23 1/2" frame makes it a touch too big though, thankfully.
Not for me! I've been perusing shipping options, but they cost more than the frame unfortunately.

It may not be a Colnago, but it is a decent frame. Look at the lugs & dropouts.

Edit: Can that. The rust patches look bad enough to be structural. And it's in Anglesea.

without the 'C' was insufficient to ward off the Germans, so Mr Richardson, (who owned a Porsche car) had to rename the bikes be produced, so then Ricardo bikes were born.

PMSL - they've shown the full address of that one, and it's a flat I lived in for a year in 1997 :lol:

Assuming that block hasn't been bulldozed and re-built since then, it's a dump, and the soon-to-be-ex GF is probably not worth missing anyway :mrgreen:

Oh, I dunno.

It'd look nice as a display-piece somewhere, or for the missus or daughter.

But I doubt I'd be riding it much... :shock:
I don't care if it's a $20 Huffy or a $20k Colnago, as long as you're riding, and you're happy.

Oh my,
there is one born any minute....I thought the key point was that you had to have something to start with before spending any coin...obviously people polishing "sdrut" and trying to on sell them is not a dying art!

That's definitely a polished turd.

If they 'want' $500 then they'd also need to have a far far better wheelset on that thing than two of Star's very own wheel shaped objects.

I'm not seeing the polish. Still at least he took it all the way from Camperdown to Meadowbank Park - 17km is quite a trip for an inner city hipster. Having gone that far I would have thought the seller could have found a nicer location than the netball courts
