531 framed BSA roadster from the 1940s with SA 3-speed (dyno) hub & Miller lamps. Seems to be original paint too: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15727109...2&segname=11021&recoId=157271092699&recoPos=2

I wonder what it is underneath the flat bar conversion from drops ?

After my time but is it a randomneur ?

Looks identical to my '92 Royal.

As biggs alludes, the only difference between the two (frame-wise) judging by the catalogue was that the Randonneur had braze-ons for spare spokes.

I’ve got two bikes which probably class as vintage & classic, I don’t really know what to do with them.

The first is my 58cm Trek 5200 (1993), which at the time was the lightest production frame set in the world. I’ve unfortunately managed to break the seatpin and find myself not being able to get the old seatpin out. It may be a salvageable project for someone, but that someone ain’t me. I’ve taken most of the components off. The frame is otherwise in fair condition - a few scratches and scuffs but it has never been crashed. Would anyone pay me anything for this if I listed it on eBay?

The second is my Argos TT bike. It was state of the art in 1985, double-butted Ishiwata 017 tubes and some nice lugwork. It’s morphed over the years. It’s got a single 55T chainring and the bars are clip on Syntace C2. It’s had these Specialized/HED tri-spoke wheels since I got it in the late 90s - they have got a few dings in the braking surface. I haven’t ridden it for ten years, and for eight years before that! There are spots of rust in some places on the frame. The seatpin isn’t stuck! There’s got to be a steel aficionado out there who would want this?

What does the collective reckon? Opinions or, even better, offers welcome! (If you are keen, I’m based in Uttoxeter/Derby).

@Legs those are a pair of glorious looking bikes and that Argos certainly gets my juices stirred....

What are you thinking £ wise ?

Shame it's just a little too big for me.

I like the cable routing - not very ‘aero’!

I think they’ll be given the care they deserve there!
