Anyone up for a brand new Stack Hat, with its box as well. I've got a Giro Aerohead in its box, so maybe I should go for another classic helmet. Pretty sure I had one of these in yellow or white a while ago.

It was frustratingly tempting, but too hard to get away at the moment. $50 for a proper tandem bike including 2 brooks saddles :x . I've been wanting a tandem for a long while.

"Rest of bike doesn't work"? Does this mean it's already stripped, because surely most of the parts can be salvaged otherwise.

Was $150. Now it's negotiable. Looks basic for a 5*.

What a bargain. I wonder why the sale fell through.

An ALAN frame with campag, pity the fork looks like a steel replacement (and a hideous stem). Do the front brake pads actually reach the rim tracks? http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/devonpor ... 1065614560" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Surely this is worth $20 if you're around Brisbane or the Sunny coast.
Alpina

It's been relisted a few weeks going now.

I don't know about anybody else but this boils me blood. I just hope it's not that Jack Taylor that went fairly cheap a few months ago.

Nice high end touring tandem...Once

Tandem Bile? I have had a few and they can be frustrating to transport. I spose my language when the pedals of one tandem locked in the spokes of the other tandem was tandem bile!

Obviously not a good speller/typist, but can anyone offer an explanation for the "Toledo" set of wheels - previously described as wills??

I'm thinking that's probably crappy voice recognition software at work. Maybe "Two complete" perhaps?
