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

In my mind I thought it was race, mind you I am dredging up memories from 40 odd years ago. Lol

Nice 1977 Gauthier road bike in Coventry (looks like a quality frame): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174339240136?ul_noapp=true

Lovely frame - intriguing as to who the frame builder was.

I did a bit more research and De Ver Cycles are still trading and the website seems to indicate that the early frames were built by the original shop owner and pro rider Peter Versleydonck.

The De Ver has now dropped to a £114 start!

Just a shame about the location

It’s just up the road from me and I pass the De Ver shop on my commute. I’m currently telling myself that I don’t need another bike, I’m thinning out my garage, and that it looks bigger than 22 1/2 inches anyway. Still tempted...

And the seller has just confirmed to me it’s a 60 cm frame.

Local seller and what I believe to be a Raleigh Competition

You sound like a chap who knows his Raleigh Competition! <insert buttering-up smiley>

Do you know what spec that frame would be? Tubing, drop-out spacing, clearances?? Age? (the pic I saw was pretty hopeless - I can ask for more of course, but information is power etc!)

Thanks x

Maybe this should be in the giraffe thread: a gorgeous Nishiki frame - (check the lugs, seat stay caps, down tube lever band stop & fork crown) urgently in need of a new downtube at least. It has nice Shimano kit too.

Ironically the 'LIFE TIME GUARANTEE FRAME & FORK' decal cuts right through the severed down tube. ... but it's a nice indicator of how good Japanese frames were, are, can be...

Morning Reynolds 531 tubing , I would guess normally 126 rr spacing and early 80's .

Normally in a nice shade of blue with a red tint . Might be tight for guard clearance .
