As I say, I'm fairly new to this restoration lark; I've only ever come across Legnano road bikes therefore I'm a bit out of my depth on a 5-speed townie so your guess is as good as mine!
Our LBS at uni sells through bikes of this type quite well so the demand is still there (surprisingly). Depending on how the auction goes, I might take a punt myself. New academic year at the end of September = plenty of freshers
.EDIT: Beaten to it by nonowt; thanks for the pointers mate
- good to know.

What was probably once a decent touring frame, apparently powder coated without bothering to remove or mask the rear canti adjuster or headset, converted to single speed, with just a front brake, and I can't imagine it's been ridden with the saddle at that angle. Apart from that, what's not to like?
Oh, chain's a bit slack. Currently at 99p with no bids. Here.
Rather more attractive, a 54cm BSB400 frame and forks, currently 99p, reserve not met. Here.

I'm sure if you ask nicely (once you get there and find nothing left) you might get your BFH

"Great fun on old railway lines and on flatfish ground."
Looks brill, but with just 7 gears I'd need a turbot-charger.
Wish I could have flounder plaice for it, but since you're a sole trader I'll let you have first dabs.
I'll get me coat.

Tidy, but unfortunately the listing's description is for the wrong bike. Nice find, though

Anyone fancy a 531 1945 Hobbs of Barbican?

Very smart looking full chrome Scapin SLX frameset, 53 cm.
Same seller has a Mercian 753 frameset, 22.5", red with sky blue panels and barber's pole, plus many other interesting lots such as NOS Galli front & rear derailleurs and brakes.
Edit: the Galli RD appears to be this one on disraeligears, dating from c. 1984.
