Hi all, opps I got it wrong, it got to $1000, the reserve was $2500, dreaming North Islander. Here is the blurb,
We recondition and customise all types of bicycles using a perfect mixture of vintage and top of the range cycle parts from all over the world.
Each of our bikes are complete one off builds - They are not mass produced, No one bike will ever be the same. You will be purchasing something completely unique.
Inspired by hot rods and lowriders of the 1950s.
This model -
1970s Wilier Triestina Track Frame - 57cm - (fully reconditioned and powder coated.) Beautiful frame detail see photo.
Chopped MTB Mountain Bike Bars - 40cm.
Vintage White Ouri Grips.
Specialized Toupe Leather Race Saddle 143mm.
Vintage Nitto Dynamic 9 Track Stem.
MTB Carbon Fibre 27.2 Seatpost.
Vintage Campagnolo Brev Int Hardware.
Vintage Campagnolo Pista 170 Cranks.
Deep V - Velocity Rims With Velocity Hubs (one side has a fixed gear while the other side has a freewheel, just in case you dont like being fixed all the time.)
Vittoria Rubino 25 Tyres.
KMC White Sport Chain.
MKS Silvan Track Pedals With Toshi Straps.
This bike has not touched the road since its recondition - All of the parts are brand new except the Campagnolo components and the Frame.
Its a shame to see that he molests other bikes as well...................wayne davidson Invers NZ............
