I'm just imagining the Australian team racing in the Olympics with a rear rack, they did do some weird stuff in the 80s .cray- wrote: "based on 1988 Australian Olympic Team track bicycle" uh-huh...

Picked it up on Saturday. Different bike so all is well. A full service history from Yellow Jersey and runs oh so perfectly. The only issue is that it uses a weird 28.4mm seat post. I'll need a shim to fit the new 3t postsunho wrote:Rob,
Interesting bike..
I saw the EXACT same one 2 weeks ago, serial : SR9030168
I did some digging and the previous seller bought it for 270, sold it for 337.50... not to the guy selling it now so i am very confused... is there a bicycle double???!!!?!!
curious to know what this one will go at..
Huge fan of booted RGers who just can't help themselves

'80s Europa. Don't know much about these, but looks promising:

Nice,....... one of the few asian mass produced bikes from that era that have nice angles and half decent tubes IMHO. infinitely better than the ubiquitous repco superlite(Giants).

The Hillman I posted earlier is finishing tonight and I'm sitting with my popcorn preparing for the automated deathroll. A flurry earlier today saw it reach $414 but all is quiet now awaiting the final moments. I'm predicting $650 for the win, I'm glad it's too big

The auction finished too late!!
I find that Sunday afternoon finishes are the best buys!

No evident provenance on that one. It's been a 'find' for someone., Dunno, just feel better when someone's had it for a significant period; my hang-up, I admit. And I always bid in multiples of 11. People are habituated in the decimal system. On occasions I've guessed at having pipped people by a few dollars for that reason. Could be all in my head, of course.sunho wrote:$414! $236 dollars off!

Odd bidding amounts have worked quite well for me at times too.

Auction states "Infinity" tubes, photo clearly shows Tange 900, bit of a difference but seems an honest mistake. Half decent is correct, needs a spruce up, wouldn't pay much more than a pineapple.BRLVR.v2 wrote:Nice,....... one of the few asian mass produced bikes from that era that have nice angles and half decent tubes IMHO. infinitely better than the ubiquitous repco superlite(Giants).Rob74 wrote:Apollo III

And here's the bike: http://www.classicfuji.com/ClubFuji_1986_Page.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; You can see it's basically catalogue condition, even the bar tape and straps! I don't know what the 449 refers to, but it's probably 'new price' in '86.

The Classic Fuji website is a great resource.
