Retrospok?

yeah it does, But i am not an arrospok expert.
It also looks lighter than an arrospok would be.

i wanna get it anyway

watch out, that guy who's top bidder is loaded.

why, because he bids on loads of stuff?

retrospok lol

Yeah, If its who I think it is.... I've lost to him on almost every auction I've actually wanted.

o***o (809)?

yeah that guy, but its is just a guess (cos it is obviously a shortening of a longer username).
there's also a guy called c***c who I lose to alot.
which is annoying, but then also saves me a lot of money.

can anyone tell me what they think of this? i bargained him down to £50 (skillz). looks like a raleigh, don't know anything about it

26" wheels !??

ye, is that 700c?

No ! 26" is MTB size.

oh. fuk that, tht's fiddy dorra he's never getting

Thats mental..... i want it, anyone lend me a about 600 squid? i'm a few pennies short....

It's a bit weird ? 700c is standard on a road bike and that's no MTB ? The rims look too thin to be MTB ??

Maybe he has just got it wrong ? Maybe they are 650c ?

maybe he meant 27? just a thought...

nah, not necessarily, just worked on a raleigh milk race with 26" wheels.
Weird as , and well irritating.

pedal strike would be a problem, would it? i dunno

ooer.... weird, love those old milk races'. i think my bro had one years ago... i had a banana team racer when i was about 8 or 9... i was soooooo happy it was unbelievable, i can still remember the day i went to pick it up.... heaven :)

is it for kids?

i can give u a few pennies
it looks like a pinarello front with a bridgestone rear triangle

Bobob,
If you want you can have this one for free (or whatever the replacement tyre/ tube/ greasing costs at fixing time).

^ pj's bike

( and you can tell by the description, full of pj-ness:
in the picture i have fitted 27" wheels, it can be ridden with 700s but you will need a longer reach brake. if you use a brake. maybe you don't and your life is boring so you like to dice with death and think brakes are a needless affectation anyway, designed for other people who don't live in london, in which case it won't concern you and you probably won't be around long enough to really enjoy this piece of artisan cycling craftmanship.)

I heart pj.

I'd love the sturmey hub but no way can I ££ until I can work properly, 'sides which you've got to really fetishise the idea to spend what that will end up going for.

Anyone want any PowerGrips, then these are going cheap:

Heh, I won those PowerGrips.. they're shockingly colourful.

Making me rethink my current build-in-progress. I was all up for classy subtlety on this one.

Now I'm thinking Purple and Yellow slavery FTW.. It's a curvy lo-pro, so I could really go to town. I've always liked that colour combination.

Is designing an entire build around some toestraps a bit OTT?

not if its purple

love the chrome-love this seller to loads of good stuff

nope, it's normal* behaviour. I built a 753 road bike in the 80's around some cool pink (yeah, I know) handlebar tape I found....
