I really need to find something more interesting to do than trawl ebay…

1983/4 Raleigh Comp with the Suntour gears switched for Campag:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Raleigh-...195264?hash=item363cf92680:g:5b8AAOSwkfFbtLVo

this 50's/60's Oscar Egg in Chelmsford should clean up nicely (same seller has some other nice French bikes):

What's the gear changer on the top tube? I may have a use for one like that....

I was wondering that - looks like "Eco L" or something.

I do like the look of that bike - but I'm going to make a big effort to not notice it's not very far from me!

it's a catchily named Sturmey Archer 3-speed quadrant, precursor to the much loved thumb shifter. It's probably worth half the asking price of the bike and if that is a Major Taylor stem that's would be worth more than the asking price. (obviously you'd have to start swapping parts to release that value..)

Very odd, quite a modern ish frame with under bb cables and a brazed chain hanger.... Reminds me of tandems that dismantle
