Shameless self-plug of two bikes I've listed:

1970's Dawes Galaxy Tour: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163632265728

2002 Olmo Rigel: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163632260305

Well no one else has passed comment but I like both of your offerings DC most especially the Italian machine, however although I am of the same height as you, my 5' 9" is made up with a long body and very short 29" legs !!

1930's Raleigh Golden Arrow for £100 start in Cumnock (thinks: where the heck is 'Cumnock'? ): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1930s-Raleigh-Golden-Arrow/254194410055

I think this'll go cheap as it's collection and in the back end of nowhere south of Glasgow.

@biggs682 - want a path racer? This is a 'path racer'. And if it was closer I'd be bidding.

Interesting looking bike but alien to my eyes which are used to seeing the front wheel and the down tube separated by not much more than a "fag paper".

1970s Raleigh Superbe. Located near Manchester, England. Nothing to do with me.

I know nothing about Kalkhoff but it Looks decent enough and might be a hidden gem. Make a low offer and see if he bites?

Aw, man - that's almost worth driving from Bournemouth to Scotland for! And none of your usual n+1 encouragement please!! I've already acquired 5 bikes and 2 frames in the last couple of months... I need to stop!

The hole in the rear dropout behind the axle is typical of a Forged Simplex dropout, usually used on reasonable frames so not a clunker
