He didn't say it was a good range - bit like my "top speed"

[Roisin79]

Possible could well become probable. Can anyone id it? (BTW, it's not my ad.).

The bulk buy to rule them all, 4,000 (allegedly)!

"The bikes range anywhere from Trek's, Schwinn's and vintage stuff to your typical department store bikes." Looks like 95%+ worthless junk to me from those pics.

blimey, i cant see to many people lining up to pay 20k for effectively a couple of dozen keepers and a few tonne of scrap metal, (mostly hi tensile steel by the look of it)

you have to wonder at what point he figured he had enough of them?

Someone cleaning out for a person with hoarding disorder? Or a really ineffieicent bike theif, only stole front lawn freebies? Donation to Africa set up that went wrong?

It would have taken a pretty long time to collect that many too.

The answer is most certainly BOTH

So if the original price is $300 is $150 50% or 80% off? And is the best brand Road Chief or Indi 500? Make up your mind, you;ve gone to all that trouble and contradicted yourself.

Can't imagine why...

Can't imagine why... [emoji38]

I suspect that it's because someone has developed an effective algorithm to identify the rat cunning of the terminally ignorant.

The blue one is definitely the one to go for since it matches the fly swatter

Want it..... Very tempted to get my sister to drop around and pick it up....
Saw a couple of these in real life back in the UK. Really well built but I never worked out why they bothered with the 'gate' design at the front seat of the tandem. Pointless really.

Holy hell.

No bids with 16hrs left at only 1000 pounds? Sounds like a bargain to me, even with only one saddle .


This one just popped up on bookface listed as an Australia Post bike for $400. I'm no expert but the only thing that looks remotely AP about it to me is the colour. What's the verdict?

I'd be tempted if I had a reliable hookup in the UK too - it's one of the nicest tandems I've seen

Certainly not a southcott bike. IIRC prior to then there was no standard bicycle & the local manager bought whatever he felt like. Frankly though without any provenance, it is just a red bike.

[munga]

..and if it is an australia post bike, it's still just a red bike
