good deal or no deal?If the bike comes complete it is a hell of a deal. New, they're still running about $4500. You tell me if that sounds like a good deal?

second hand frame. 2002 model, just before the b-stays.
It is only the frame, forks, headset and seatpost.
Looks new and it was a cafe bike from the description.

Im saying this because i decided to buy it!!

good deal or no deal?Gidday. I'm not a second hand bike buyer by nature, but I got Kirke's old Geo C40 a year or so ago (TBE Belmont had it in their shop) and it's just a great bike.
You will cop a bit of stick riding a C40, but only 'cause they are all envious.
Do agree though - Italian bike = Italian Group set...hope you have Campag.
Cheers

C40's are fine, as are other bikes worth more
than mine... but only if you are passing me...If it's sitting at a cafe or I roll passed you while
you struggle to work out how Campag Ergo
or Shimi STI works... then you deserve some
flak! hahaha ;-)Nice bike, btw.. I want photos of _yours_
when it's done.. It's gonna be a singlespeed
right? :-Phippy

oh of course!
fixie as well😉
actually, the addition of this frame to my stable means i have a lovely Cinelli proxima columbus thron tubing frame - 58cm to build into a SS!
I already have the KHS flite 100 fixie though it really is a pursuit frame and has a very steep angle. So i want a more relaxed angle for cruising the beaches in perth in the summer.
My plan is to get the drop outs on the cinelli changed to track drops, repaint it baby blue from the original canary yellow (ala the 12th man), put some bull bars on it, 50-15 fixed gearing on 175mm cranks with freewheel SS on the other side of the flip-flop.suggestions?/comments?
is there any way of posting pics without having it through an external web address?

50-15. heyzoos. I gather that there are either no hills along said beach or you are Sean Eadies' supplier?
-
no hills really though i am now just thinking that the freo doctor will be coming in around 12 everyday and could make life very difficult on that ratio....
standby for further brain clunking and assorted whirring motions to determine appropriate gearing.... -

175mm cranks are pretty long too - have you
considered your cornering clearance?Quoted message said:

or so for personal web pages, you could pay for one,
you could.get one of the free geocities ones or I could
give you some space on mine if you beg loud/long enough 😉hippy
