What about a photo of the said badge (ie head tube) and a few images of the lug work?

I checked the badge it’s just a sticker haha I got it for less than £50 and I reckon the old boy I bought it from was ripped off, I had it in Halfords getting the handlebars changed over and they said it a really old Peugeot it’s pretty much all original plus I’ve got the smaller mudguards for the summer months

Sorry about that Johnny. I had a supposed O’Brien which I bought here, in fact it was a Dawes, but still a nice bike. At least you didn’t pat too much.

Yeah I’m pleased with it it’s a great ride obviously not as good as a bianchi but the gears are more personal and you can tweek them as you ride

To be honest I’d never heard of Rory O’Brien so I don’t feel I’ve lost out

This is the lug work

how much do you think my bike is worth

 

[Cycleops]

As much as someone is prepared to pay. Let's say fifty quid would be top money.

Fancy the guy in Halfords being able to recognise a repainted and (Rory O'Brien) 'decalled' Peugeot.
Google some RO'B images to admire and contrast his lug work.
