I had a snipe running at just over the ton which I was appropriate due to the stuck seatpost. If it needed professionally removing, that adds £80 to the cost. I was very interested though since the larger sizes don't seem to come up that often.

Cadbury's is a bit more bluish, less reddish. Straight bars?

Thr rules here are you have to name a price.

The BB was a pussycat. :) Just the standard tool and my long breaker bar no heat required just put some WD40 through hole in bottom of BB bracket. If that fails my next stage is the impact driver which usually works.

If you haven't seen it already I would recommend it as a highly informative 30 minutes. The most amazing thing for me was at the end they show a dual suspension shaft-driven Pierce bike. Any guesses what year? The museum guy is asked whether this was the first gravel bike and he gave the best...

I made an offer two weeks ago and heard nothing.
