The blue Vitesse i picked up this arvo about 3 doors from my place. I
love the smell of hard-rubbish-collection in the morning!

Its 56cm both ways but with the shortest (50-5mm?) stem i have ever
seen. Its got damn 27.1/4 wheels but is in great condition. just needs
new tubes/maybe-tyres and retrueing of wheels (i'd rebuild em with new
spokes preferably). Got wayload clearace for guards, etc

Im tempted to build it into a winter-pig commuter SS

Might see if 'uncle' Peter Moore can sort them wheels out or get it
runnin with 700c's somehow.

The yello one is an old Hillman MTB frame i picked up years ago.
Was a 'Sherpa' model from late 80's apparently...
48cm seattube, 60cm toptube. WAY too long for me.
Has truckloads of clearance for panniers etc
Built to last a royal commission. Has a newish BB and Headset
eyelets for everything and horizontal dropouts so would make a perfect
fixie/SS candidate so if anyone wants it (i might keep the cranks and
FD tho...)
lemme know and for the price of... what else? Beer!

Someone chucked out the blue one? Doesn't look too bad, though the back
wheel looks out of true even from the side! Is that bottle cage attached
with blue electrical tape??? Seems like an excellent candidate for a
****ter, that has the interesting conversation piece in that it has the
world's shortest stem.

The yellow one looks like a 4:3 picture squashed into 16:9
