A lot of the reuters photos are a bit meh... but they are obviously being used simply as a means to tell the story. (Compiling the top 93 of the year though I'd have also expected a better set of images - they have more than enough quality to pick from). For example, this one is in the editor's picks today and isn't even in focus:

Some good ones here:

There is obviously space left in the market for more kit designers. After three pages I so far like about 2 of these kits including the one I posted myself. They are all rank.

if this was my size I'd snap this up and buy myself one of these and declare myself a hipster:

Not much use to anyone as it's in the states, but I'm here for a while. Is this not RIDICULOUSLY cheap for a Masi at 150 USD buy it now? I don't know anything about them but thought this would be worth much more.

I like it a lot. I would have been tempted to go with a white or brown saddle to match the bars or hoods, but think the black looks good with these rims. Really like the frame.

Glad it helped. Plus you'll get a lot more credibility admitting you've made a mistake. Comments on here are usually very blunt - but also usually accurate. It serves to stop people excessively overpaying. Don't take it personally.

simply, I don't have money for that

If you don't have the money for that neither does the person who you expect to fork out 250/300 pounds for it. If you had this listed at the right price, you should be able to restore yourself and then sell on and recoup most of that additional cost you've spent.

Plus you're in Poland so selling to a London market means the buyer already has to pay a 40 GBP shipping premium.

Basically it's not good business for the you as the seller, or the buyer. Write this one off as a learning experience and maybe keep it yourself as a side project to work on so you can see what a restore would truly cost. (I'd have no idea myself).

FOFFA.... BLACK FRIDAY SALE...ITS MORE LIKE A FOFFA FIRE SALE LMAO...Dani Foffa has finally realised that hes flooded the market with overpriced average bikes with his gimmicks of mixing bar tape and frame/fork colours and now he cant give his bikes away.And why the black friday discount code,hes had a sale on for weeks...more gimmicks i suppose.

Foffa Ciao, from £500
One of the newest bike brands on the block – and a success story based purely on the bike boom. Vintage-bike nut Dani Foffa started working on old bikes in 2007 from his tiny flat in east London while keeping his day job in the City. A couple of years later he quit and teamed up with trendy photographer Tyson Sadlo to create Foffa bikes. Since then they've launched four models including the Ciao, which is designed to be the optimum commuter bike. It's light, comfortable, durable and compact and, like all the Foffa range, can be customised in any way you want from a range of artist-designed stickers and paint jobs. What better way to stand out from the Lycra loons?

See you create the MYTH/LEGEND and when the FOFFA bike bubble burst...the shit hits the FOFFA black friday/fire sale fan

This bit makes me cringe so much:

What a hero.

What are these tyres?

I love this le coq stuff but having trouble getting hold of it

http://blog.lecoqsportif.com/en/le-coq-sportif-performance-cycling/

Currently listed in the other bike components and parts category... though apparently the item has been used and shows some signs of cosmetic wear.

Save yourself quick and post a better pic. Especially if you're after 450 squids

To be fair they probably thought they were doing you a favour. It's a right pain in the arse getting a missed delivery back from Yodel. Or at least it used to be.

If you're hankering for a bigger discount tell them the local bike shop has made you the same offer so you'd rather help them as you know they'll be making zero profit, and maybe they'll make a counter offer.

But if I were you I wouldn't play them off - i'd go with the local bike store anyway as a good gesture, plus they could probably do with the advertising a bit more.

Sounds like an episode of breaking bad. Great commitment.

also this is currently in the classifieds which looks pretty rare to me...am very tempted..

PS - FLRN HSSL, I can't see the picture you added, but nice bikes on the cluster.

I've got some to add. Moved to Holland this year and I love a Concorde so have recently picked up two. This is the first which I'm going to build up.

Actually would appreciate some help in dating this one. It's very similar to one in the 89 catalogue but not quite so guessing it's just a year or two earlier. It has this Columbus Cromor label:

...which looks very similar to some Columbus Matrix labels I've seen. From what I've read on the interweb due to some issues with Trek also naming their tubing Matrix, Columbus changed theirs to Cromor but I don't know when this was. I assume though from the similarities in the label design between this and the Matrix labels, that this was probably a very early Cromor frame.

Anyway, I'm rambling, but if anyone knows more it would be much appreciated.

Prob not so relevant though on a fixed gear forum!

BRAKES for me. Especially when commuting. When I've got good brakes I ride with a lot more confidence. On my old commuter the brakes were the only thing ever worth stealing.

Okay, well if any turn up i'm happy if you want to use if you don't mind posting them on after; i'm in no rush. There are some on the bay which i will resort to if needs be.
