It's very nice but in today's market it's hard to say. If it was a nailed on keeper then 200+ but if not I'd be worried about reselling it.

5 mins to go and £155
I agree i have a limit in my mind which i will stick to
A few years ago i reckon that would be a 4 - 500 pound bike

Like that Moulton, Galli gold brakes, drilled chain and TT style single ring. Pics are terrible but looks like a track rear dropout with hanger. My sort of era lol

It's a nice looking bike shame the seller won't let me view it for what ever reason

Looks like a nice bike but that would make me suspicious tbh. Strange that he has a Buy it Now price but started the auction way lower at £100, which doesn't meet his reserve. Reserve prices annoy me. Why not start the auction at, or just under, the reserve price? So much simpler.

More suspicious now. There HAS to be something wrong with it I think, to make the buyer pull out.

Odd that a track bike has the brake on the back wheel instead of the usual front. The tubular tyres are shot (all three), no bar tape and one toeclip is missing from the right side pedal - but I can't see anything wrong with the frame. Love the gentle curve of the forks!

Looks rather expensive to my eyes for something with only one gear, one brake and ratty cosmetics.. Not exactly what you'd call fully loaded is it? I appreciate it's minimalist & simple for a reason, but I don't see any justification why a SS/fixed gear bike with bugger all components on the frame apart from wheels and cranks, should be considered more valuable than something with a full range of gearing. Less should mean less, not less is more!

Yes indeed, he has an interesting bike blog that’s worth a look.
