In the colour scheme I love (although it's certainly not for everyone), but too big for me, looks like 56-57ish.

The Mambo bikes were sold through Big W, from memory they weren't much more than $140 brand new.

Isn't that Miyata the one that sold for $310 one week and $450 the next? If they do manage to sell it for that much it would have to be a record for something with biopace cranks!

I actually went and had a look at this bike, it now has a different seat post in it as the original was seized. The gent had removed the seatpost by slicing the seatube below the lug then reshimming to fit a smaller seatpost ! :shock:

I payed less than half that for my 710 including shipping from interstate, it was more original and in better condition. And I thought I over paid. Tell him he's drrr....

The 310 was original. Very clean example until the current seller swapped out some parts that werent even worn.

Check out this 1968 Omega

Interesting 5 spd SA hub gears, and other bits besides.

The seller does say road/track in the description. I would guess it's one like my Tom Wallace, horizontal dropouts so it can be used fixed but also intended for road use.


And that is the bodgiest chain tensioner i've ever seen :shock: .

Hmm, clamp-on fittings BTW, not braze-on. Nice looking bike, whatever :)
