If you are here, it is probably because you collect bikes and parts or intend to. If, like me, you don't have unrestricted storage space and a soundproofed workshop, it can mean trouble with the neighbours. Like they complain that your bikes are spoiling the view from their upstairs window, or they don't like you making hammering noises until way past midnight. Personally, I have REAL trouble with my neighbours, to the extent that I may have to move into stamp collecting rather than bikes. I've uploaded some jpegs illustrating this problem to http://membres.lycos.fr/partspeekers/ then you have to click the bottom left link called "Neighbour trouble". If you are interested, that is.

Another point: someone wrote in about ebay France. To an extent he's right, but I generally tend to avoid internet deals these days, I've had my fingers badly burnt with gear never turning up, not being what it was shown as, being NOSSED (the monkeys who wirewool anything not terminally rusty and fob it as NOS, first time you take it out you get NOS rust everywhere...). There are some blinding deals to be made (few and far between), but there are a lot of ruthless and unscrupulous people out there looking for a fast buck, plus the totally ignorant who just copy whatever is written in succesful "past sales" and sell on what they think is the real thing...so my advice would be: stick with the better known dealers. That's just opinion, you do what you want, of course. By the way, anybody tried ebay Lituania ?
