He has a habit of asking high prices then they plummet like a stone so keep an eye on it

For easy restoration it says, yeah right. Pass me the nitromors.

Reminds me of the scene in "Raining Stones" by Ken Loach when they nick the turf from the bowls club lawn

Easy restoration? If its that easy then why doesn't he do it and rake in the profit?

For heavens sake what would make anyone go to all the trouble of spraying a whole bike yellow ? Forget it and have this one !! http://www.ebay.fr/itm/ancien-velo-...687500?hash=item51f5b5dd0c:g:kdcAAOSw32lYpcdt

@woodbutcher we don't want to buy the bikes, just insult the seller and feel superior for a brief moment

 

[woodbutcher]

Thats the spirit, lets hope the seller is thoroughly chastened ( l sort of assumed that yellow bike man was trying to give it away)

I've got a distinct feeling that he's not going to get the full amount !!

Lol its all about a laugh at silly adverts etc, just hope no one on here has advertised any of them or worse made an offer.

I really like this bike but - how much?
Please feel free to shoot me down in flames if I'm out of line here (and I hope I'm not dissing someone on this forum ) but I have an issue with this baby and I'm not just talking about the price!
If they really had to repaint the frame, couldn't they have stretched to a proper paint job? The powdercoating looks nice but not a grand nice, and I'm not sure why he has stickered it as a Record when it wasn't like that originally

Otherwise - all good!

Well, no takers but seller's determined - back on for the same price!

Meanwhile, in another corner of the ebayverse: here's the real deal!
And even he hasn't got any takers as yet
