One of the rare Colnagos made of Tange tubing. An example of when "rare" does not equate to "more expensive" as the Tange ones are, in general, less sought after. Someone may get lucky and grab a "bargain"

Poor things , and don't even attempt a simile or a euphemism or you may receive a comment like, "oh you British you are so quaint "It is but just keep quiet and smile, don't even attempt sarcasm , it is way over their heads

And still with over 9 days to go it already past the £100 mark............. Don't these ebayers know how to grab a bargain is to not show your hand until far closer to the end of the listing?

Pulled this one out at random from Le bon coin where there are currently 17,500 plus bikes for sale in France. You really could waste your life away searching this lot .
Anyway asking price is €150 , dunno if that is good bad or indifferent.

Black tyre matches the back and Amber wall matches the front of the frame?

I've noticed that if top quality/exotic kit gets listed with a silly low start price, like 1p or 99p, it really seems to get the punters worked up and the final price often goes well above what it might have achieved with say a £100 start.
I reckon a lot of the bids come from watching punters who are not really interested in buying the item at all, but who merely want to smoke out the "serious" bidders and see how high they are prepared to go.

A small frame Ribble here, no reserve and starting bid of £50 or offer, this bike didn’t sell first time around so an offer on or near £50 might secure it. Seller in Brigg.

It does annoy me when advertisers can't be bothered to give the size of the frame as a measurement!
Well Ive collected the Geoffrey Butler and the gamble seems to have paid off!!!
Campagnolo large flanged hubs front and rear with Mavic rims Campagnolo chain set and crank very light and hopefully should clean up ok.
Seat has been removed
Aluminium, worm is quite prolific on brakes but will replace these as well as the levers.
Original eBay photo for reference.
Cleaned pictures to follow..............!
