If you were to sell it @biggs682 ,I wouldn't bother with eBay.
I would look to actual bike magazines,to attract a buyer who would truly appreciate what it is.
Be a shame if you did sell it,can I just say.

@OskarTennisChampion i normally run a fleet of between 12 - 15 bikes of which there is a hard core of 5 or so proven keepers , the rest are a mixture of ones for sale , awaiting preparation and undergoing testing / evaluation miles .

The testing / evaluation normally lasts 100 + miles where i make a decision on to keep or add to the for sale selection

so as you can see its not a simple process

It is a beauty though.

So you are a man that can get things then ?
I will keep that in mind

Wow! Lovely.

I have serious bike envy of you @biggs682!

Tyres have arrived

those horrible foam sleeves

Horrible they may be but I find them wonderfully comfy (as long as it doesn't rain!)

So if you were to keep it, how do you decide which one of your little inner circle to sell?

thats where it gets awkward @mikeymustard there is a hard core 3 bikes which i wont sell others have to fight for the right based on frame size being useable or spot on

i have just sold one of my Ian Mays only because it was a bit to small but was being kept on rarity value alone , just means i got to find another one in the right size area

A bit of tinkering tonight and the new continental tour rides are fitted, upon removal of old inner tubes this stuff came out, some form of puncture proof liner ?

 

[OskarTennisChampion]

Excellent.
Did they have better ideas back in the day perhaps ?

Had time on my lunch commute to stop and take this picture complete with new tyres.

Bit more tinkering tonight and we know have lights,selle smp saddle and both Garmin mounts fitted

 

[OskarTennisChampion]

It's looking good @biggs682
Can I ask ?
Is the Selle saddle more streamlined ?
