Hell yeah

Thanks! All I wanted to know was if I'd be able to contact him via DMs and now I do.

@frankenbike I was referring to the comment counter and you basically figured it out. Thanks for the insight.

True, I hadn't though of that. That's a possible explanation and he could have only posted publicly on the forum once and sent the rest of the almost 200 posts as DMs.

@Velocio is that the case here?

Ok

I'm trying to contact a member on here who was active for a few years, as far as I can tell, using one of those automatically generated usernames i.e. 'userXXXX'.

When I visit his profile page, by clicking on 'userXXXX', I see that he was last active in April 2020 and has a three digit post count. However when clicking on the number of his posts in order to see his last one, only 1 post shows up and that one was from a few years back. Odd.

Does this mean that he's changed his handle?
If so, will he receive PM's sent to 'userXXXX' despite having a new username?
@hippy @Velocio

Pretty sweet, especially if you're a Cipollini fan. It's on ebay atm and the sellers' gotta be a massive Cannondale fan.

This 1997 CAD3 may look pretty familiar, Why? Well this is the EXACT replica of the Saeco Team bike used in the 1997 TdF for 4 days whilst wearing the Yellow Jersey.
Stage 2 - 7th July 1997
Stage 3 - 8th July 1997
Stage 4 - 9th July 1997
Stage 5 - 10th July 1997
The original Team ridden bike’s whereabouts we do not know, Private collection? Museum? Repainted for another race? Who knows?
These 4 stages changed the future of what we see as normal nowadays, the sight of a rider wearing shorts to match the Grand Tour leader’s jersey is a pretty standard affair. Cipollini, though, was a pioneer in this regard. Cannondale, the clothing manufacture for the Saeco team, was the first brand to kit out a rider in a head-to-toe colour-coordinated kit.
Sure, they may just have only been different coloured shorts but wow did they generate publicity. The fact that Cannondale also matched the bike to the jersey didn’t go unnoticed either. He was fined for wearing an all-yellow outfit while leading the Tour de France; and now this practice to wear more yellow and even have a yellow bike has since become generally accepted.
These antics violated UCI regulations, which resulted in Cipollini and his team being fined a few thousand Swiss francs.

Yeah I know, I contacted the seller a few days ago. They're not willing to sell the forks either which is a shame but we all like looking at pics so...

@konastab01 you don't need another hole in the head? Strange. Joking aside, don't believe what they say, just one more bike never hurt anyone.

For sale in Japan

This is the sleek solution

Rad bike as always but kinda disappointed that you stopped propping up your bikes with your trademark stick.

Size?

I assume you're referring to post #5105 (and the following discussion) that starts off with ''Got some spare time (read I'm bored) so here's a history lesson, ripped off SuperCo & mtbr.'', right?

It’s fascinating someone saw fit to edit my own writing in an attempt to remove me from my own history.

Who edited your post?

Your ducklings aren’t ugly. There I said it.

Turned out nice, great job

Superb! I know you wanna paint it but it looks so damn good as it is right now.
Just out of curiosity, what size is it and how long is the wheel base?
Get at me if you want to pass it on at some point.

No worries. I found this online:

''Have not been able to find a great deal of information on Oria, apart from the tubes were drawn by Mannesman. Oria was based in Verona, it was good quality and sold to local framebuilders. Primarily used on Italian bicycles, by manufacturers like Pinarello, Benotto, Moser, Montagner, Daccordi, Olmo, amongst others.''

Yeah, I was referring to the bb not the frame manufacturer.

It’s a Cinelli, haven’t measured the shell or done anything else to the bike for that matter. This is what showed up on my doorstep.

Edit: the fork is stamped with ZEUS 2000. Just throwing this out there in case it gives any further insight.

Thanks for your reply but it's definitely Oria GM 0.0. There is some of the original tubing decal left and it matches up with GM 0.0. It also fit's with the description of the tubing I've found online with 4 alternating longitudinal ribs.
Also I don't think it is a Gazelle either, as the seller believes it's a Diamant and is trying to find a pic of a similar one he's previously seen on the net. I've never seen another example of a CX frame like this before.
Here's an awful pic for reference. If you or anyone else could identify it I'd be obliged.

Gotcha! I misinterpreted your ''stop, please'' comment as a direct contradiction to the one you made yesterday about basically the same bike, well that is for someone that's color-blind and needs a visit to specsavers. Not that you are either of those. I like the builds too and they're just random finds on the net.

What gives J? And how’s that relevant?

You might like his next bike as well

Afraid not, no details beside the fact that it was built up for Grinduro in 2016.
