Ebay and auction watch: let us know if you see something

[Poacher]

I'm taking a punt on that, it's actually owned by the guy who reviewed it for the CTC back in the 90s and he bought it as he liked it so much. Will certainly be an upgrade to my Reynolds 500 frame.

£188 seems reasonable - are you celebrating?

Well that Grupetto went for a LOT more than I'd expected

Certainly a bit more than I was expecting from the bids at the time, but it seems reasonable for what's present. As you've probably seen the frames are/were c. £900 new and the Dura Ace bits have to be worth a reasonable wedge - there's a complete DA 50th anniversary groupset on one of the euro ebay incarnations for about 600 Euros IIRC and those wheels can't be ten a penny - a set of apparently similar ones went for £300 here..

Excellent work - glad it's gone to someone on here. Looks like a really nice practical bike for not a silly amount of money. Let us know how you get on

Unfortunately I didn't actually win, I was right untill the end, i cannot really afford to splash too much at the moment.

I'll keep looking for a nice frame.b

That was a good buy for someone, just a bit too far for me with current fuel prices etc etc

That's why I had to set my limit lower than I would have liked.

Sorry to hear that - tbh with the cost of fuel currently I'm certainly only considering things that are pretty local.. good luck finding an alternative

Good morning

A complete bike, 753 Raleigh in the Birmingham area, currently at around £250

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155109341687?hash=item241d3cb9f7:g:O1MAAOSweUFi79sr

Or not? The seat stay caps would suggest that it is genuine.

Another sad 753 currently at £70, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155109106451?hash=item241d392313:g:5-EAAOSwHt5i74EO
