Peter Bundy Track Racing Bike Fixie - eBay Other Bikes, Bikes, Cycling, Sport. (end time 30-May-10 21:29:39 AEST)
any thoughts? how easily could this be faked?
Looks tight. Faked? I don’t know. People have been putting someone elses name on bikes forever. You may need some better pics, as even if people who know what bundy frames look like had a squiz I don’t think they could tell from those ebay shots.

too true, watch out for fakes. Turns out my merckx is a fake. Although it’s kinda obvious.
Perhaps ask for details on lugs, etc, see if you can find any of the framebuilders signatures.
Even if it isn’t a bundy its still a nice bike
watching this item
he also has this:eek:

Nearlly jizzed when i just found that.
^^^^ faaark!
Crap! That Peter Bundy is my size too! Hmm, I’d rather not be out of money, but I do like my Australian track frames! I think I’ll have to ask for some more details from the seller.
It would be best to.
Anyone know if they’re sugino mighty cranks? And the hubs? Dura ace? Nova Tech? No clue.
Not sure how he doesn’t know much about his own bike if its custom built Peter Bundy that he use to race
Whoa - how much did that set you back?
The cranks sort of look like 75s, not really looking like Mighty cranks at all.
the name on it doesn’t matter a whole lot. it’s not as though bundy’s are made of gold or something. looks like a good quality 80’s track frame, and therefore is worth as much as a good quality 80’s track frame…
^Exactly…
And if someone is going to go to the effort of making a ‘fake’ they would probably be using decals that are going to add more value than that…
Fake Merckx, yes. Fake Bundy? Highly doubt it.
Gees Coffee, Bundy’s are to us what Columbus Max is to you. Some of us set the bar a bit lower than yourself. <insert winking smiley>
daacha
Well now that Jim has 7 sets of Columbus max tubes, you can get a new max Bundy.
Odd though that those Peter Bundy decals aren’t typical - but I agree with coffee: “Fake Merckx, yes. Fake Bundy?” Probably not.
Bundy’s are great frames, I recently got a Columbus MAX triple triangle Bundy which i love… Just saying fakes tend to be the high end names merckx, colnago etc. Sometimes a framebuilder does a repaint of a frame and slaps their decals on it though.
But yeah i havent seen those PB decals before either.
This is super common. Just like your (HMC’s) Hillman. I also know of a “Paconi” that’s definitely not. I think the "Special"s are repaints by Tom Wallace in Brisbane too, and possibly "Mitchell"s are repaints by Soren Son.
My old man’s Hillman is now repainted as a Perkins too
I think it’s all legit, especially with that Geoff Scott in there as well, he prob just wants to get rid of them and can’t be bothered with really accurate descriptions. PM’d about the bundy. anyone live in Cronulla?
I’m in bondi tristan if you want me to pick it up for ya and ship it
