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 had a bid on this, but was outbid at the last minute (I was out on the Carlton and got delayed talking to a neighbour). Went for £97 in the end, which I think is still a bit cheap for what it was.

Nice 22" Bob Jackson Super Tourist in Leeds (at £107 just now - but 25 bids): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Bob-Jackson-Touring-cycle-LEroica/303707155839?_trkparms=aid=1110006&algo=HOMESPLICE.SIM&ao=1&asc=20131231084308&meid=e82eaa960a034cdf85f16f8f6f776efa&pid=100010&rk=3&rkt=12&mehot=pp&sd=114444074691&itm=303707155839&pmt=0&noa=1&pg=2047675&algv=DefaultOrganic&brand=Bob+Jackson&_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109

Went for £207, which is about half what similar ones go for (I have a thing for Bob Jacksons). No obvious reason why as condition and spec were fine. Perhaps the monster headlight on the front rack put people off. Perhaps I should have had a pop at this one, but it was a long way away and I'm not ready for a divorce yet.

Possible, but blurry photo.

Surely a Colnago should be draped in campagnolo

Nice Ellis-Briggs frame got no takers at £150 so seller has relisted at £160.

Nice bike. Its up to £200 now and I'm not surprised.

A nice looking Carlton Grand Prix in Colchester. Probably nothing special, but nice and clean

A 531-framed Ellis Briggs, part Shimano 600, for £99 start in Batley, West Yorks: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ellis-Briggs-Vintage-Road-Bike-/124376976748

That looks very nice. Mountain gearing, too. Granny gear looks like a 1:1.

Woodrups, Ellis Briggs, Bob Jackson - all objects of my teenage lusts, and good to see them still around and being enjoyed.

Another example of inflation - no one wanted it at £85, so re listed at £185
