Sorry for my garbled message earlier today, don´t know what´s up.
What I wanted to say is that I, too, receive phishing messages that are
supposedly by ebay although I´m not a member at all and so have never
done any dealing through them. I guess the phishers just use standard spam address lists, or send spiders through the net themselves to harvest addresses, and then just assume that everyone nowadays is an ebay member anyway.
On Hilary Stone´s electric auction list today there´s a Brian Rourke. There´s one on my wooljersey gallery (www.wooljersey.com/gallery/theilmeit) also, and I must say I just luv that bike. There´s not much of a gruppo on, 1983 or 4 NR, but the
frame´s great. Mine was made for an RAF officer stationed in Germany,
left here when he was posted away (supposedly) and then used by our local racing bike store as a bike for trainees to disassemble and re-assemble until I rescued it. So, anyone unfamiliar with the name, but after a really nice frame (YMMV) might do worse than try and get the Rourke Hilary put up for auction. Besides, staff at Rourke´s are
very friendly and will probably be able to tell any buyer something about the frame.
