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

Well it is cheap, and maybe a good buy - includes a pump.

Honest seller:

"Must be worth trying to assemble but can’t guarantee everything is here or working. Only £20".

Intrigued as to how the seller ended up with all this - must have taken a bit of taking apart.

Found it in the garage of a place they'd just bought/started renting would be my guess.

quite possibly true - one of my most used bikes, does shopping trips, day rides, plus long loaded rides, cost me £21 (ok - plus some quality bits added) - bought it off a guy who rented properties - it had been left behind by an old tenant. He just wanted shut of it.

yes I tbought it looked likely - it doesn't fit too well in this thread. Though it is an oddity.

Yes I know it's coming from Japan (supposedly) with free postage, but even so.

Myself and Madame Fondo had a shufty around the Amandari resort on Bali a couple of months before covid hit, lovely, but a villa for a week this christmas is a few quid shy of £30k .... thats 'avin a giraffe all day long.

Raleigh "Team Banana" (the cheapo gaspipe one), £325 on Farcebook Muppetplace

Maybe all that additional yellow makes it worth the extra £200-odd over all the others

Sold my retromod banana for £120 a couple of years ago

Not actually overpriced, as it sold instantly...but you could buy a complete Moulton Speed to go under it for far less!

£400 for two 'vintage' bikes

The green one looks like it's worth about £40. The yellow one looks like a BT Pashley thought it's probably beyond economic repair.

 

[biggs682]

Not a classic by any means and i don't think it's a Bianchi either
