Whats the story with this bike then @gounthar? It looks like it was wheeled back from the LBS in 1983 and hasn't seen much action since (apart from a few chips and losing its downtube decal). Did the seller give any info?

I'd love to and thanks for the invite - keep meaning to.

For balance I will say some kids tried to rob me and other commuters a few years ago and the Met were great. The kids waited at the top of a hill (Fountain Drive / Colleage road Dulwich) for knackered cyclists and then tried to threaten to give up the bike with a stanley knife and a screwdriver...

My bike has been nicked in the City of London and yes, it was too small to be dealt with by City Police. Who is this mythical granny getting her purse snatched? Have you been to the City of London? Did you see many grannies? You're trawling out a host of straw man cliches here. The correct...

I'm sure the officers had arrested everyone in the City of London guilty of $$$M fraud that day and were simply at a loose end - and meaning well.

I had a flatshare with a condor once. It was a complete no-no to eat peanuts in communal areas and we lost the deposit in the end as their claws caused a lot of damage to soft furnishings. Be careful what you wish for is all I'm saying.

Listed as £150 for both.

Those Cinelli Alter stems were the rage with the hipsters a decade ago - went for silly money.

Indeed. For the Bruce Burford record why go aero at all and have tribars, discs, monocoque? A missed opportunity to have some fun with it and put some panniers and a Brooks on a WR beating bike :)

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1252693659198461 Two chainrings, (Soubitez?) dynamo lighting, stainless guards, Mafac brakes. Did a search and found this on bikeforums from our very own @juvela (Arc en Ciel) it is a house brand for the french chainstore COOP example in photo looks...

23s max limits the appeal a little but would build into a hardcore steel racer for not much dough.

Optomistic with a suite of high quality photos and a detailed spec. Confuses 501 with 105 and two shonky smartphone pics in a shed of the non drive side.......TAXI!

Potentially the case as the seller has another item listed as 'free' and then says 'open to offers' in text. A shame if so.

I'm not so sure about that. I flagged a Pinarello Asolo (Cromor) a while back - whole bike with Shimano 600 for £120. It sat there for ages and nobody bought it.

It should be noted that I was being vulgar but I said the gent looked like a bell end, not that he was a bellend. An important distinction I feel. I once had a hard job explaining to my American colleague that 'dogs bollocks' was a good thing and 'bollocks' was bad. For an in depth lesson on...

Yeah it was I suppose. I think the root of the aero question (to be or not to be concerned with it) is in that photo though. @Nob is a tester and clearly respects and champions those who can lay it down and knock out a great time. Achieving the objective of less time is the only thing that...

Perhaps. He's burned his sartorial dignity though with that get up. He quite literally looks like a bellend.
