Finally figured out where this is. That is the Railway Hotel, Windsor in the background, correct? That bike would fit in around Windsor.

Perfect for trips to the 'done clinic in St Mary's lol

Windsor, Melbourne!

Bike looks semi-reasonable (for it's age) but the spiel being attributed to the bike by the owner is a hoot and worth sharing.

Found this crap on Ebay lol!




For sale is this awesome Machete Visp Road Racing Bike in super-stylish red & white high quality Aluminium Frame.

This machine is as stunning as the photographs suggest with Visp Switzerland Ultimate Sport Deep Section Rims and high quality Shimano components.

The item is new and has undergone Professional Set-Up at a cost of over £100.00 & is now ready to ride away. Upgraded Shimano PD-M520 Clip-in pedals are included in the Sale at the advertised price.

The latest Disc Brake technology has been invested in the manufacture of this machine and the new Owner will not be disappointed as it looks fabulous! As with all machines with disc brakes there is a slight binding until the newness of the Pads & Rotors has worn off following a short period of use.

Hand-made-in-Taiwan Frame in a medium 53 cm so suited to a Cyclist in the height range of 5 feet 6" to 5 feet 9"

N.b; Important Additional Information, READ ON...

There are 2 other B.I.N listings on ebay for The Machete Visp Road Bike from China-Based Sellers @ £570.00 & £575.00 but Buyer Beware! :¬/

1) Both look irresistible however the photo you'll see is a stock photo of the product that has undergone Professional Assembly whereas the item you'll receive is a box containing a frame and many individual components that will require Professional assembly by a Professional Cycle Mechanic. With parts etc, this Essential Service by an Independent, Professional Cycle Mechanic will cost you at least another £125.00 (I know too well...)

2) After you've waited 8 weeks for it's arrival, You, as Buyer, will also be liable for £100.00 of Import Based Charges on the Consignment as China is not an E.U Country so you'll be snookered on at least those 2 counts... Click one of those aforementioned buy it now's and that Impulse Buy of £575.00 based on a nice photo will eventually cost you £900.00 plus...

£449.99 or make me a good offer!

F*** me.
The Machete Visp could also be a candidate in the coolest paintjob ever thread. +1

I reckon the hub is an interesting design actually. "If it fits" - WOW! +1

[Powerful Pete]

lrdunc I like it, but the stem's a bit too low for my liking.

And those hubs... methinks someone has come up with a novel way to do things wheel-wise.

[lrdunc]

In fairness, I believe the guy said something about a pretty significant back injury, hence the crazy stem height...

But still...
