£199 for an ancient mixte that's been plastered with yellow and black paint and doesn't even have a chain.

Blimey! That was once a nice frame though. The wheels are the only things that might be salvageable now. That's what happens when you leave a steel bike in the garden for years I suppose. Shame.

That’ll buff out. Or you could do a sympathetic restore and leave the ‘patina’ as it is.

The saddle bag is a work of art.

Does anyone know the closing date for the Turner prize?

Nothing a bit of wire wool and a tube of autosol wouldn't sort out.

I think underneath its a Catalina with Capella lugs, maybe an all chromed one BITD

Could well be right - one of the forks (side against the hedge/wall when stored😊 ?) looks to be all chrome, same as rear stays.
Whatever it is, bloody shame.

Yours for a measly £120. Looks like a canal find.

I think I might have a key to that lock if anybody buys the bike.......

One previous owner from new Would take very little to get riding again Very dusty

To be fair, the seller does call it a Push Bike - which is probably all you'll be doing if you buy it
