Thanks PANZR that's it. Had a quick look and you can get them on eBay for $140.

Aero frame that looks like has had a major front end impact.

Europa with chrome fork crown, Made in Japan decal and something strange on the bars.

A nice Marinoni.

Raleigh Technium. Are those lugs?

[ldrcycles]

The stays are steel and the front triangle is aluminium tubes bonded and swaged into the lugs. One of those bikes that flies under the radar a bit.

Any thoughts on what's going on here? I'm lost for words.

Um...

Badminton racket holder??? Or, just a weird sense of humour.

[foo on patrol]

That's different!

Racket holder... that is not such a silly idea actually
But then, why connect the derailleur to the cable and thus the gear lever?
Maybe just an attention seeker...

Repco with a Masi saddle.

Paging QuangVuong, is this related to your mystery frame?

[QuangVuong]

Close, but not the same frame. Paint job is, but the Repco has a braze on FD mount, different lugs and fork crown, as well as different bottom bracket shell.

Olympic 12 with a very low saddle.

Crazy paint job. How do they do that?

[geoff_tewierik]

Just a matter of using a crackle medium.

i.e. http://www.porterspaints.com/paints/spe ... kle-medium" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

[mark field]

if i remember correctly, the top layer of paint has a greater shrinkage ability or something along those lines.

A very solid looking Cecil Walker next to a bike not lacking in baskets.

Must have been 'bring your yellow Peugeot to work day'. I hadn't seen a straight bladed Peugeot before. Also hadn't heard of an E12.

It was a great night for beardos on the corner of Swanston and Lonsdale tonight. A curly stay Hetchins running 9 or 10 speed campy with cantos and then locked up not far from that was a beautiful Bauer Werke ki auheim, i didn't get a photo but it had this head badge (sorry for the massive image) and had some very nice features that put me in mind of the French constructers. Oh and my Huntsman rando too

Not sure what the frame is but very nice.

A couple of early carbons.

Is that a 16 spoke Deep V, and a fairly low count rear, on what look to be Shimano hubs on the Trek? That's cool. I have an 18/24 Deep V wheelset laced to 6500 hubs, and I've ever only seen that one low spoke set.
