Title: Early bird catches the flights!
Post by: gregster on December 23, 2005, 09:10 AM: Got up early this morning to bid on some flights on ebay.com and to my astonishment I won!
Can't actually belive it as I've been trying to buy some for months now but as most of you
know they attract a lot of interest (mainly from peeps on here, I guess) and fetch a lot of money.

Anyway, I got these for $140!!! Single pinch 175's with good chrome, polished chainring and NOS
Shimano pedals which I hink are SX. Even with shipping it's a bargain.

Hope I haven't tempted fate now but I'm chuffed. One step nearer completing my first build.

Have a good xmas radders. :santa_afro:

Post by: billstup on December 25, 2005, 12:55 PM: Yeah thats right Greg, I was going to bid on a few sets but they went too high towards the end, and God only knows why pkradman needs any more sets of flights :crazy2:
