This early 60's factory built mystery has to be worth the asking price just for the Wrights Swallow style saddle.

This Rory O'Brien is now £60!

I don't live that far from Crystal Palace so I'm going to have to check this out. Very suspicious that it's been on sale in London for a couple of weeks and gone from £100 to £60. Normally a bike like this would be sold in a couple of hours.

A nice Falcon in Newcastle, Tange tubing and a lot of Shimano 600 Arabesque. £99 starting bid.

Spoke to the bloke this morning and he said someone is coming to look at it this lunchtime. I can't get over until this evening so he'll let me know if it doesn't sell. I see it's now on for £50. Surely it'll go for that. He must be desperate to get rid before Christmas. Shame, as I've been on the lookout for a Rory O'Brien for a while. My late father was born and grew up in Manor Park and the Romford area, and was an enthusiastic club cyclist around Essex. I like to think that he might have ridden a Rory O'Brien at some point.

fingers crossed you never know

Got it for £50. Will try and get some photos up over Christmas. Reynolds 531 frame needs a bit of tlc, but everything seems to be working (except one brake lever broken). Wolber Super Champion rims and Miche hubs. Shimano Exage 300ex rear derailleur and Shinano 600 cranks and groupset. Bloke showed me the advert where he got it from, so no reason to suspect it’s not a genuine Rory O’Brien. Will need to investigate further. Thanks for the tip off.

been watching that and must admit tempted

cant work out what type of 531 it is though

 

[biggs682]

[QUOTE 5092264, member: 43827"]If it was a bit smaller I'd go for it.

I'm on the lookout for a nice old 531 f/f to build up and may be picking up a tatty but nice 60s Harry Hall this week.[/QUOTE]

What size do you want ?
