There are some bargains for sure at the moment
retro-mod'd 60cm Fanini in Northampton. Probably the most boring looking Italian bike you'll ever see (if it is a Fanini) but still looks like it could be a decent everyday ride for it's current £10.
Potential commuter/beater. £5 start for this unbadged mid-70s number in Stoke. I'd be surprised if it wasn't built with 531. Looks to be a decent, if generic, frame under the yellow respray.
This is more like it - a lovely mid 70s 21" Meazzo with suitably Italian Campag Nouvo Record gears, Balilla brakes and a heavy dose of 3TTT. £150 start, Ely.
Finally (despite the Holdsworth era decals) this looks like a referb'd 40s? Maclean. There's K starting frame number on the rear dropouts which, if I've read Classic Lightweights correctly, puts it at 1946/7. 23" frame, currently £10, in Newcastle but will post.

The Mezzo looks nice for sure
And the Maclean is nice for sure

That Fanini is only at £10.50 at the moment, with no reserve. I think the seller will be very disappointed if it doesn't go a lot higher, considering his Gumtree asking price!

A Nigel Dean in Sheffield for £45 start; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-And-Rare-Nigel-Dean-Racing-Bike/202647785123
And an unknown frame (1950's ?) in West Yorkshire for £20 start: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sports-vintage-Mans-road-bike/273797073546
Note that the seatpost bolt is painted over. Given it's been owned for 60 years the seatpost may not move!

Don't know how I missed that. I've been keeping my eye on this thread as I'm hunting for a 21" vintage path/track frame to restore.
