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

A bargain, I'm sure - Unusual crank, what is it?

Rotor RCK, started a `how does this come off' thread if you wish to know more.

Classic.

Think it's same frame?
Steel tig welded prob 4130 / 525?

Yes I think your correct. The horribly dirty wheels have come apart to show nice bearings.

Very nice. I may need a stem later, depending on what happens with this stuck one !

Nice looking bike. Am I right it thinking that's just too young to be Eroica eligible?

Dave Yates bike - top quality frame building - in Reynolds 631 with a Campagnolo triple. Excellent condition & currently £1.75: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286643185562?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m164380.l178263&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=ba00c051f0654a61824e0e49b309058b&bu=43605948081&ut=RU&exe=0&ext=0&osub=-1~1&crd=20250612013342&segname=11021&recoId=286643185562&recoPos=1

I have some doubts about this bike's provenance. I contacted the seller (via the ebay message function) and explained how to measure the frame size - no problem there and he thanked me. Reading more into the description he states 'there is no kick stand'. There may be valid reasons, but being unaware of how to measure frame size and even suggesting a bike of this quality would have a kick stand indicates it isn't his bike. I've since sent a question asking if he had the bike made for himself by Dave, and what is the OLN dimension at the rear. As expected, I've not had a reply.

Anyone with a Campagnolo Nuevo Record groupset and wanting lower gears, this is a pretty hard to find start, chain wheels are available down to 35 teeth.
