No matter how low one gets one's head and how high one's bum, nothing will ever beat a really pointy head.Wow, I've never heard of Pongo Braithwaite before, but he seems to have made some nice looking bikes..............
Here is another one of his bikes, my back hurts just looking at the photo.................

It is really nice but l question myself why would l want this bike in favour of that bike ? And in the end it comes down to can l ride it rain or shine without worrying if l might be messing it up in some way. If l had paid €1000 plus for an old bike l probably wouldn't ride it in shoot conditions and maybe l would be very cautious in even ideal conditions and l would find that hard to do. That said it is still tugs at the heart stringsI don't necessarily go ape over Raleighs (sorry Raleigh Nut) but, in this case, I'll make an exception. The US based seller has a number of quite tasty bikes listed and this is cheap by comparison with some of them.

Means you can see what it's worth, and not sell it, I guess. But I share your frustration.I really don't understand this reserve thing on ebay, why not start the auction at the minimum you would accept, whats the advantage of a reserve

I remember reading about the psychology of reserve prices somewhere, but I can't remember where. Where someone might not bid at all if they know there's a starting price of, say, £100 for something, if they can start off cheaper and build up to it without knowing what the reserve is, that same person will often get caught up in the bidding and end up bidding more than the £100.I really don't understand this reserve thing on ebay, why not start the auction at the minimum you would accept, whats the advantage of a reserve
