a few oldies here.

Interesting looking '50's project with a badly painted over chrome frame, Nervex pro lugs, only clues to the maker are a small "Bond & Son, Central Cycle Works, Street. Somerset" decal and the frame number 12491. £9.99 start:

the Kingston looks 60s but research suggests it's probably early '70's also that Kingston's were made by Mike Compton of Rotrax fame:

A couple for today

https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/vintage-ellis-briggs/1321809121 which is fairly local to me but i just don't need a bike with a seized seat post

Interesting pair of bikes. The Ellis Briggs is even closer to me but I'm not tempted either. Unusual bars on that one though. I don't think I'd be happy riding it without a back brake if it has a freewheel - having front brake only is a bit dicy if you have to stop quickly.

I like the marbled blue paintwork on the Rory O'Brien but its quite chipped. Is the front brake caliper there? Its a job to tell from the first photo. It seems to have come adrift anyway.

A very nice looking Raleigh at a good price - but its way too big for me and its in Northumberland!

And another... a Dawes

Buy it now for £15! Needs a new spoke in the back wheel but the parts alone make this worth a punt. Its in Shrewsbury.
