Mint 753 Zinn!!!

[pete_mcc]

Hmmm, stinks a bit of the 'tootbrush' affair where a bidder and a partner put in a couple of high bids to put all others off and then withdraw them late into the bidding when most potential bidders have lost interest.

Personally I think bid retraction shouldn't be allowed. Fine, if you enter the wrong amount you will know that straight away (especially after you enter the bid and then confirm the bid and then see you bid in quick succession) not days later, so give people a 30 minute window for that. If you want to ask the seller something then do so before you bid, so that 'can't contact seller' excuse is a nonsense too.

All that said, that is still a pile of cash, although no where near the daft Klein prices that people pay.

I got it, couldn't resist when I saw there was some bids retracted. I only put one bid in and thought it would be passed at the end but it wasn't.

I know people think it went a lot higher than it should but I don't mind, I've loved them since I got my orginial one back in the 90's and can't wait to get it, I just hope it's as goods as the description and the pictures suggest.

It may not be everybodies cup of tea but it definitely is mine! Hopefully I can share some pictures when it arrives.

Well done i say...., i thought near £1500 was a bit much, but, close to a grand spot on...., you know youself the build cost from scratch, its hard to find, handbuilt and 753.....cool.

You got a good deal - well done. I thought about putting a bid in when I saw it had come down but didn't for some reason that I'm sure was clear to me at the time!!

Really hope its want you wanted and you enjoy it

I think Gio, that if you look at what you spent on the original bike, decals, a repair and repaint, and all those lovely NOS bits for your initial Zinn then this other one wouldnt be far off.

Guys,

You'll see this back on ebay soon I reckon. I've never done it before and I didn't want to do it but I had to pull out of the purchase. It wasn't because the misses said so but because funds were needed for emergency work on the house and I didn't have enough for both. I'm really gutted but the seller was very good about it and I hope somebody here gets it when, and if he relists.

Let the games begin (again)!

Sorry to hear that Gio, Ill keep an eye out for a more sensibly priced British classic for you, now that you have justified another bike to yourself.

Thanks mate,

A nice Roberts would fill the gap sometime in the near future...
