A nice ladies Carlton here https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/vintage-carlton-ladies-bike/1345692159

Very nice - looks 50s going by the 531 decal and Simplex rear mech.

That ladies Carlton is in Bedford so if anyone wants to buy it I'm happy to pick it up for them.

Somebody knows their road bikes at that auction house, judging by the estimate for the Road Ace .

BTW, Andy over at BikeItUK featured a time warp Road Ace. Unbelievable someone would get a 531c bike and not ride it/hang it up for 30 years :

I especially like the start price of £27.90 ....eccentric or what ?

That third vendor (the H E Green) has a few other tasty offerings, inluding a Major Nichols and a Hetchins.

That's quite a selection of quality old names

Bargain, as long as it includes the hen. The price of organic eggs these days, she'd pay off the cost sharpish !

Any of our smaller users (like I can talk - I'm 5'8" ) interested in a tidy 20" Gitane frame with Columbus tubing? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223585822268?_trksid=p2471758.m4703


OMG. The paintwork. Poor bike : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-...273923939096?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10


A cheap old Vindec Club 50. Nothing special but a quick spruce and it could be someone's sturdy runaround: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Racing-Bike-/183803356889?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10


A fiver start and the hub looks virtually new. Otherwise a fair bit of work: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/terrain-...492105?hash=item2f33add0c9:g:ONAAAOSwXoZdJk2s


An old Puch Calypso in need of some TLC: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/vintage-...492101?hash=item2f33add0c5:g:BUQAAOSwd7RdJlOs

I wonder if the seller is aiming for a certain minimum figure net of fees?
Bought a Raleigh that was priced @ £25.20 for some strange reason. I couldn't be arsed messing about with loose change on the doorstep so I sent them PayPal - whereas if it had been a round £25.00 I'd have given them cash and they'd have saved the fees and got more money net. There's some odd sellers around for sure. What goes through their minds is anyone's guess!

OMG indeed, that has to be the worst paint job I have seen in my entire life, and they are trying to sell it !!

Yep, I'm struggling to recall worse. The only way that'd be viable is if you have contacts who can shot-blast/powder coat at mates rates. Shame, really - you can just about make out the lugwork.

Other users with better knowledge than mine might be able to identify the make/model but as it is, they've decided to cover the seattube/headtube stickers with pictures of ... trains (???) .


Seller has other items of interest, though: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Cycling/7294/m.html?item=273923939096&_ssn=ssbb10&_sac=1
