I am a bit suprised by that. Why isn’t it shifting Too small? Too dirty? Too Peugeot?

not really sure , sales are hard and slow at mo

Not just me then. I've sold all mine, bought 2 last week, but second-hand bike sales are definately slower.

Parts sales on the other hand are daft via eBay.

I was tempted to get this for Nonowt Jr but ended jup getting a more child specific bike. Not sure I made the right choice as this 45cm Omega w/ 631 tubing and Campag gear would look great with a refresh:

Saw an old but functional Giant Ladoga at the tip today. Worth a punt? They probably want 10 or 15 for it.

That's lovely! It's probably just as well I don't live anywhere near, don't have anywhere to store another bike, and can't really afford to shell out £300+ for another one right now anyway

Maybe not strictly vintage or classic, but the recycling centre in Witchford (http://witchford.revivemarketplace.com/) has this up for grabs:

They're asking £120 for it.

.In Irvine, North Ayrshire, for £80 looks great.

Falcon looks overpriced considering if you weld anything broken off to the frame it's going to ruin the paintwork. Should be priced as faulty & not as a tidy machine. Seller clearly knows there's no money in putting it right and selling himself, so hopes someone else will pay tidy money for a bike that will then need repairs & paintwork!

Looks a bit over priced to me but perhaps with a bit of diy the guide could be repaired without welding ie a bolt on clamp?
