Speedwell , I WISH they were worth half that!!!! but whos Norm Gilroy? this guys listings are hopeless...........RobertFrith wrote:I'm rather taken by the horsedrawn fire engine. As you say the other listings are pretty slack and don't reflect well on a seller who's trying to realise $25K+ on a bike. Very much the tip-it-out-of-the-box-and-snap school of listing
Edit ; more detail on the Speedwell added , still cant see any good pickies or more than $150 in value

He she they? currently have 10 separate listings for rare wheels, generic pictures of high wheeler, none of the actual items, cut and paste generic sales pitch. Pretty off putting I reckon. Even if they do get updated later.Torana68 wrote:this guys listings are hopeless...........
