'Tis a nice bike, it might not be vintage as such, but it looks like a nice bike anyway:

just come back from looking at this local e bay item http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=281131289572&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123 as its only 5 mins away .

i am quite happy to say its a lugless frame , with a collar type seat clamp , 27" wheels with what look to be wiennman alloy rims unsure of rear hub but fr is a Maillard item . unable to verify its age but has a frame number stamped on underside of bottom bracket . no id as at some point its been hand painted !

also to be listed same seller showed me another similar styled frame that was complete with a Claud Butler head badge , seller openly said it had a stuck seat post in there again hand painted , again i think 27" wheels fr hub was a large flanged Airlite whilst rear was another Maillard , both were only running 5 gears and needed complete overhauls before use .

i thought about offering on both but too much work required for prices asked IMHO .

Might be able to help with collection but dont presume ask me first

The seller does seem to suffer from verbal pomposity. 'Tis a nice bike though.

I quite like the look of this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-C...d=100005&prg=7784&rk=3&rkt=5&sd=161067869143&

I am trying to work out if the seller means Northampton as he says North Hamptons which I can't find on a UK map. I have messaged the seller to ask.

Go for it! Nice lugwork. If you check the description it says NN29 Northampton. You'll have to get your skates on though.

@Cycleops & @compo yes bikes are just down the road from me in Wellingborough . I went over mon pm to look at them all , got some real nice bikes especially the Claud and the Alves but could not find frame numbers !

all being sold due to the owner having a heart attack/stroke , and i thought it was wrong to sell his great collection of bikes without him being aware due to his medical condition

Fantastic! The guy sounds like a real nutter, in the nicest possible way.

This is in Huddersfield, near me: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/old-vintage-bike-/310723064393

ID - unknown but may be a Humber according to the description, with a Brooks B66 saddle.

Start price £30 and closes tomorrow:

Any ideas on make/model/year? That's before I spend £30

@DCLane looks like a nice project , chainset looks nice
