Nope... Duncan, don't do that... whack em on ebay and describe em as such (Van Nics) and make at least a week listing... I'd expect some (potentially) master frame builder to get in touch hopefully...pistonbroke wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 4:50 pmI often give my bikes a damn good thrashing with twigs or baler twine, keeps them in line and eager to obey my every command.

Btw does anyone have suggested uses for 2 cracked Van Nic Ti frames? Thinking of turning them into wind chimes as they're useless as bikes.
Moots himself contacted me when I had one of them... (actually, no, Moots contacted me for my Independent Fab). When I was selling a crappy Cervelo that had rear end crash damage, one of the famous-ish UK frame steel builders contacted me and ended up buying at a decent price (over £70 IIRC) as we was keen to start adding carbon to his resume and wanted to fiddle about with summat decent.
FWIW I dont think Cervelo is decent at all and nor is DeRosa for that matter (sorry for bringing crappy road bikes into the equation)...
Yup, fleabay but a few months apart let us know
