Thank you, I imagine it is horrible gas pipe, but at 14 quid I have just paid for it unseen. Any advice happily accepted. It is described as 70s but I assume mid 80s?
Anyone know anything else?
Edit - is it a Dawes Milk Race?

I'm by no means certain, but it looks as if there may be a Reynolds sticker near the top of the down tube. Can't add anything else, but at £14 you can't really go wrong can you?!

Bit late to post it, but interesting nevertheless.
Mate of mine collects WWII militaria. Last week he spotted a genuine WWII parabike on ebay. It was either mis-described, or the seller didn't know what he had, as it was just sold as a folding bicycle.
Chatting to him earlier today he won it for £45 odd quid, and has just flipped it for a grand...

I finally got to a PC so I can link a picture and also see what I bought on a screen bigger than a mobile phone.
It looks a bit tattier than I though - ahh well. Something good to practice on with the spanners and hammers. Worse case - another fixed gear - it could even be 120 OLN spacing?

Yes, definitely a Milk Race: Reynolds 500 I think, in fact pretty similar to that other bike I pointed you at, except much cheaper - and on your doorstep - well done!

Turbo? Is that one of those newfangled, modern things?

Backup plan if it proves to be ropey. I will find out in a few hours, I am picking it up from his side passage.

This looks really rather nice and an absolute steal at the price. I'm half tempted to buy it just for the saddle!

Interesting, I like the stem. What's going on with the shifters then?
