It's got a certain appeal, being an Olmo an all. And it's a looker, too.

Fair enough, I'm no expert, don't want to soil your pitch, and I like the bike. But the paucity of interest does suggest the price is a little on the high side. That said, it does look like it's in good condition, as you said.

I like it, but what with the Cromor tubing and the CAMPAGNOLO VICTORY group-set (fairly low-end, no?) it might be a little over priced?

Possibly... but it's in good nick, considering its age.

Well spotted by the way - the Aelle decal.

How has this not gone yet?

Actually, for much of it, it's hard to go at anything other than 20 mph +, no?

Actually, from a cycling point of view, the 'Möbius Strip' grows old pretty quickly.

It doesn't matter - he technically didn't bump it the first time around (even if the result was that he effectively did). But yeah...

Strictly speaking he didn't bump it again; he announced his intention to reduce the price by using the infinitive verb form, to put - as in "I'm going to put the asking price down" in the future. He then did so in his next post.

It's 1980s - *not 1980's*, unless the bike was built in 1980 and you're trying to suggest that that year owns the bike.

Ah you should, its great, and much of it is completely isolated. One may as well complain about people walking dogs or the presence of deer, so innocuous is it all. In fact, the only people with genuine cause to complain about the cyclists are other cyclists (indicate when you're turning into that cafe near Roaehampton Gate, for Christ's sake).

It's weird, because if you're walking around Richmond Park generally, you're not going to notice how much traffic there is on the road - the place is pretty big and the speedy cyclists perceived to be the problem are only interested in doing laps, so they stick to the Park's main road. So aside from the moment your average pedestrian wishes to cross the road into the park's interior, how is the amount of traffic even an issue?

I used to have a bit of time for that Tom Hodgkinson guy, but time has suggested him to be an over-privileged fool, whose woes revolve around the tribulations inherent in finding the perfect enclave in which to live out his Idler fantasy.

But let's leave his face out of it, shall we? One's face is one's face, and there's not very much one can do about that.

Nice colour.

What's that wrapped around the drive side chain-stay?

Yeah, Montmatre isn't all that. Somewhere around the Latin Quarter, Val-de-Grace or Montparnasse perhaps? I don't think the French focus in on specific areas or districts like Londoners do.

Wellda nice!

It's been said - "Seriously, ditch the foffa." - but it is as yet unclear whether this advice will be acted upon.

Oh dear...

Is this some sort of wind-up? Surely it is... ?

Strictly speaking, that's an effective 55 cm, don't you think?

I quite like those Cooper bikes...

What's your mate riding now?

You felt you had to buy something? It just gets worse...

Some people have more money than sense - it's makes me sick.

Boring, no - I would have loved to see pictures; Singapore is a strange but wonderful place.

I concur - a fair price for something along these lines, and a nice looking bike to boot. Exactly the same size as what I've already got, I'd need to go a little bit bigger if I'm going to bother with trading in my present ride for another (which I'm not fully committed to anyway).

By the way, Anidel, I saw you out on your Holdsworth on Saturday - nice bike!

That's being relative - not to say, pedantic.
