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

[DCLane]

Picked up the Woodrup, Trek and a load of other items thrown in today. @Spiderweb & @Jameshow - you should have bid



And they belonged to a well-known rider and athlete called Rodney Tordoff, with the Woodrup raced in the UK and Australia.

That's how bad sales are in the whole

Agreed. This Ridley Liz, which is basically a re-badged Fenix, with Tiagra 10 speed went for just £103.

Two great buys!
Out of interest what size is the Trek?

 

[DCLane]

@Spiderweb - I've measured and it's a 54cm frame.

I'm not clued-up on BSA's, but the gold brake levers/brakes look interesting. £35 start price in Barnsley: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204751203669

Let us know how it rides, any better than a common Raleigh 531 bike?!

Does a Paul Hewitt ride better than a genesis?

Or a Mercian than a British eagle?

Always wondered....

I've a 1982 Raleigh Team, badged as a Guerciotti, which has been put back to original recently. I'll do a comparison once the work's been done on the newly-arrived Woodrup.

Sometimes I think a hand built frame does but I do think a lot of the time it's in the mind

Nothing special tbh. Chainset looks naff and the saddle likewise no tubing stickers??

Yeah, suicide brakes imply low-end and forks look similar to my Routier. I'd guess it's a generic, badge-engineered low-end Raleigh frame.

Probably not a terrible bike but nowt to be coveted, nor worth much more if any than the starting bid.
