Bought myself a nice Brooks Cambium for cheap because it was filthy!

There's still good bargains to be had, especially for used stuff that's badly photographed/dirty/tatty.

Might be able to help with SSCs, message me!

Unusual to find colnago in such good condition going for a song

Thinking of buying one of these locally. I-drive, proper tech advance or just a sales pitch?

Probably will do a few thou though

Blimey, 450 on the hammer. About 500 with fees

That's nice, but you need a really good reason to buy a tandem

If you will ride a nice bike, keep it dirty and use ratty bar tape, beat up saddle

+1 for getting bikes nicked. I've had 3 bikes nicked in london, none of them amazing, but never had one stolen anywhere else

Is it metallic or plain paint?

I love that kind of burnt orange colour

I'd love a Caminade Caminarget ( Duralumin), with octagonal tubes! Pipe dream though, they go for 5-15k... 😬

I really like the way the seat post is held quite elegantly in just the lug.

Saxon Twin Tube c. 1936

I found an 857 in a charity shop last year, but very very badly abused... 😴

But seriously, if you age any tyre you'll improve its puncture resistance considerably. Apparently team mechanics on the grand tours would hang their tyres with their fine hams for 3 years before glueing up.

You should move to Brighton, roads are silky smooth round here and no flints!

That's a lot of 1950's rare French vintage for not a lot of money... 😬
