OMG indeed, that has to be the worst paint job I have seen in my entire life, and they are trying to sell it !!

Erm .. I bought worse: https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/w...finished-its-gone-from-blue-to-orange.240031/

Cost me all of £4.

Then the restoration costs, which have been significantly more.

Nice Bob Jackson and the Raleigh looks like it might be a Lenton.

Not particularly vintage but a question for all you buyers/sellers.
This

has been on ebay, this exact ad, for at least 2 years. Is he just an overpriced (and very persistent) optimist, or is this some sort of scam, in your humble opinions?

An optimist. Looking at it, even with Campag components, it'll need work so would be £100-150

He'd be better off breaking it, then.

He's got a spare bike kicking around, and he doesn't desperately need either the space or the money, so he's just trying his luck to see if any mug punters will bite. I've been watching a similar pair of overpriced bikes for months and months; a flat-bar Dawes and a shabby drop bar Raleigh. The Dawes was up for £225, now massively reduced to £223, and the Raleigh has been stubbornly stuck at £200 all year! Neither of them is realistically worth more than about £50-60 on a good day, in the current old steel market.

Any chance of pictures, please ?

At least third time round for this Gary Fisher...

Perhaps his friend I**1 (26) will bid a bit earlier in the listing this time I certainly won't be bothering.

An old Carlton in need of some love

and

A mis-spellt Legnano. The seller should be grateful for algorithms!

This Williams 531 touring bike in West Yorkshire (about a mile from me) looks very nice although may be a shop badge on a different manufacturer's frame. £45 start: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-...g-Dura-Ace-Cinelli-FIR-EL20-700C/283555384664

I saw that but didn't think much of it. Any good?
