eBay prices on the rise, good time to sell old junk?

Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, the use of these carriers was before my time

Only used at the beginning of my cycling life by others in London and SE England where it was often not far to the event and a lot of folk still didn't have cars in the late 60's/ early 70's.
I went looking for the Cyclo tub carriers in my collection and I can't find the steel ones in the chaos that is my shed at the moment!
I did find the alloy Cyclo ones tho and a pair made by Cliff Peters shop in Birmingham (obviously well used) which illustrates how easy it was to make your own.


Might have to start a separate 'Tub Carrier' thread soon

Well done, pretty simple item, different ways of executing that same task and as you noted pretty simple thing to fabricate on your own.

The vicissitudes in the market still fascinate; scored a 531c Hillman and Kenevans 653 Track for a total of $270. They lingered around for days too and not in woop woop

Pics please.

Is the Hillman the one in Newport? Surprised it hung around for as long as it did.

Thoughts on these? I really don't have space at the moment to buy another bike but I do like learning which one are decent quality

Peter Allan - South African I believe (not Rio...) looks decent although wouldn't mind some more pictures.

Tamari - were based on the Gold Coast. Allegedly had frames made by Masi, probably not this one though, looks lower end with the 501 tubing, but would still be a great frame with a bit of love. Possibly Abeni/Europa built?

Interesting!!
I saw another old brand of bike this week that appeared to be South African in origin from the Google searches... can't remember the brand name at the moment though.

Who made Cecil Walkers in the 80s/early 90s? There's a Columbus steel with shimano 105 for a nice price on fb.

The other South African marque could be Zini.

I'm not sure if it was exclusive, but Kevin Wigham of Paconi put together a lot of Cecil Walkers during that timeframe.

You're a fountain of knowledge P!N20 !

I looked through my history... the brand was Alpina. There's a thread on here that I'd found that mentioned it after seeing one for sale.

Plenty of Dura-Ace and Campagnolo stuff hanging off this Cannondale: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/camp-hi ... 1323362038

Apart from the awful photos, this could be interesting for those in Sydney:
