Re: So, I have listed on eBay as recommended. But I have listed it all together (as not recommended). Someone will get a really nice and almost complete Bike to restore - or all the Campy sets they need and still have a great frame to flip. Thanks for all the advice - this is a great group.

Re: Thanks Seanaus I go into Lismore regularly, so I will check it out.

Re: Thanks for all the interest, help and info. I dropped into the post office to get an idea of postage prices for the whole rig via Australia Post. Essentially it will be a min approx $330 AUD to send to US, UK or Europe - that's roughly $230usd, £180, €200. Based on 20kg (the bike with...

Re: I'm in the Northern Rivers Region, 30mins inland from Byron. Mainly cattle around here - looking to get some Alpaca on my land myself - perhaps a V8 Holden Ute would come in handy - I would consider a swap for a bright green Maloo R8! Lol.

Re: I think international eBay is the way forward - it probably wouldn't be much less expensive to ship to WA from here - thats like shipping from London to the South of Spain. The car is a late 1940, early 50's Ford Prefect - sunbaked to perfection, it will become a colourful flower display...

Re: The bike is still available - I've been too busy to list it properly- however the Alfa is off to a new home on Saturday.

Re: Vcballbat - yes, yes and yes. The crimp in the seat tube for the tyre clearance is way cool - I didn't notice it until I starting researching. Oval tubes and internal cabling.

Re: Thanks DSH. From what I have seen complete bikes seem to be sold in excellent original or fully restored condition and everything else in parts - for greater $/£. International e-bay (read the US) would seem to be the market for this, wherever it goes it has be sent from here - Australia...

Re: I thought I'd give it a clean and put it back together Damn, it sure looks purdy now.

Re: I have found a number stamped in by the cutout B - 56 868 So - 56cm - 1986 August? Any experts to tell me where to look. All 3 frames are light blue - I wonder if this was a club racing colour? The Italian, Japanese and German mix on the other drop handlebars is an interesting mix.

So a neighbour and friend recently passed away and his son was clearing out his house. He knows I collect rusty gold for upcycling and garden art and asked if I would like his dad's old bikes that were, at that point, in the skip. Sure I said - I know nothing about bikes but they looked cool...
