I'm new to all this, is £55 for a Colagno seatpost binder bolt expensive?

I think that when all this is over and those that still have jobs are skint, there is going to be a massive realignment of prices of shizzle like this. The days where average folk could spend obscene dollar for fripperies without a thought for the future will be gone for many, many years.

And you can have the matching bike for £750. You'll have to buy your own crankset and chain though.

I've got some of that Fizik tape - it was very expensive but proved very very durable!

I was going to say that doesn't sound silly money - presumably it'd cost another grand or two for a new one - but on looking closer it does seem to be in a bit of a state.

The frame silhouette is very reminiscent of a Trek Mountain Track, a decent enough machine from the mid 90's.
I picked a somewhat neglected pair of them up as parts donors about two years ago. Mine were a much more pocket-friendly £7 each though! There's a lot of silliness going on ATM with used bike pricing, and I'm not playing that game.

And there's no point in paying a premium for a bespoke bike if it's been built to fit somebody else.

Is the seller also saying---- TRY cycling?
