...And Now For Something Completely Say What???

This is gold:http://tinyurl.com/onrxw7t



Surely a snip at only $2481.71 (plus $591 delivery). Who's in?

[AUbicycles]

Shimano Claris 2400 and Hydrolic (sic) brakes.

mine is lower priced and already in Australia. and has a tourney derailleur! and i love the bike stand

[bigfriendlyvegan]

I now have cancer from reading those ads.

[Duck!]

That first one looks decidedly like a Chinarello.......

[AUbicycles]

Hint, the second bike is the same.

The sad thing is that for a novice it has plenty of bling (and a bit of blong) so can surely sting a few unwitting souls.

Interestingly the same seller whenever they promise "Free Shipping" provides the following information:

Orders will be shipped out within 1-3 working days of payment receipt,though most will be shipped out within 48 hours during weekdays. We do not ship on weekends or various national holidays. (we will make sure that your item is packed well and in good condition before shipment).
All items are sent from China via Registered Sea Parcel - generally around 1-2.5 months.
We can not guarantee the delivery time but we can provide tracking number & scanned copy of shipping receipt for your reference.

Be a bit tough waiting two and a half months for your parcel to arrive, especially after being ripped off on what you paid for the item.

One thing I cannot abide is rim brake rims on disc braked bikes.

I know that, I was alluding to landyacht's link as "the second one", that is an entirely different monster.

Somebody vomitted on it

^Bloody hell. It is only regurgitation, I thought something had died and decomposed on it. Are they shift levers on the bars near the stem? Does it come with the stand on it? Talk about feature packed.

Actually it's probably a pretty cheap bike considering the Zipp disc brake wheelset is likely to cost around 3000+ dollars.

[jules21]

the running costs would be a killer, that seat would need a lot of vyagra

I have Open Pros on my CX bike paired with Hope Pro 2 Disc Hubs. The problem is that 29er disc rims tend to assume you are running wide tyres.

THIS photo has Zipps, in every other photo the wheels are some weird white deep rimmed things.

The eBay sellers are probably stoked that they're getting so much attention on their bikes.

I'd be more interested if SOLOMO was renamed 'SLO-MO'

And Eurobike was EuroTRASH!

+1. If it's built for a purpose then great... Even though I remain disc-less on the road for the immediately forseeable, I see no issue with buying a disc ready dyno hub and building it up and using on a rim-braked bike commuter/randonneur/light tourer from my existing collection of older steel frames.

On the other hand, if its a complete package being sold as something it's not to a gormless punter....

[redsonic]

The description of the frame is brilliant:

"Aluminum alloy frame of the lacquer that bake, Germany break through the old design lead".
How could you not be tempted to buy?

[InTheWoods]

LOL

The pic with the Lambo and draftsman drawing sell it for me.

Not to mention the drawing next to it is of a flat bar.....

ACTION NOW!

[ldrcycles]

Yep, i have a pair of those and they actually work quite well. The bike they're attached to, probably not so much .

[greyhoundtom]

I have asked the seller the question "do the Zipp branded wheels come with the bike as shown on the picture of the bike, or the Euro branded wheels as shown in the alternative picture?

If the answer is yes to the Zipps I may have to buy the bike just to get some cheap CF Zipp wheels.

[bigfriendlyvegan]

You can buy zipp stickers for cheaper. Actually, you can buy Hipp stickers for your generic carbon rims, if you want the hipster value.

Was looking for a new commuter but alas, no provision for my rack & panniers.
