Came with the shed....

[lozcs]

Builder friend of mine took down a shed for a customer to build a summer house.

With a few repairs and a lock of paint the shed came up lovely. It was given free but ha to take two neglected bikes with it.

I would love to do something with these but realistically haven't got the time and need the space in the shed for other things.

Would prefer someone have and do something with then otherwise I'm taking to the tip?

One is a 'Carlton Corsair' the other a 'Kalkhoff Comtesse'

Collection from WR9

Anyone?

I think the Corsair has a 531 frame, which makes it worth a few quid. Too big for me, but please don't skip it - there's only a finite number of those left in the world

 

[lozcs]

Yup...

@lozcs if you are ok to hold on to Corsair for a couple of weeks as coming across to Kidderminster on the 27th for a family wedding i would love it please please

 

[lozcs]

If it's not a deal for him then may I be next in line please? ... accepting the terms (I had a Corsair and foolishly sold it a couple of years ago) No problem to arrange prompt collection.

The Kalkoff would suit one of my neighbours who is getting on a bit and decided he needs a step-through frame to to ride back and forth to the farm where he still works.

Thanks

Ah - he's not I'm afraid - the Carlton is my primary desire to replace the one I sold - I don't want to appear greedy, but it's both or nothing.

Thanks

Look like they're yours!

Let me know when's good to collect - no mad rush....

 

[robgul]

Two "projects" - collected this evening - thanks.

I'll be giving the Carlton a good clean and transplanting the wheels and running gear from a fixed that I've been running.

The Kalkhoff needs a bit more work, and a hunt round for some wheels to fit to the excellent frame.

[lozcs]

Nice to meet you - enjoy the bikes!

Busy (very busy) so unlikely to get round to the Carlton until mid-August ... but will post pix on my website. Wheels already sourced for the Kalkhoff, that's being renovated by a friend before passing to the ultimate user.
