£140 for something that'd have been £20 a year ago: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-...condition-Frame-number-NB8056014/363095347658

Seller also has a Shimano Exage groupset for £150 - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shimano-Exage-300-EX-groupset-in-excellent-condition/363095340420 and a couple of 531-framed bikes at £350 and £450

Somebody has put a Weinmann coaster brake wheelset into a Halfords commuter bike frame. The £110 asking price seems reasonable but the words 'turd' and 'polish' come to mind.

I believe that bike is illegal anyway, it has no front brake.

I think it's a 'work in progress', the add mentions that the bike needs a 'headset'.

£86,000-odd gets you, erm, a fancily painted Colnago here 😄

Nice to know it has the same saddle as my humble Raleigh.

Now, that is ridiculously optimistic...

Never mind added a zero - I'd say £25 tops, and £20 of that is for the saddle. Do you think its actually gangsters money laundering or just not got a clue

£400 for a 'restored' Raleigh 3-speed. No mudguards, a mismatched chainguard, rust spots on the wheels and the wrong gear shifter. What's not to like?

The same bike is now down to £130. The COVID boom is over!
