A couple of Italians and a Japanese here; the hirame is just hi-ten steel but someone must've loved it cos it's got some nice bits on it. I like the cornelo what's the betting the owner has a high reserve?

Hirames were normally sold as framesets only , and they do ride very nice indeed

I love the d'inscription of the Brooks Vitesse as a "relatively new replacement saddle"

I am so pleased I live in Denmark. If I lived in the UK I would have a warehouse full of bikes, looking at some of these bikes on here.

Anyone looking for old 20" dynamo hub / 20" 3-speed wheels and other bits? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bicycle-wheels-and-accessories-/222482164359

That looks bigger than a 20" wheel to me the advert is confusing,do you think its a 40 hole wheel pictured with 20 spokes per side ?

The other pictures seem to have 16 spoke holes at the side shown.

every Dane I've ever seen on holiday has had a bike that looked like this:

comfy but a bit dull (that's the bikes not the Danes)

You should come and sit in my garden. We get everything passing by.

That Mercier is lovely - can't believe the seller hasn't used the magic word "Eroica"! I also really like the postage cost of £20 from Glasgow - well played by the seller, realising that people factor in the postage costs when buying so are perhaps more likely to bid higher.

Get this Terry Dolan Cougar quick, there's only 2hrs to go, currently at £123

Winning bid: £171.00
For that price, that's a nice bike.
