In Leeds, a 1970's? Campag-equipped unknown bike for £85 B.I.N.

Any suggestions on make?

That bizarre mix has appeared on retrobike e-bay lists...... It's a Raleigh frame with an eclectic mix !

Buy it for the campag bits and pieces

I was referring to the cheap raleigh

That's a "Baines Birdcage" ...........they were rare back when one of the mechanics I worked with had one.

Perhaps £990 is realistic then.

Wildly Optimistic unless someone in the CTC has a hankering to live the old days.............they were seen as a "touring frame" and derided by anybody who wanted to get from A to B with any speed.

Dave Yates mixte 531st 21". Not in brilliant condition, but frame looks OK. Probably mid '80s (27" wheels). Currently £89 with only 5 hours to go

Now for some strange reason this one just grabs me, shame I am overbiked at the moment.

Nice Hercules but plenty of bidding going on. Typical of Lincolnshire lots of vintage bikes on eBay. Lots still in use. No lock scratches as no one uses one.

I often keep an eye out for one of the old chainrings they used to do with "Hercules" stamped on them. Would make a good wall ornament. So far no luck.

 

[brand]

Very nice. Lovely bit of advertising.

My Hercules seems to have been assembled with a Rambler chain ring, it's a 1938 frame, so wondering if it was assembled in ww2 when parts may have been scarce and factories were being used for other things.
