Sprung headset or stem so the steering is automatically centered!!

Sound like the frame is scrap, not just the fork. £80 seems... hopeful.

Either we've had something like this before or the same frame is being re-advertised.

I was admiring the TT bikes on today's TT stage. In particular the clip on TT bars, with aero support for the forearms. Thought, I'd like some of those, had a look on Wiggle. Something very similar for only £629.99

How many pairs should I buy?

Is this Mercian really worth £999?

"The stem or headset is sprung so the steering is automatically centred"

Yeah right, nothing to do with all the distortion caused by the hard impact then! I'm surprised how well the down tube has stood up to the crash. Must be pretty heavy gauge gas pipe tubing then. A butted frame would have a nice bulge in the DT a couple of inches back from the head tube junction after a heavy crash like that.

It would have already been fully priced at £300. He's just taking the piss. Hopefully the market will punish him for trying it on and he'll be stuck with bikes he can't sell for any profit.

Fancy a Peugeot step-thru? Yours for £8,900!

That is insane! Must be a typo surely.

Yes - he's now reduced it to £89. It's still a bit steep for a step-thru frame.

Still must be typo, 89p seem more realistic?

£300 for a Hercules commuter without a chain. It's been fully refurbished though!

That's about as much in real terms as it would have cost brand new. The £980 Raleigh 3-speed that is really a £50 project/hack in North London is still up. The seller was very generously offering watchers a bargain £775 reduced deal on it recently!

A cracking looking 1950's Holdsworth Typhoon, but what a price.
