Because it is in Europe. A good place to buy cheap bikes from.

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?

These guys are amazing. Doing a depot pickup your end helps, as well. I got a bike from Bundaberg to Sydney; very easy/inexpensive.If you sweet-talked them, the most difficult thing they'd have to do is get a castaway bike box form their LBS.

I've used e-go a few times with no problems but if you google reviews on them there are a lot of unhappy people out there. I would be wary.

[vaeske]

i've no issues with e-go so far. lets see how they do with my golf clubs...

Well I did end up trying to contact the seller to see if they'd be willing to drop it off at a freight depot, but it sold before they got back to me. I can stop worrying now too . I hope it was somebody here who made the purchase and can post pics once they collect it. Looks like a good buy.

Isn't it always the way - the fantastic looking bike in well preserved original condition is never your size - apparently the seat tube measures 55cm and the top tube 60cm

I hope this speedwell special sports goes to a good home

Just so you all know, this bike is in the suburb adjacent to mine if anyone needs me to pick it up for them (providing they buy it and pay me, of course).

NOW THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY REQUIRE A NEW SET OF FORKS AS THEY HAVE GOT A CREASE IN THEM.NOT SURE HOW THEY GOT LIKE THAT AS THATS THE WAY I BOUGHT THE BIKE.WAS INTENDING ON FIXING BUT SELLING INSTEAD

Yeah right, hit a stationary car much??

Its my frame......been sitting in limbo for too long and have now lost interest in it.......

Time to put the funds into something that I will complete and ride.....

Picked up a Cannondale Silk Road frame recently so that will be the new road project......

Have a number of other things listed on ebay....colnago frame (another unfinshed project) and other bits......

Less the mirage group I just bought from you if that vetta was a tad smaller I'd be all over it...

Well done.....purchased the campy group for the Vetta and even had it mounted to the frame...... that's as far as I got with it....

Frame is a tad too big for me to be comfortable.......another reason it has to go......

2 x happy campers - what the interwebz are all about PM me re: pickup? Oh, and let me know if you have an 8 speed cassette floating about...

"In American picker terms, farm or barnyard fresh", um no, in american picker terms "worthless pile of old carp" perhaps. EDIT: perhaps a little harsh, but then asking $1,000 is more than just a little nuts.

As for "would look great in a glass display case", i just...i....i don't know.

[Clydesdale Scot]

well this one starts at $500 and it is anything you want it to be,

seems very rare

unique (I hope)

Only $500 for a one of a kind Reynolds/Columbus hybrid tubed frame!? I can't believe that hasn't been snapped up already!
