Nuts. He's hoping the Design Museum'll buy it. Fat chance, and that's a pity because a display cabinet is the only safe place for that death trap.

To be honest I didn't even look at the description. With or without a cracked headtube he's got no chance!

Loads of people put stuff on there with fantasy prices, This guy was hoping for a buy it know of £750 for a broken frame. !! The winning bid seems about right ( If you could get it fixed, I asked him who quoted him for the repair, but he never got back to me )

[i]frame is in great condition all over with no scratches or chips. only down side is there is a small crack[/i]

Glass is almost full. Only downside is it is more than half empty. 🙂

very retro, cracking looking bike.

If i had spare cash i would honestly buy that bike, get the headtube sorted and wheels and have some retro tastic piece of biking fame.

It's a classic. I remember looking at one in Recycle way back but went for a Cannondale V2000 with a carbon swinging arm instead!

Definitely wouldn't be riding it until it was fixed, especially with those wheels 😯

Indeed. Shame they were pretty crap functionally though. Ditto for the Spin wheels which REALLY looked awesome but had rims that tended to bend and weighed a ton!

That is the sort of bike I recall dribbling over bike shops when I bought my first mountain bike, an Orange Clockwork, in '93/4!

No matter how many times people mis-use 'Retro' it will still be old. Old tat in this case.
