In that superb condition, I honestly think it's well worth the asking price.

If it's the right size and is good in the flesh as in the picture then i would be all over that
Me, probably. Although I'm interested
lol
oh, I love that! Late '40s/ early 50s according to my google translation of this page, which says that Radior went bust in 1955. Beware though: if you look closely the hubs, crank, rims, etc. have all been painted silver (with Hammerite?).
That's a difficult one. I'd say it is priced too high based on current market prices (which are terrible for sellers!). Probably something similar could be had for around £100-150 if your willing to keep searching and waiting. But it looks to be in great condition and it has a full 105 groupset and I wouldn't feel ripped off paying closer to the asking price. To put it another way: is it worth £245 if you're going to keep and ride it? Yes. Would you get your money back should you sell it on? probably not. Try £180 or risk it not selling and being relisted at a lower price?
Not a Rudge but a very nice 70's Evans in Sussex. £100 start.
Also in Sussex: there looks to be a quality '50s frame under the Hammerite. GB 531 stem, Brooks B17 and GB brakes are worth more than the £35 start.
Not cheap but really quite special and probably quite rare: Saxon twin-tube tandem.

I might message him and ask to have a look at it on Saturday.
The Pearson? It does look nice.
In other news: the Evans seems to have dropped to £50 start and is now open to offers. ..I just noticed it's got one of those unusual 5-speed Sturmey Archer rear hub with the double pull chains.

That Pearson is great value for money.

Nice old bike here. Looks like a Raleigh badge on the head tube. Makes me wonder why the seller doesn't put the front wheel back on, considering it has a quick release hub. Maybe a non-mechanical, non-cyclist inherited it in its present (not too bad) condition?

These have been around for ages but 4 bikes for £100? Is there something wrong with them?

I went to this shop in Canterbury and its someone who sells bikes for a charity but no one is ever there and the answer phone never gets answered, the barber shop next door said he hasn't seen the bloke for ages so I gave up, even the charity shop has no idea whats going on?
Very odd?

I'd be all over that Pike if it was smaller.
