The "How much?" or "You're havin' a giraffe!" thread

[Arjimlad]

Hope it is OK to ask for some pricing advice. This bike is my Mum's and she used it very regularly when I was little. She has had it for 61 years and she wasn't the first owner.

It's in good working order. I did a full strip & re-build a few years ago in the hope she would ride it to the shops or whatever, but that didn't happen and it has just sat in the dry garage. We need to move it on now, and I'm wondering what to price it at to get interest and get it sold.

@Arjimlad - it's not worth much I'm afraid, particularly in the current very depressed market. It's probably £15-20 at most.

Many thanks David. Thought that might be the case. If only I had room to keep it!

Such a shame, don't you know anyone you could pass it on to ?

@Arjimlad that would be my suggestion as well

I can't think of anyone, my sister & I don't have the space for it.

Sadly a local bike recycling charity probably wouldn't want it either.

It is a lovely looking traditional sort of bike in good condition

Bristol has an eclectic cycling scene, someone will want a bike like this.

It's a single-speed and Bristol has some very steep hills!

Indeed, but it is an extremely low gear!
