56cm lugged Fangio frameset (Heny/ Poperinge decal) with Campagnolo dropouts: buy it now for £45 in Newton Abbot: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fangio-S...510310?hash=item2f4a8235a6:g:dZ4AAOSwt8NfWMHY

This looks interesting - a mystery 58cm frameset with lovely seat stay wrap over & top eye decoration, chain stay and brake bridges and lugs. I don't recognise what it is, but the top eye motif reminded of Major Nichols - I could be well wrong.

Currently £5.00 in Bath: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unknown-...691852?hash=item5db43a824c:g:2O8AAOSwAnhfagjy

A 21.5"/ 55cm Mercian 531C frameset with work to do to restore: currently £10 in Cambridge: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143767087052?ul_noapp=true

I think the stuck (& decapitated) seatpost is a major consideration

Another Mercian project - rather less risky? Currently £100 with less than two days to go.

Agreed, and posted with that in mind: too much hassle for me - but some might want to give it a try to salvage a quality frame.

Bloody shame that Geoffrey Butler is so far away, it's a peach.

The David Lloyd would be perfect for @Reynard it's a lovely little thing.

Oh, that's *LOVELY*

Alas, just that little bit too big I think. My roadie is a 38cm compact frame with 650c wheels - I can stand astride that, but no hope in hell of doing the same with the extra 5cm on the seat tube *and* the horizontal top tube...

Am gutted, as it's red as well. Did I mention that I have five bikes, all of them mostly red?

Not sure about this https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/colnago-art-retro-racing-bike/1386269176 @teddb7 any thoughts ?

23" Orbit Gold Medal 531C with Stronglight chainset & Pelissier hubs, converted to a flat bar set up. Currently around £70 in Gloucester: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-...393232?hash=item1cf437f910:g:3b8AAOSwNGNfceC~

I've been chatting to the seller on this one. Seems genuine enough and a nice bike. 531C is a good start but Orbit is not a name I am familiar with. If the price stays sensible I may have a punt.

Andy Thompson moved to Orbit in the 80's I think, if its one of his then its certainly not shabby lol
