BOBCFL: 1980's Mercian Crack Pipe

and now for something with a little bit more baking soda in it:

ok, i'll make a guess as to what's happening right here.
a (19-25) male human got this bike from a bike church, parents, or found it.
he googled 'mercian' and was like 'oh shit money!'
went about 'fixing it up' with new parts that he ordered online.
didn't realize what he was getting into ordering new parts.
spent way too much.
road it around and was like 'blegh'
now trying to sell the bike for much more than it's worth.

seriously, $400 is what you would get if this was in perfect, original condition.  i'm sure you'd spend that much buying those parts from performance or whatever, but it still doesn't make it worth it.

those bullhorns are stupid.

BOBCFL: XL Pedersen Commuter

I see these pop up time to time on the bobish list but have yet to see one in real life outside of a museum.  these wacky bike always pop up on the left coast for decent prices (because most times they are equipped with baller shit).  this bike has a pretty sweet setup with an 8 speed dura ace drivetrain to phil hubs, with full racks and a nice seat.  $1600 sounds a little high to me but what do i know?

Just awestruck and wanted to share.... view the rest over at their blog

BOBCFL: 1980's Guerciotti

i don't know what to think... i love hate the paint, it's probably pretty crappy.  the components (suntour and campagnolo) are probably worth it... but if i had to guess i'd say those are 27" wheels...  hopefully the price is because of it's size and some short little luckball will walk away with a good deal!

BOBCFL: 1994 Bridgestone RB-1

here's a real RB-1, one that's been raced.  it's smaller, and it seems to carry a story of love that changes hands... so there's that.

but NOS drivetrain, good paint, and low owners make it an awesome bike.  prices seem to be the highest ever this year, so i guess it's on par for the current market.  bike bubble?

BOBCFL: Makino Track Frameset

here's a beaut out of TX.  I don't know much about makinos, but this guy sure does have a great bike!  doesn't look like it's been ridden too hard, but i don't know if that a fair price either...  still purdy enough to grab all his pics!

dude put his phone number on the ad so i'ma just c&p his text instead.
