Bridgestone RB-1 with Suntour Superbe Pro. eBuy item 7214149251

Moto Grand Record...80s eBuy item number 7214940931.

From the description...."As pictured, this bike weighs about 21 pounds. It is effortless to ride. 20 years ago I was clocked at just over 50mph on a flat street.... without breaking a sweat."

:rolleyes:

Technically, pavement on a hill could be flat couldn't it?
:D

wow. if he was turning a 56x11 he was spinning at 122 rpm. If he was turning a more reasonable 53x13 he was turning 155 rpm. Without breaking a sweat!

There's an addage: The older I get, the faster I went.

I think he forgot to mention the spinnaker sail and the 49MPH tailwind.

I think it was a flat section of road at the bottom of a really nice hill. ;-)

Okay, this is a scam, I think, but the vendor is a good guy. 7215222171 is a very nice masi that sold about a month ago. It has recently been offered, twice, in different one day auctions, by different sellers, in England. Now the same pictures show up as being sold by ssssssspeedster from Italy. This sale has all of the marks of a genuine one, but if you are thinking of bidding check it out well...

And this looks like complete madness. Yeah, it is NOS, but $240 for a nuovo record rear? 7213574072 ...

Jesus! I think you're right luker, 7215217935 has to be a scam. It's the exact same bike, and the seller has a feedback score of only 11. Though they've been a member for over a year... I don't know.

Maybe they actually have the bikes, but no camera? :rolleyes:

Any guess as to what bar tape that is? It looks pretty :D

I like the seat. That is what keeps reminding me (for sure) that the pictures are the same...

:love: 7214339611 — 1972 Schwinn Paramount P-13 :love:

Somebody tell scooper to look at 7215285150...

Dude must be near dead, then.

Ahhh...if only I were shorter...!!!

Viscount carcass, complete with busted fork:


Older, lightweight road bike, shoes, parts - $100

So *that* is the fork of death! I've never seen one before - thanks!

It may be a death fork, but I've always seen them full chrome
and that isn't where they broke.
The real death fork broke where the steerer tube joined the forks (or slightly
above) not high on the threads. That kind of damage that high up makes me
think of some very heavy handed attempts to remove a stuck seatpost.

The death fork looked like this:

You see the obvious problem? the attachment of the steerer tube to the
solid cast fork. . I think the very early cast forks didn't even have the 2
rivets (or whatever those are) and were just press fit together.

7215227333 — Specialized Allez Aero by San Rensho, Complete Dura-Ace AX; 57 cm.

"This the kind of bike you don't want to stop at just shaving your legs -- go whole hog: head, eyebrows, arms. Hell, go naked, with one of those crazy huge aero helmets as your only protection." :lol:

Trek fans - Are you looking for a distinctive and different Trek to set yourself apart on the Sunday vintage ride? Then check out 7213735644, closes Jan-22-06 19:30:00 PST, and is currently at about $72. It is a 1978 TX500 (third year of Trek's existence), and it looks to be mostly original (I am pretty sure that the crank is not original). Can't judge the quality of the bike, but it looks good in those crappy pictures.

Holy crap. Too big for me though.

You've all just been waiting for this!

A Royce Union (!) classic bike "just like Schwinn Paramount"!

Auction # 7215586272

To make matters worse, they are representing an early seventies bike as an early sixties one, and the starting bid is $199!!

This one is going on my watch list, if only for the amusement value.......

Legnano Gran Premio... this is nice stuff. Not enough pics.
