He's got the current value of the bike wrong IMO. If he wants to get
a starting bid, he'll need to shift the decimal place two positions to
the left. If the drilling hadn't been done, he could have just
shifted it one place and I suspect it would have climbed to the
current asking price.All those holes will do is collect dirt and create surface turbulence.
The weight removed was less probably less than what his scale could
document. The value removed should be educational for the perp.

Probably used as an anchor on a yacht. Good luck getting the
stem out. That bike has been circulating on e-bay for months,

I take it there are no collectors here or those that remember the
fashion of drillium.It definitely looks like a fixer upper, and since it hasn't sold I would
have to say overpriced, but I don't think by much, if it was a 58cm.
frame it would be long gone. Art Stump bikes are rare and much sought
after.The frame looks good from what I can see and with a little work the
components could be restored. It would be a one of a kind vintage
showpiece for a taller rider.Marcus

I still have the numbers-of-turns-and-holes for common chainring-tooth
counts on a bit of paper in the box that holds the dividing
attachment, _and_ the adaptors I made for chainrings that had bolt
circles larger than the TA/Nervar/Stronglight/Williams/etcetera
standard.Let me know if you want more than just memories...

I take it there are no collectors here or those that remember the
fashion of drillium.I have taken pictures of an even 'better' example of DIS (Drillium
Insanity Syndrome).
Just ask me and I'll send pictures.
Then, make an adequate offer and it will be yours.Sergio

IMO, that bike is kinda unattractive, in addition to being overpriced
and in very poor condition.Here's a nice example of Drillium, and of nice frame craft, too, from

That's a feature, man! Golf-ball effect. Just ask the folks over at

Yeah, and still not sold. But there is some memory nagging at me. I
don't think the "DMC" (or "DCM"Â as the ad reads it) cut into the components
is anyone's initials, as suggested in the ad. I can't remember where I
have seen that before, though. Any help?--

Ugly, unrideable bike and ugly, unlistenable music; sounds like a great
partnership! -
