It is when you're selling it, it isn't when your buying it & it seems that it is whenever you're trying to source parts to fix it.
But then that applies to nearly everything.

I like how seat stays are parallel with the down tube, seat tube parallel with the forks.
Maybe net time.

They got that for a song. Headset and seat post are worth more than the final bid.amrjon wrote:I was keen on this Hillman frame, unfortunately someone else was slightly keener.

the advert is clear: 'only frame and forks. no headset or bb bracket.'They got that for a song. Headset and seat post are worth more than the final bid.

Well yes I guess so. Still wish I'd grabbed it for that money, but fair enough, that's the open market, I could always have bid more.Dow Jones Index wrote:I know the person who won this!

Nice Euro front-left brake setup. Even at double that it'd be a nice buy. Quick paint or PC and clean up the parts, blingy L'Eroica ride.frailer5 wrote:Attention Retro-giants in Sydney. Something noice, unusual, different. 'Bernard Hinault' Simplex RD, no less. Now that would test the rusty DT shifting skills..

You could be in luck amrjon, turns out she won two frames and this has become surplus. PM me if you're keen, I'm sure she'd sell it to you for the price she paid.amrjon wrote:Well yes I guess so.
