I would like a nice box of 20 dunkin donuts donut holes to eat while I ride this Pagani. Too bad I'm already too fat.

Revell???
 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

What the heck kind of bike is this? I can't find info on it anywhere. I'm not really looking to buy, it just caught my eye for some reason. Wish I could see the head tube lugs.

It is a Revell, a british marque, can't give you much more info than
that.
I was going to say the brand of models but I have no idea if they are still around.

Raleigh Delivery. IMO a bit expensive, but not if you want it bad enough.

Any thoughts on a Gitane Mantes? Worth exploring for $60?

1978 Mercian in great condition on e-bay now
 

I found this nice bike on e-bay. I corresponded with the vendor and the frame number is 59978, which indicates that it was built in 1978. If you e-mail Mercian, they will be able to look up the serial number and quote the model and also the name of the frame builder.

Be sure to scroll down to see all the pics. I wish I had room to collect bikes. Please tell me one of you gets this bike!

He's misreading a headbadge. It says Gitane Nantes. Nantes is the town where it was made. It's worth exploring. It could be a Tour de France or a Super Corsa.

QUICK!!!!

Should I bid on this Fuji?

HERE IS A FUJI PALISADE VA LITE 414 12 SPEED BYCYCLE.IT HAS NITTO HANDLE BARS,SHIMANO SHIFTERS,SUGINO VP CRANK, AND MKS AR-5 PEDALS.THIS IS A VERY LITE BIKE .THIS IS USED AND SHOWS LITTLE WARE.BUYER MUST PICK UP AT ST.THOMAS,PA.17252 NEAR CHAMBERSBURG.

I asked about size and haven't received a response. It looks like it may possibly be smaller than my size (56-58 cm 22-23 inches)... Does anyone else think it looks about my size? If it were just a little bit closer, I would bid without even being concerned about the size. But, this is a 4 to 5 hour round trip for me (which I might take if the someone can confirm that the size looks about right).

I have seen people here guess pretty closely at bike sizes from pictures... do your best!

looks like a 53/54 to me (thats approx what I ride so
I kind of have a feel for it) headtube looks rather short.
Not bad a current selling price.

heck for less than $50 you can't go wrong.

Yeah, if it was closer, or the price of gas were lower, I wouldn't even hesitate... But, I am not in the position right now to go through that effort if I am not pretty confident it is my size.

Too bad, because it looks like this one might slip by...

Thanks for the second opinion, even if it is not what I wanted to hear. :)

I agree w/ Marty on the size estimate. Looks smaller than 56

I don't think Campagnolo made bikes, but this could be interesting. Two bikes. One a Huffy, one a Campagnolo.

If someone wants me to check on anything about this since it is local, just let me know. If the seller can't take a good pic, or seems lost, I can spend a little time in service to any BFN member that wants me to check it out (assuming we can arrange a face to face with the seller). No finder's fee, your pleasure, if you get it, is enough. :D And pics of the completed project posted here of course.

EDIT: I also would be willing to pick the bikes up and drop them somewhere to be shipped if you locate a shop near by that would do that... (I'll ask my LBS, Around Town Bikes, if they will do it, and if so, a cost. But, any others you can check almost as easily as I can)

EDIT: I decided to bid $30 for the bikes, because if nobody else wants them that bad, I will surely find $30 worth of something on the bikes... Please don't feel bad if you outbid me, I just don't want a bike with Campy ending up in the land fill. I also want you to know that it will cost you more than $30 to win the auction. :)

Very reasonably priced, but very small richard Sachs on ebay 170007988360

For $1600 they should take some better pictures

It's poorly described too... like what campy parts does it have? Sometimes these are the good finds though.. due to the poor descriptions and pictures you get a deal.

This is an unusual component choice, but is just looks so good!

dgregory,

You might just get yourself a "Find of the Day" deal there. With local pickup only and Huffy being the main "attraction" to the auction your $30 or so might stand. The blue bike looks decent but also looks pretty tall. Good luck.



:beer:

It does look too tall for me, but I figured why not gamble that there might be at least one component worth the drive. I am afraid that Campagnolo may attract attention, but the fact that Campagnolo has different levels makes me hopeful that nobody will consider it worth asking a question. I am avoiding asking anything to keep it off the radar... I would hate to lose it if I was the only one to ask, and find out it is a sought after gruppo.

If nothing else, if I win I hope to have something interesting in the For Tade thread. :D
