Ended at £32 which I think is a good price did you @DCLane ?

Seemed very cheap for a 1950's bike @biggs682. But then the market's collapsed currently. I didn't bid as my only purpose would have been as parts.

I do have a heads-up on a 1950's 23" Ellis Briggs fixed-gear bike that someone's getting to pass on ...

Ooh that sounds good 🤔

@biggs682 - that's a child's 18" wheel Kingpin, rather than the adult one.

Your one looks smart

I'm inclined to think the other one is a normal sized KP. I suspect they did the same as Raleigh, ie raiding the parts bins and having various iterations over the years. Raleigh did a smaller version of their Shopper called a 'Denim', but not aware Dawes did the same. Happy to be corrected.

Had a reply tyres are 500 x 37 so if I remember rightly that's one of 20" sizes ?

Sunday morning finds

A Grantham 531 Raleigh and I can't remember what model it is

A nice genuine Falcon in Diss

The Raleigh is the one way, above the cadet and its name evades me too

It’s kitted out with Victory, go back a few years and that is what you would pay for the friction shifters only !! .

I'm wrong then. It's the larger 440 20" wheel rather than the smaller 406 20" or 18".

Given mine sold for just £30 it may be a tad over-priced?

It looks like a standard 20” Kingpin - the 18”er didn’t have the frame brace at the bottom bracket.

Claud Butler looks like an old bilaminate frame with the tangs in the dropouts still intact. Top job in its a day

Still looks good to me

I just wonder how easy that slammed seat post will move or not

Thats a beautyful frame, like the shot in seat stays and forgot about that type bottom bracket bearings. Could make a great bike maybe with 700 wheels and long drop brakes? Not sure about the forks looking at the Ebay pictures they look like steel? Would make a really brilliant bike if they are, if alloy maybe better to replace as seem to remember an issue with them?
