Has any one else noticed how cheap older groupsets are going for no Ebay? Seen some ultegra 9 speed groupsets go for very little one went for under £50 a 6500, then even seen a 10 speed Ultegra think it was a 6600 go for £104, yet at the same time second hand STIs seem to go for as much as the compleat groupsets ? Some times prices seem very cheap and now seems to be a good time to buy up on groupsets?

Lol, Hope not as i am stock building for future projects, Know what else seems to go (some times) very reasonable are almost new wheels, bought a pair of WH-Rs330 Shimano wheels with tyres and tubes only about 300 miles on them for £89 including delivery,plus a set of new Shimano WH-r550 for £80 and that included delivery also from Ebay, there are some great deals at present.

A bit battered but £20 start for a big Carlton Cyclone in South Yorkshire: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Carlton-...Retro-Vintage-Leroica-No-reserve/174084923301

 

[BalkanExpress]

@DCLane the ad does say “Eroica”: the seller may be hoping it goes for a fair bit more than 20

Having said that, it does have a triple and lots of teeth at the back , so it is a lot more Eroica ready than most

 

[SkipdiverJohn]

Sellers can hope for what they want, but what they actually get is another matter.... The location and scruffy condition suggests to me it isn't going to fetch top dollar, especially into November! Personally I'm a bit wary of listings that are liberally sprinkled with the words "retro" "vintage", and "Eroica" anyway - which tends to reduce the chance of picking up a genuine bike at a bargain price. The less cycling buzzwords used and the more vague the description, the better in my book. Poor photos are a bonus.

But it's got a leather saddle !

Maybe it has, but it has also still got no bids.....

 

[Kempstonian]

Another £20 start Carlton in Cardiff (model unknown - Corsa maybe?). Looks like it needs some work but possibly a good buy if the price doesn't go up much.

[Kempstonian]

An Ernie Clements Falcon in Leeds - £32 with one bid so far. Too big for me but it looks reasonable. Large flange front wheel, Weinmann centre pull brakes & Huret 5 speed gears.

@Kempstonian if you want a Clements how about this one and a lot closer https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-...979394?hash=item1a7bf7aec2:g:5cEAAOSwiKxc2rrf

I looked at that one the other day. Its not bad but I really want one with nicer lugs. Call me fussy...

(Also want one that needs a bit of work, or even rebuilding. If my one was smaller I'd rebuild that.)
