£725 with a shoddy respray? Are you fucking kidding?

Not that it would be worth that with original paint.

Nice one. Needed to get away! It needs work.

this is nice!
unfortunately a little large for me

Do you have a crystal ball to see what this looks like then?

Well it's harder at the other end of the scale. I'm 6' 2" ish, with abnormally long legs. It's really difficult to find frames for tall long legged people because we're a minority. AND THE BACK PROBLEMS our underevolved-for-the-times skeletons give almost a lot of us tall people. Count yourself lucky. I'd love you have this relative plethora of frames available, and a lack of back problems.

I hear your pain. 6'4" and I've been riding a 56cm with long seat post and neck because I couldn't find anything I wanted at time. Finally just bought a 61cm but that's too small too really. Can't face a 65cm freak bike though.

Bolted in bottom bracket... weird!

One of the reasons I love it. It's what a gas pipe bikes should look like!

Well, those are "front froks", I'm sure you'll need forks for your Rossin.

Still went for £60! I was hoping a frok might be cheaper. Nope.

So who bought these for me? They are going to look so good on the Rossin frame I just bought. Thanks!


Early 1940s aluminium alloy frame!

I love it!

But you should see the other stuff this seller's got in his shed:

Jesus. That collection is quite ridiculous. I cry.

I would not consider bidding on this (other than the fact it's an ugly build.)


117 watchers and 24 bids and it's still got over 6 days to go!

PS. Thanks for ruining my productivity! I'm supposed to be finishing a job application.

Actually I already use Goofbay and it's cleaner. http://www.goofbay.com/ The use their "eBay Most Popular" tool.

Nice.

Thank you!

Everyday is a school day. Did not know there was ways to find out how many watchers an item has. Your push and some google shows there is.

One such way:

Thanks for spoiling it.

Don't believe you were the only one!

Sure it's crashed ?
Not a transition between round end of down tube and flattened section, coincidently conbined with paint damage?
Worth a question to the seller.

Seconded. That frame looks amazing. Shame it's in mini form.

The guy sounds difficult and the current build looks shite but it is a hetchins and pick up only so price should be reasonable for a , erm, hetchins...

That is an abused Hetchins. Do we need to call Childline or something?

I'm on it!

Thanks.

No it's 1984 eBay is the state and it says you are allowed 200 items and you'll like it or lump it.

Their views on TV delays are unknown.

I thought you were asking £115 for the bike earlier. Almost choked on my coffee.

Guess you're using it on a mobile?

Empty your watchlist. You have too many.

If you have the Canon in a couple of weeks then I'll take it.

Well I sure would like to bump into them.

I'd like to have this. Partly because it's beautiful and my size but mainly to rid the poor sod of the punishment that is those pedals and saddle.

First link didn't work, still doesn't. Second one does.

Don't know much about the hubs but the rims are good, I ride them myself. Seems like a good price but that depends on the hubs. Do some searching on the forum. Someone must have tried them.
