What kind of derailleur is that?! Looks like a Sturmey Archer hub thingy.
Old cyclo Benelux gears?

Yes, you don't see many old cyclo Benelux gears nowadays, so it's worth looking closely at them........Aha, yes, answered just as I was asking the question.
Lovely!I love the 80's paint job and full chrome rear end on this. 130mm rear spacing so could add a modern group set to this and have a really nice unique bike for not a lot. Its on £1 at the moment. Too small for me thankfully or I'd be too tempted to resist this.

Somewhere in Hertfordshire is this slightly scruffy mid-70s 23 1/2" Shorter - ends tonight (currently £19.99):

A typo could make this fade-tastic 23" Rourke a bargain (Congleton) :

yeah, squinting at it again it could have mudguard eyes too. It must be reasonable quality though, as the wrap-over seat stay looks nicely done. I could be tempted to bid just for the saddle and 3ttt stem.The Shorter has a lot of clearance so not one of their top end frames, if it is a Shorter.
Mind you that Rourke looks smart even if it's a bit modern for my era. Well spotted on the typo

I found the Rourke with a favourite trick: search fist names . Brian, Dave, Geoffrey, George and Jim can bring up all sort of hidden gems.
