bargain

What’s he want?
$1500
Tell him he’s dreaming.

Lots of lols

really went to town on those expensive parts! i’d hardly call a set of velocity wheels and no-name everything else absolutely going to town - “Spent a {very} small fortune!”. good to see he appreciates the history of the bicycle by stripping it and powdercoating it. what a fucking dick.

How much for jousting sticks Dad?

Can’t be more than 250.

“These frames are rare, expensive and gaining in popularity with a small cult following developing in Melbourne”- like him. Who’s going to be the first to ask the bar spin question?

Time for some question flaming:

Hi there,
Amazing bike - you are right about the Rob Specials being an amazing vintage frame. Would you accept $1400 for BIN?

Ask seller a question:

I just wanted to know, are you on crack?

They even “soured” the parts themselves - a pretty accurate description.

I look forward to seeing how much the buy it now drops after it keeps getting relisted over the next couple of weeks.

Message’d on the bay

“did you put the wrong size wheels on it so it could do sick bar spinzz?”

He’s actually got his mobile number up on the auction if anyone wants to take a more direct approach.

“I have been looking for an original Rob Special for years. I can’t believe you powdercoated it! It looks like it had original paint and everything, and you just jumped on this trendy fixie bandwagon. Its people like you who ruin Australian cycling history.”

His mobile number has now been removed and replaced with…
“Real bidders and serious inquiries only.”
