more of a boomerang than a banana then

I wonder why though? There doesn't seem anything much wrong with it. Is it not worth £50?

Edit: On closer inspection it does seem a tad rustier than this one... but its a lot cheaper

Yeah, I suppose in today's market it wouldn't take long to find a better one for the same money

Shabby steel is hard to shift. I've recently been thinking of replacing the wheels on my Dawes Jaguar as they are a little bit scruffy TBH, and detract from what is otherwise a nice bike. A cheapo set of new 700c wheels is about £60 minimum, then I spotted a tatty Reynolds 500 Dawes road bike with pretty tidy looking wheels & tyres, so I bought it - for £19. Thinking of mating the scruffy Jaguar wheels with the shabby Reynolds 500 frame and leaving it at work as a stripped-down single speed.

A nice tidy Falcon down in Bournemouth, possibly a tad pricey, but worth a cheeky bid.

Someone had a result with the Wearwell, it only went for a Tenner! Bargain!

Paging @DCLane: 20" Orbit America in Huddersfield £40 start. Bad pictures but got to be worth it fof the Shimano 105 groupset alone. Looks barely ridden.
