Trading up roadies......wooohhooooo!!!!
About 3 weeks ago I privately sold my 2002 Avanti Monza with 8spd Sora and
over 20,000km on the clock....it was in reasonable condition and I got $500 for it. Today I scored a bike off of Ebay for $585 and picked it up tonight from out near Clinton's Rd....here's the photo that was on ebay..... http://tinyurl.com/lehqm It's an Eddy Merckx frame made of Columbus tubing with a seat tube length of 63cm. Chorus 10spd levers and brakes with Record front and rear derailleurs. Has a Sigma Targa with 1800km or so on the clock!!!! The guy lived on a steep dirt road and had a 13-27t cluster on the rear. He also threw in an almost brand new 12-25t Chorus cluster, BBB cluster tool, and a BBB chain whip!!!! The bike is in great condition and has Mavic classic SSC wheels and hubs (nice loud clickety clack on the rear when coasting), a Rolls seat and Columbus stem. GPL will be happy to hear that I finally got my first bit of CF bling (the body of the Record rear derailleur). I am pretty sure that I got a good deal for a total changeover of $85 and I don't think the missus realised that the other one had gone so I don't even have to explain why I need another bike. The only bad bit is that my cast has to stay on my arm for another five weeks so I won't get to ride it for a while (am still on the mtb for work though). Gags |

Gags That definitely sounds like $85 well spent! Pity you can't ride the thing yet though. |

Enjoy the ride, when you're able to of course. |
