The "How much?" or "You're havin' a giraffe!" thread

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

That SBDU is a time trial special and would have left the factory in lightweight gold or silver paint. Might not get any takers in the road bike livery......

I hadn't realised that

As above


the SBDU Time Trial Special was ridden by Martin Pyne below ..

At the time it usually came with a minimal coat of paint in silver or gold, the one's I came across in the shop as Demo frames had so little paint that you could virtually see the metal underneath. The metal head badge was too heavy so they came with a decal LOL

It's a piece of history alright but would cost too much to put back to how it left the factory.

Searching for "Raleigh" on ebay I found this
I mean WTF? £200?
"Offers accepted" seller says. How about £20? I won't accept any less to take it away for him

This wouldn't be a clever way of laundering money would it?

never mind bikes, I got charged £2 for a tiny crap coffee at the Rapha shop in Spitalfields yesterday, and then they charged 40p extra for a tiny jug of milk.

Makes their clothing seem good value

LOL, daughter took me to Pho a Vietnamese restaurant last time we went down to Bristol. Ordered coffee, asked if I wanted condensed milk in it, I said have you any ordinary milk. No ordinary milk. What none? Not a drop of milk in a restaurant? No sorry. So I had it black.
Waiter arrived with small filter on top of a glass. I mean WTF? It was also horrible, and it gave me a headache!
