Too big for me. :whew: Bargo is famous for one Mrs. Nellie Hoy, who was supposedly quoted in a radio ad in the early 60s, extolling the virtues of Dr Mckenzie's Menthoids, for rheumatic pain.

What is the situation with re-chroming these days. It's kind of environmentally unsound, right? Does stuff get nickel plated? What other options?

Is it just me or is that fork a little tucked in?
And how did the 653 sticker get on that angle???

Might just be me but the front forks look bent.

[munga]

for $150, i'd take a punt on it being ok. if it is bent, you might get away with a new fork, and the parts alone are worth the asking..

for anyone out there running later CLB brake calipers:

WOW

[familyguy]

There's a couple of odd substitutions on that Gazelle. If it didn't go too high, it'd be a good buy for the frame and some reasonable parts.

I think this is relist number 4 - all at $700... o_O

The paint looks pretty good but the term 'lipstick on a pig' comes to mind...

Ricardo lo pro
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RICARDO-LO-P ... 4abcba5ace

An Avanti supposedly ridden in the Tour Down Under by Matthew Rex. Initially i thought "don't be stupid, even in 2005 a pro wouldn't ride anything less than full carbon", but did some searching and found a pic that shows him on the same frame with Mavic Cosmic wheels. I don't think that makes it worth what they're asking (and i would pay LESS for something if i knew it had been raced seriously), but interesting.

Chater Lea chainset (3/16 by the sound of the ad), twin plate fork crown, and are those timber rims?

Quick, somebody buy it, so I can stop worrying about how I could get it to Sydney.

I'm the same, spent a fair bit of last night wondering how I could get it to Tassie. It appears to be near Ballarat. Any locals to the area want to do me a deal?
