The "How much?" or "You're havin' a giraffe!" thread

I’ve picked up better bikes for £50

£1200 for a 1980's tandem. It's a bargain now that it's been reduced from £3,000.

A mate of mine with a bit of spare cash, ahem, has just bought a Zesto phono preamp for £7500. So that's just to connect a turntable to a normal amp. He said its quite a bit cheaper than the two other amps he has in the system .... he's 'avin a giraffe.

Probably as its so heavy! 7 grand its its nearly a kilo heavier than my £1500 road bike (Ghost). Crikey Might as well put paniers on it.

Maybe it's an age thing. I always admire a good 531 or similar frame above the 'chunky' designs of today's offerings - !

There are a couple of "narrow bellows" F-frame Moultons on the Bay of Thieves that are just ordinary ones. Also an F-frame "Moulton Speed" which has absolutely no Speed parts on it (the Speed had a unique stem, bars, saddle, rear bag, pedals and slightly longer front suspension spring and abutment, or at least mine does).
