Interesting eBay / Gumtree bikes

[stevenaaus]

Yes, i know there's an ebay forum for steelies, but i thought to make one for more modern and/or generally interesting bikes-for-sale. Stuck at home... good time for checking them out

[stevenaaus]

I love my 2005 TCR C0. What a climbing bike. It put Giant on the map alright, but a little swervy coming down the big hills, especially braking.
Till today i'd never seen one of these before - a simliarly constructed TCR branded Trinity.
Checking out the web seems they were only made for one year, 2006 ?

Does someone care to outbid me on this women's AIS bike ? Coolum pickup.
If not, it might get a couple of more rides before going to the dismantlers

That's cheap for what it is. Worth grabbing for the parts alone..

This one struck me as unnusual:



For the cyclist who has everything, perhaps?

If you listen carefully you can hear the horsemen of the cycling apocalypse clearing their throats

That trundler is in good nick alright.

Well, the Teschner is mine. I've never even ridden a good quality steel roadie before. Hope it's not too super large, and i'll have to tape over the "Diva" signage I wonder if those 105 wheels are keepers ???


And I just noticed this super bling track bike.

That first generation of Trinity was built for four years (through to '09). It evolved from the aluminium-framed TCR Aero which had been built for the preceding four years or so, hence the early ones, maybe the '07 models as well, bearing the TCR tag.

What about aluminium?

Yeah... sorry. My first road bike was an alluxx sora defy. It was pretty good but a little bendy once i started to get some more strength i think. And i've done up and resold a couple. But i've never had an older alloy/steel bike before that might get the steelies' drooling.

That Teschner Diva looks like it has carbon seat stays ?? So i guess i'm disqualified from calling it a steelie.

[AUbicycles]

That carbon Teschner track bike appears to have a super short wheelbase... or is that normal?

[Duck!]

That's quite a substantial cutaway in the seat tube, so it will be a pretty short bike, plus it looks like the rear wheel is pretty close to the front of the dropouts, so that will shorten it too.

If that's too big, then I hope you're very short! Plus what they said about aluminium. Have had a few alum/carbon bikes (Giant, Cell, EMC and no-name bikes) they've always been good to ride.

There seems to have been a rise in prices as people go looking for something above basic level bkes to exercise on.

I think that P!N20's point was that your Diva is not a steel bike, it's aluminium. It might be a nice Al alloy (could have some scandium), but it's definitely an aluminium alloy rather than an alloy steel.

[stevenaaus]

OK.. Cheers.

> If that's too big, then I hope you're very short

Il be able to ride it, but as far as keeping a bike goes, I feel more comfortable on 50cm medium-small.

This is more my size. Dedacciai

Anyone know about Pinarello Veneto?
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Pinarello-V ... 3150!AU!-1

My google-fu is not good enough to find much information on this cro-mo bicycle.

[P!N20]

Anyone know about Pinarello Veneto?

What do you need to know? A few years back Pinarello had a few retro inspired models in their line-up. Intended for 'urban' use at exorbitant prices - at least that one doesn't have a garish paint job.

Of course, the original Venetos from the 90's are highly desirable (in my world, at least.)

I was looking for owners' experience with this bike as well as chainring/cassette range.

How much was it back then?

Can't find any info, but the drivetrain looks like modern ratios - 50/34 up front, 11/32 out back? I'm just guessing though.

Not sure how much it was when it came out, but you don't see many around.

Very much along the lines of what P!N20 has already stated, but I'd be asking the seller how long they've had this in stock. My understanding was that the Veneto was discontinued after the 2015 model year, which makes this example possibly at least 5-6 years old. I'd also be asking how this affects any warranty. I could be out re the year discontinued, and P!N20 would have a much better idea I believe.

To me though, this makes a $1900 price tag a bit optimistic. I have no doubt it would be a nice bike and lovely ride, just not sure it's worth $1900 in 2020, although I seem to recall a roughly $3k RRP in 2014/2015 (?).

[familyguy]

That's not a 90's Veneto, it's one of the new ones. Overpriced.

This, however:

Doubt it, but sounds about right. The earliest I can find are from about 2012.
