Ebay and auction watch: let us know if you see something

Looks very original

It does, but I can’t seem to find anything about the model, and the seller is not very helpful

The rear hub should be dated but i would say 80's , expect it to be heavy but it should ride well just watch those steel rims in the wet , slap a pr of 27" or 700 alloys on it and it will be transformed

Not come across one of these before; a Williams of Cheltenham - 531 frameset for £95 start. I think it's one of my club-mates selling: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Touring-...m-Reynolds-351-Tubing-57cm-frame/293241462527

I have a Williams of Cheltenham bell on my KP. They’re still in business.

@CarlP could have a whole matching bike here, to attach the bell to ;-)

If it was close to me i would buy it, looks great and would be a pleasure to own for very little outlay.

I’m rather drawn to this Raleigh Esquire. What do you think of it?

Looks very original

Wheels look to be in decent condition too, which is often the bane of old steel-rimmed roadsters that have been stored somewhere damp for the last 30 years! Plus it's a Raleigh. Definitely worth a punt, especially say a £40 cheeky offer. Sometimes those sort of listings will auto-accept a near offer instantly.

Looks very good for the money. Nice colour too.

I think the mystery bike has sold?

Yes it looks very nice. What a shame it is when all the decals disappear from these old bikes! I suppose somebody will be able to identify it though (maybe the buyer knows?). Lugs like that weren't usually on cheap bikes were they?
