Nice one for the lady in your life https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/...bike.-good-condition-working-order/1319217402

A couple near me:

A 531-framed Fred James near Hull for £125 start: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fred-James-Racing-Track-Bike/273538243228

A 12 speed Wilson (?) frame ? 531 in Sheffield for £100 start: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wilson-12-Speed-Bike/173617297730

 

[nonowt]

Early 1950's with modern paintwork and components.

I think it I might be older looks more 1930s in construction. Weird that it's got 80s cinelli bars and stem. Also kind of oddly cheap for all the work and parts that have gone into it ( the hubs must be worth more than the asking price).

 

[nonowt]

Not cheap but a very fair deal. A tidy 21" Richmond tourer with a load of extras in Wetherby, £195ono:

Almost criminal!

Almost criminal!

Wasn't that Raleigh's absolute top of the range tourer, roughly equivalent to a Super Galaxy? Someone got a bargain there!

Not far away either

I think those two are gorgeous, especially the Grubb.

That was a nice one... and it went for £186. A good price I think.

Batavus Course Professional from about 1984 - short time left - £13.20 in Yorkshire: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Classic-Batavus-course-Road-Racing-Bike/232991683011

Batavus Course Professional from about 1984

That went for only £26 in the end, an absolute bargain. What's going on with old steel prices? How low can they go?
I've just seen a useable early 90's Pioneer go for a tenner. Only a basic hi-tensile 18-23 6-speed version, but perfectly adequate as a utility runabout all the same.

I'm convinced it's the time of year together with caution about spending. As parts it'd be worth far more. I was tempted but I don't like stripping usable bikes.
