theres some engineering on that - great
its a stunning frame no doubt, must be rare, however I am still amazed on the final price
I cannot believe the price of that
Is itva rare bike or has someone bought a lemon
Bloody hell, I've been drunk and bid too much on FleaBay before, but I don't think I could drink that much!! 😯
I know education is going down the pan in this country, but come on.... getting the decimal point in the right place is the basics!!
That is a very bonny bike, pretty much every nut and bolt is interesting - easily worth the money for someone who wants one.
Is it a GT?
It's a BMC, with a compact chainset.
It's only worth 2k as it's Cadel's winning bike.
And it started at 99p with no reserve.
Two people are very happy anyway, apart from someone calling it a lemon 🙄
I know some pricks that spent twice that on rigid steel bikes with only a quarter of the gears that that one has! there's one born every minute.
Fascinating detail pics.
"advertised elsewhere", go on then, spill the beans, how much for?
Thanet Silverlights are rare and the components on that can be bloody expensive to buy and a problem to source if restoring a classic British road bike.I have seen a pair of Blumels noweight mudguards make 400 quid on ebay
Is it a GT?
😀
Could've got a nice classic car for £2k.
Thanet Silverlight, that's a top end British classic.
You'll find some 'unusual' engineering around the B/B, but yes it's rare and just about ticks every box in the collectors book.
