Thought I'd open a dedicated thread to some other bikes over there or here.
As said, I was just looking and some very nice frame makers in GB.

Pashley Aurora 531 Mixte/Alfine 8 - $950 (UA) columbus.craigslist.org/bik/5727554246.html Looking for a change of pace, need to free garage space! Up for sale is my 2014 Pashley Aurora mixte custom built for me by Paradise Garage. It's a handmade-in-the-UK Reynolds 531 fully lugged frame with Alfine 8 IGH and full stainless fenders. Fast, fluid, and great in any weather, with that great electric hum that good steel is known for. Absolutely a lifetime investment frame! Custom built with VO Porteur Rack, Soma oxford bars, nitto quill stem, Brooks slender grips & B67 Saddle. Rain cape not included, I do have a matching VO constructeur rear rack I'll include for a small upcharge. Original build $3000, 660 miles on her now; light use, always stored indoors at home & work, a few light marks here and there, very well taken care of, tuned up recently, everything works smoothly and as expected. Absolutely one-of-a-kind elegant, stylish, and fast transport! 22" frame fits me pretty well at 5'10" although I'm a little short in the torso I'd say it fits 5'5-5'10" as is, or up to about 6'2" if you went to a less swept-back bar or drop bars. |

I think it's safe to say that Pashley will still be around and being ridden well after I am gone. I like it.

Not a complete bike, but some early Brevets Chavez crank arms that have been left out in the sun too long and gone soft. I think the point the seller has added about them not being a pair means that they could not be mounted to give the desired S shape - they would both curve the same way. I see Pete trying these out. |

I don't get the idea of these bent or other angular crank arms at all. How can they perform any differently from a straight arm that runs between the b/b and pedal axle openings? Or am I just ignoring the aesthetics? The ebay offer doesn't appear to include the b/b axle with a square taper at one end and cotter pin fitting at the other that you'd need to use these arms as a pair. Better get the lathe warmed up if you fancy them, Pete! |

detroit.craigslist.org/okl/bik/5743711836.htmlRaleigh Record Ace (RRA could only mean that I'd think) going for beaucoup dinero, Raleigh wheel covers, jersey, the write up says as a theory, Raleigh went on strike and instead of the Professional, they came out with this.

minneapolis.craigslist.org/ram/bik/5826641385.htmlDutch bike, Eroba, looks okay, inexpensive. Nothing extraordinary. But like the one before, very unique; it's in too good of shape for me. I really like looking at all kinds of bikes out there. Brands one never sees.

Chicagoans and those nearby, what is interesting about the bike boom were some of the inhouse bikes. Anyone recognize a Turin Chicago? Buddy said he did. albuquerque.craigslist.org/bik/5783737908.htmlI saved some pix of it if the sale closes. |

I happened to post pictures of that "Turin Chicago" bike at bikeforums.net. www.bikeforums.net/19158486-post37517.html <--- Note, the head badge is a take off of a famous sculpture by Pablo Picasso there in Chicago. I posted a picture as well. The next day, the web page I posted above, said the listing had expired, so that doesn't mean it was sold, maybe though, at that price, it'd be worth speculating. |
