Okay 1250 is a lot, but these old Ti Bianchis are rare, the kit is good and it may be worth a low-ball bid.....oh wait a second... photo 17...

picture three - is that tape on the chain stay just holding the cable in place

It does look a bit bashed up. There is a large ish dent on the crossbar to go with the other dodgy bits.

Good spot, It looks like it is covering a load of rust which would be odd if it were Ti as claimed, but less odd if the label saying it is Deda Zero tubing is correct

£149 for an incomplete Humber requiring restoration. You'd be lucky to get that if it was fully restored.

£650 for an unknown 3-speed requiring restoration. Another price with the decimal point in the wrong place.

Even then...
I suppose the saddle would be collectable in its own right?

£575 for 'an older brother to Brompton bikes'. I honestly don't know what planet they are on.

They also don’t understand what retro means

I know some old MTB's are valuable, but I don't think this one is: £200 for an old Pug MTB - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Vin...-26-wheels-Tour-De-France-model-/303809764775

A Raleigh Chopper with drop bars, a snapped pedal, burst seat, and in need of renovation. £1600. Another dreamer, surely?

Gives me hopes for the Carlton I have in the Requires-a-Fettle rack.
I'll take a Lotus elise as a trade-in.

£150 for a '61-year-old' 3-speed requiring restoration. The decals were replaced in the 1980s though!

Hard to believe but the Chopper GT Sprint was a thing, cut down seat and all.

Harder to believe is that this very bike sold three times on eBay in November, now that is odd
