The Flying Gate is magnificent. I've only ever seen a couple on ebay, and they always seem to go for much less than I think they're worth.
-
I think the OP should have taken the £250 it ended at on eBay considering the condition.
hehe - looks like the shill bidder bidded twice - once up to £250- so a danger that they could have ended up with the second chance offer as well :)
-
I must be feeling argumentative, though it looks like this won't sell here anyway.
Personally I wouldn't sell, I've thrown climbing kit away in the past rather than sell it, as I would have felt irresonsible to pass it on. I'm no structural engineer, but does this look safe?
On the repair:
Mercian (ok, pbly not the cheapest, but their costs are easily accessible) repair cost: Replace top tube £85, re track frame £25 (maybe not necessary?), repaint from £100 (basic), postage there and back £30. Total = £240.So this would be a £500+, repaired, non original paint frame. Really?
-
I'm sure it is repairable, i'm not sure though if it is worth, for the OP, to repair it and then sell it...
Also, you can't expect to make profit/not lose money with dented/repaired bikes....that's where I don't get the price.Real shame with bikes like this, no idea if it can be repaired or not (someone said something about thin lugs making this difficult).
Friend of mine had a dinged Rourke. Lovely frame, easy repair to replace the tube and repaint. Didn't do it as it would cost more than the frame is worth - all that work and skill and time that goes into making the frame in the first place, seems amazing to me that they lose so much value, so quickly, that they can't be economically repaired.
I digress... this one is obviously unsafe to sell in it's current condition.

Maybe VB could track it from backups of PMs (I'm probably suggesting something horribly hard for him to do...).
Hope you track it down.

Yes - Be are awesome. Been with them about five years or so now at three addresses - never ever had the internet stop work, or be anything other than fast. Think they got bought by someone rubbish (Orange maybe?), but that hasn't seemed to effect them adversely.
-
Tektro ones at sjs are pretty cheap if you can't find any around here
-
This is how all classifieds threads should proceed from now - nice bike, good price, elegant prose
-
The Roberts Low pro went for a good price - anyone here?
-
Isn't that a way to nick it? they come back later tooled up to remove yuor bike...
-
Aende track frame and forks. Maybe a bit pricey
-
that DA group went for 99 quid. fuck my life.
Altruism does exist after all...
-
And that, folks, is the Prisoner's dilemma.
There will be other groupsets available, and you could all have them for a song, if, and only if, you agreed not to bid against each other.
But the only rational behaviour to follow in Prisoner's Dilemma is to cheat... get bidding everyone...

dibs - pm incoming
-
Yes - call Airnimal and they'll ship you a rim the next day, also a tyre if you're interested in it. Also, I think Tokyo fixed had some NOS araya rims in, not sure if they still have them though
-
I really liked that Dave Yates - seems like an ok price. I imagine the seller is a bit disapointed if it really did have hundreds of watchers as per the listing...
Don't know much about the cranks. Are they PMPs? If so I read somewhere that some team (Polish?) thought they worked and bought a load of them at "near to collectors prices ($500)", so could be a good ebay buy. Anyone here?
-
what's the base soperRiva? Probably not interested, but you never know...
-
Retro Velo - thanks, looks like you're correct, certainly the others I've looked at this morning have the seatpost clamp as you describe.
-
That stem is high-larious!
Yeah, it's a bit nuts isn't it...quite like the rest though :)
-
There's a nice looking Dave Yates on fleabay, complete bike mind and you'll have to check on the size. And it's geared. And you'll have to pick it up. Maybe its a bad idea. Cool cranks though...
-
Has this been posted yet? Columbus Air Aende Lo Pro (if the advert is honest, not sure how to tell...)
-
This sounds like one of those interview questions: "How many petrol pumps are there in North America" sort of thing.
Perhaps you could start at the odds being one in six billion (number of people on the planet), and cut it down from there? Maybe that route will take a (lot) longer time...

I have some green cordouroy plus fours (or twos). They're a bit cheap, but look ok (I ended up with two pairs through an ebay mixup, I'm wearing the other one, so they're not too bad!). I won't be able to post a picture till tomorrow so no worries is that's a bit late for you.
Pickup only in the City around Moorgate tomorrow or Friday lunchtime I'm afraid.
Very very tight 30" (I'm a 30" and can only just fit into them). Ten quid to cover the ebay cost.

To be fair to him, he doesn't actually want to split, so he can charge whatever he wants for the frame.
I know nothing about NJS frames, but that doesn't seem to be out of whack with what you can expect to pay (given it doesn't have a whacking big dent in it).
