I used to know Barry Whitcomb in the 80s quite well, and his partner Joyce who was a friend from teenage years, 50 or so years ago.

You might find this youtube clip interesting ...

Now if he had added "Eroica" to the listing of this... it would have made perfect sense:-). A little slice of France

Woodrup in Huddersfield, currently £77: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Woodrup-Racing-bike/224008244822

Ended at £127

 

[Specialeyes]

Mk1 Brompton for £3,500, which is £2k less than the last one that came up went for... so I guess that's a bargain.
I wouldn't trust myself to buy it anyway - I'd not be able to resist the urge to do it up and trash the collector's originality in the process

Is this one worth the money in these days of inflated prices for all things bicycle? I'm looking for a vintage tourer that I can tinker with and modernise over time. It needs to be big too as I'm 6'5 with a 35 inside leg.

Did you see this 26" late 70s Roberts/Phoenix in Cambridge? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233591230093

That's a big un for sure and very nice with it

Yep, I would've been keeping quiet about it but it's not different enough from my Condor to justify the cellar space.

Another big one: this BROKEN Swallow in Cardiff has some decent parts on it (but needs a new seat tube to rescue the frame). Ends today
