Ebay and auction watch: let us know if you see something

[DCLane]

@DCLane looks like a nice project , chainset looks nice

That was my thinking. It's not my usual type of bike but the Raleigh Team is just annoying me with little things that keep adding work to the rebuild project. It may end up on sale as a result and me buying something completely different.

Bloody ipad!

The forks look very Humber. Does the price include the plough?

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

A 1957 Freddie Grubb (no other pics), which unfortunately seems to be from just after they downgraded them: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nkilgariff/FreddieGrubb.htm

25" Raleigh Banana sold away for just £50, strewth!!

I'd've been somewhat p'd off had it've been mind (but then if the fella had given me a straight answer what he wanted for it when I asked, I might've given a bit more than that)

It was second choice to a Pug for which I paid a little more, which was itself damn good value as there was a time not so long ago when even tatty 25"-ers were going for a lot more than that

A Banana has just gone for £175. Why do they fetch so much?

I have no clue. A Raleigh Team, like mine when I bought it, not when I'd finished, sold for £176 on Friday: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-r...leigh-colours-21-700c-10sp-used-/380715945414

It almost makes me think "sell it".
