As a matter of fact l already have a Vitus Seven

 

[woodbutcher]

I really love my Seven not least because of the St Etienne coat of arms which is where the Vitus factory was situated and where the shop that sold the bike originally still is ... Cycles R. Férappy and their imprint is on the chain stays .

There is something odd about this frame, l just noticed that the cable guides are on the head tube whereas they would normally be in the usual place on the down tube . I wonder if it was a special order. Bearing in mind the frame is from about 1990-5 ?

This is the one to make money on if the price doesn't go through the roof....but l fear that it will
Build it up a la Greg Lemond spec. and name your price !!

Well if a dodgy photo on a mobile is to be believed, you can have Greg's bike for €1300. However, you will still need to but then you need to find a rear mech!

Or this may be more your size, although it's a fair old trip to collect it.

This is very different, a Raleigh Boulder Trike converted by Longstaff, currently £30 with 5 hours remaining.
Can anyone explain the two front brakes! Never seen that before.
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/383101920351

Edit - I’m curiously tempted to bid on this, it about 15 miles away too!
I occasionally see the odd three wheeler, always makes me smile.

It’s to stay legal I think. The law for bikes stipulates two brakes. For a fixed wheel that includes the capability to stop using the pedals as well as a single brake.

I had a boulder just like that (except it had two wheels)

Not bidding, but I know this one. It had a large box on the back.
