Ebay and auction watch: let us know if you see something

[booze and cake]

Not that lm looking you understand but l just happened to notice this...good job its too big for me and 100 euros too much money https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Burdet-Mach...421824?hash=item1ca5a95340:g:fOUAAOSwax5Y0tqm

Woah thats the most crazy lever and bar angle I think I've ever seen, you'd impale someone with those levers! Lovely looking frame, and love the forks too.

Specialized Epic Comp road bike, very early carbon bike
23 inch frame.
£135 Chester.

Interesting bike.

How wrong I was to think that all carbon bikes were ugly as this one is a real beauty!!

Yes you were wrong. Not ALL carbon bikes are ugly, just 99.9% of them. The other 0.1% are pleasing to the eye because they mimic the appearance of a steel bike, only using carbon fibre. Good looking bikes have slender frame tubes, irrespective of what material they are made of, and the tubes are of constant or near-constant external diameter - apart from the fork taper.

How could you resist this old Italian folder:

Especially for just thirty notes, in Bristol.

Gone for £72, that was a steal. I've got a Raleigh Royal in the older livery, and it's a lovely ride.

Here we have a typical example of a tastefully understated Italian bicycle name F Moser for some reason https://www.ebay.it/itm/BICI-BICICL...907684?hash=item3d5dc096e4:g:l38AAOSwm7RZm~vE

I spotted that, and if it had been within a hundred miles, not 200, I'd have definitely had a bid. A quality Reynolds 531 drop bar tourer would top off my little collection, and the Raleigh Royal or Dawes Galaxy are both equally nice bikes, IMHO.

Seems to be a very unusual feature. Was there any good reason for the curved stays such as ride quality "feel", or was it just a marketing ploy to differentiate their frames from everyone else's?

 

[Cycleops]

More of the latter I think.
