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

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.LG wrote: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.

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).find_bruce wrote:I hope this speedwell special sports goes to a good home

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....diggerdantheman wrote:Less the mirage group I just bought from you if that vetta was a tad smaller I'd be all over it...brettels wrote: Have a number of other things listed on <a class="vglnk" title="Link added by VigLink" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ebay.com/"><span>ebay</span></a>....colnago frame (another unfinshed project) and other bits......
Frame is a tad too big for me to be comfortable.......another reason it has to go......

"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.LG wrote:At least 3 to many zeros on the end of this one http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Porshe-vinta ... 27cbbebd6f" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
As for "would look great in a glass display case", i just...i....i don't know.
