Nice. Big project though.

That photo is so perfect. Looks like a commercial advert. "Stuck in the kitchen all the time? Mid life crisis? Buy this crabon, just to look at like, and feel fulfilled. Chain not included."
Built in "selling due to baby (Definitely not because I've never ridden it)" excuse too.

^ It's not £50 - he's fishing for offers.
Someone on here picked it up a few weeks ago.

Has this gone? Definitely take this if you still have it.

Swiss Made by Allegro. Not so bad.
Oh you're right, I discounted it too quickly. It's still their cheap model, not the pro version. I dug into this a lot a while back. I seem to remember that the Allegro was considered a bit better than the Kessel which was a shade better then the Falcons. But all still gas pipe bikes. But it was a while back and info on Allegros was hard to find.
The Allegro pro version with super record and campag ends is quality though.

Quick only 40 pairs made!

Gas Pipe bike. Just a slightly better european non-falcon one built by Kessel me thinks.
Avoid.

Suddenly there are loads of big Merckx's! A few years ago I couldn't get one for love or money.

i guess it did tick a fair few boxes
Damn! I was so close. I thought I had it only outbid by £2,501. One of those "shit I wished I'd just bid that little bit more" moments.

Check out the Biopace too. Delicious. Sorry I mean ridiculous.

Guys I'm really sorry I didn't make it I'm sorry I didn't have a number to call you to let you know.
It was for a beautifully ironic reason. As I was coming through Bermondsey two twats cut each other up and slammed on their brakes. I had it covered until one of the idiot passengers jumped out of the car and I slammed into the door. I broke two spokes on my front wheel and bent a spoke on the wheel I had strapped to my back, the one I was going to use for the wheel building lesson!
It would be funnier if it didn't hurt so much. I scrubbed off most of my speed (thank god for dual pivot) but still was a heavy impact. Do keep my record of never having fallen off my bike. Don't keep my no accident record.
I'm a very friendly non-violent sort but I went absolutely mental. When you've got a 6'4" cyclist with a wheel strapped to his back going ape shit at you it wasn't that surprising that he agreed to reimburse me for the damage. So at least I got £30 in my pocket. Still wish it hadn't happened though.

See you guys later!

Nah £49.20 and a Kit Kat.
It's a bargain. It will make someone happy. Sure it's not the best frame in the world but that's to be expected. Or you could get some real value:
So much better.

And the paint is not even perfect. He's taking the piss asking for all that money. Grumble.

Coming............

Wait for it...........

Damn this thread reminds me of a pic I saw recently.

funfun
Wouldn't think much if this was a modern bike but I love all these vintage experiments.
-
^^^ i would so be on this if it wasn't pick up only in Chester. LAMEFEST.
-
I bet that absolutely flies.
I contacted the seller and he assures me it does not fulfil even the rudimentary requirements for flight.
