Spotted for sale elsewhere: Vintage / Classic bikes, framesets and components

[biggs682]

Looks a very cheap project in Belfast for £45, pity it was not a smaller frame or i know it would be sold already.https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/classic-vintage-ellis-briggs-racing-road-city-bike-bicycle-/1358082006 Quick update seen on facebook market place for £35 so seller may take a very low offer?

That is cheap

I know l am predictable , yet another Vitus. Its not the bike that interests me as much as the chainring . interesting shape. Does anyone know the maker.

That's a classy looking machine and that crank looks like it's already spinning without actually moving
Ps no idea re make on it at all

Yes as BalkanExpress suggested it is similar to Omega Mundial but l think it looks a bit more exaggerated ?

 

[woodbutcher]

Had another look and checked with the seller description the derailleurs are Sram Rival 2x11 spd. but restricted to 9 spd.
The crank is Stronglight (172.5) and the chainrings are Specialized 53-39 At least that is if my translation from French is up to scratch.
I like pretty much everything about the bike except the price , he is asking €650

Looks a pretty close match to me and what a price, wow! The bike itself is no longer listed so l guess some one thought the asking price was justified especially with those components . Out of my league l'm afraid !!

It certainly is a nice looking bike. Out of my league too though!

lol

 

[woodbutcher]

I'm trying to get enthusiastic about modern shape bikes . Never owned one or even ridden one . Spotted this, seller wants €350 . Not sure if l can take the frame shape seriously though ! It kind of looks as though l would be permanently going up hill .
Am l just an old stick in the mud ?

There must be lots of reasons for making bikes like that, just that looks isn't one of them
