Maybe if I offered to sell a kidney....?

Not bad for a steel frame.

 

[BianchiVirgin]

Rather tasty . And she would kill you.

Nice! If I brought that I'd be in the doghouse for months.

Do they do a faster black one?

There's nothing like a fast black - that's a taxi for those outside the sound of Bow bells.

I had a Claud Butler. It had the Olympic logo on the head tube. When the company was sold to Falcon or whoever they were not allowed to use that logo. Curly lugs. The tubes by the drop-outs were as thin as my little finger. Double-butted 531. I used it for commuting, an hour each way. I lost it to thieves. Stole my steel. I have two recumbents now, but that website is making me drool. Proper bike-porn.

Just tell her it was on clearance.

Just tell her it was on clearance.

I'm afraid what would be on clearance would be me.

 

[Gravity Aided]

They can't resist clearance items, why should we?

 

[bladderhead]

Such a bargain. It was a steal.

I'd not seen that website before. There are some real things of beauty on there.
