Hey I just bought one on ebay the other week. I paid a bit more than £40 for it though and Parcel Farce broke the rear doolallyer. Here's
mine.

Yours has a longer rear mudguard. I think they've put them on the wrong wheels on the other one.

Thanks, yes, I think maybe that mudguard has been chopped due to damage. Mine still has the original stem shifters and safety brake levers. That picture is from the ebay advert. When I received it those tyres had been replaced with a brand new pair of para walls too.

I paid £100 including delivery for mine, which I thought was pretty fair given the condition. I haven't ridden it yet as I've yet to fix that doolallyer (malapropism intended).

Manchester mystery has really long lugs, Mercian used them along with long lugs to the bottom bracket. Not sure what it is though...

It's intriguing

(Having nothing much else to do) I've just been through all the decals on H. Loyd's site and I can't find anything resembling that head badge. Part of that appears to be a shield, half white and half red. Do they make bikes in Poland maybe?

I guess so ?
Seller says he doesn't know what make it is either

Good afternoon,

A few years ago I bought some decals for a Ribble, they came with two of these.



These are not the correct head tube ones, at the time Ribble just used their name vertically without any images but these look better and I knew what I was getting and was happy.

More importantly the same image with different name and address is offered for a number of frame makers, so the red and white shield and black frame on a yellow background may be generic stickers added after a respray.

Edit 2/Feb - Major Nichols https://majornichols.co.uk/ is mentioned a few posts further down



Bye

Ian

p.s. that Falcon looks like a bit of a bargain nowadays, especially considering the condition of the label on the chainset, although the Maxxis front tyre is a new name to me, checking on Wiggle they are at least a little bit special!

Not a ladies bike, grrr...

Lovely Daccordi frameset in Columbus SLX. Paint & chrome probably need some attention. Currently £75 in Warrington: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393909330839?hash=item5bb6d36397:g:6g4AAOSwx7Fh-Zy-

Interesting bike here: confused decals showing Major Nichols (considered to be one of the finest UK frame builders*) & a Steve Thornhill head badge. Looks to be a quality 531C frameset with Nervex lugs & nice details - rear brake bridge, rear derailleur cable braze-on. Campagnolo, Pelissier etc... Someone who knows more will be able to tell if it's a genuine Major Nichols.
Currently £66 in Birmingham: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203809546782?
