Looks like it had some sort of locking system? Otherwise what are the two little keys for?

Looks like a bar that locks across the wheel - I'd probably forget it was on and bust a plastic spoke!

It seems odd that they don't have any pics, considering they are trying to attract bids over the internet. Who bids on something they can't see? And who takes the time and trouble to contact the auctioneer for photos when there are so many other bikes around?

Looks like some sort of old Raleigh. And no-one's bidding.

It looks to be in a second-hand goods store from their other items. They were asking £200 on a FB sales site
However, at a minimum it needs new tyres and saddle before anything else is considered.

£50-80? They'll have to pay me more than that to take it off their hands
...Pretty sure there's one of those at the NCC as part of the 'History of the Bicycle' display. Looks just as awful in person. Who knows, though? Might've been a dream to ride
EDIT:
Went for the £20, after all. Bet the seller's a bit gutted no FB mug bit on the £200

If anyone is looking for a tandem to start out with this LeJeune for just three hundred notes might fit the bill. Says it's 1982 but looks earlier to me.

That scab looks a bit worrying, but a nice and well kitted out bike

I have the same model as this, but in red. The Huret Alvit rear mech is mid to late 60’s, so that’s a better guide to the age.
