smells a bit to me some of the terminology in the listing and in their feedback a few cycle/bmx dealings

Munnyella · « **Reply #38 on:** March 13, 2010, 10:30 PM »

I will have a pound each way on this ever coming to fruition (is that spelt correctly?)

would love it to be good, but i'm not holding my breath ( lagery as it is!)

someone from here would have known about a bike shop in their locale flogging good stuff BITD and have enquired/robbed it in the previous 25 years.

gut wants it, heart wants it, mind says its a fix...

I dont believe a shop lays undiscovered, 10 years or more ago Biagio,Kirk,Mcnulty and myself all had jobs on the road and would visit every shop we saw and I am sure others were doing it too, surely this would not have got missed???

crazycraig · « **Reply #43 on:** March 14, 2010, 07:17 AM »

Its up to £2800 and no contact from the seller .

firebird · « **Reply #44 on:** March 14, 2010, 07:49 AM »

If it was me going round to remove these items I would have been banging out loads of pictures on phone,

I've had a look in the back of that shop about 7 years ago, and it was full of used bike... fooking choca block, piled up like a tiny indoor scrap yard. He had a few Raliegh bits kicking about, Grifter seats, the odd cheapo snake belly and shitty OGK mags, I'm sure it shut down a year or so later.

Full of old shite, the Burner boys would have liked it

WARDY · « **Reply #46 on:** March 14, 2010, 08:30 AM »

bet theres loads of shops undiscovered out there as Joe ran a franchise in the late 1800s , Reckon its someone who wants rid of their old tat and placed it inside the shop for authenticity

scary_leary · « **Reply #47 on:** March 14, 2010, 08:39 AM »

A few years ago i was driving wagons and would call in on every old looking bike bike shop, found a few tuffs, seats and brakes but never the mother load
or any bikes/frames..
A few good leads never materialised, once got a tip that a shop near ashton manchester had bikes stacked up in its celler,
i spoke to the owner who said come back in a week (after the school hols) and i'll let you have a look.. so after a week of excitement i uncovered a room full of cheap argos type barbie shit..
Never passed this place in Holmfirth mind

martylaa · « **Reply #48 on:** March 14, 2010, 09:05 AM »

like the idea of some old bike stuff laid away for years, what i don't like is the ebay listing, with no pictures, no full inventory of the stuff and what condition its in, the lister on ebay is selling on behalf of someone else and finally how they say its advertised somewhere else, can't believe its up tp over 2 grand without those details, also its listed eleswhere is a ebay violation surprised it has'nt been pulled, anyway i'm sure biagio is round there now taking the best stuff or all of it

HARORIDER · « **Reply #49 on:** March 14, 2010, 09:09 AM »

i agree martylaa you surely would not even bid without seeing the stuff first $:-\$ sure it says dia compe brakes now everyone is thinking sh1t it's mx1000 full brake sets but might only be the old racer style $:-\$

buyer beware
