What is it? Flash frame, no mudguard lugs, built by Kuwahara, is it a North American model or an Apollo V?

Its not an import nor a "V"....just a well spec'd Apollo nevertheless.

And yes, someone has already approached me, so be aware if you haven't bidded on it & decide to do so, you could very well be bidding against a fellow forum member.
Cheers Wal.

Beautiful bike but has been re-listed a number of times, meaning the owner knows its value (or won't sell it for cheap). No chance of it going cheap.bakabill wrote:This any good?

Might place a sneaky last minute bid if it doesnt get any interest. Not worth too much more imho.

Missed a gold one of these near Forrest Lake two weeks ago for $25. I wonder who got it?

Went extremely cheaply. If I hadn't bought a frame earlier in the day I'd have been on it. I lie - I thought it was going to top out at double that, and wouldn't have even bought in. Someone got the bargain of the month.Dan wrote:BY NO MEANS JUNK. In fact, its the nicest frameset I've seen in a long time.

I'd be pretty <language> if I had a bid on and the auction was pulled, regardless of perceived value or who the seller was. That's the nature of treebay - set a BIN and start price you're happy with, or sell via other means.cray- wrote:Why not set a realistic start price or list as BIN instead of yanking the auction if the bids aren't high enough?Crowz wrote:Beautiful bike but has been re-listed a number of times, meaning the owner knows its value (or won't sell it for cheap).
