To be fair the starting bid is only a fiver. I'd pay that for it if I was nearer :smile:

I just had to find the blurb for it.

And found:

Project ready to happen.


When you collect I can direct you to a bike shop just close by that has all the parts needed to get it rideable for £47.


Also a pub opposite to get a bite to eat.

I'm not going anywhere near that pub.
A pint of your finest ale, and a wire brush please.

I've seen them go for far less, and the APB is a bit of a risky buy - the rear frame can crack due to poor design. They fixed that with the TSR, but that has a weak pivot...Moulton rarely get it right first time (also see cracking series 1 F-frame trailing arms).

£205! Docked frames, especially cut so close to the seat tube, are structurally very weak. There is not much stopping the seat tube bending backwards under the rider's weight. The rack struts aren't just there to support luggage.
