Shame about the seized seat post

A very nice, if a bit on the pricey side, 1970's Dawes Galaxy. 58cm 531 frame.
It looks like the wheels have been changed to700c.

I agree very nice . Not £500 + nice though.

1950s Mercian Vigorelli Vincitore with wooden sprint rims, barely used tubs and what looks like a new Brooks Professional saddle.
Currently £4.20 - can't see it making less than about £500!

Bit weird, that one. It's slack-angled and the clearances are huge. More like a road/path frameset. Will probably look more normal on road 27" wheels.

Pump pegs on a track bike are what struck me.

A good price just a bit further along the A45

I suspect it was used for time trials rather than track racing. If so I don't think it would have had those wheels fitted. The pump pegs give it away (I've never seen a bike on the track carrying a pump!)

Nice time warp Corsa. The nuts with the C on them are worth the selling price. Immichrome decals and what looks like a Campag Valentino or Huret Svelto mech puts it at the early 70's maybe.

I see the front light is missing, the matching one to the rear fell off about every 20 yards lol

I reckon that would clean up ok as well

An almost complete Raleigh Superbe with a £35 starting bid. It's been sold by the Birmingham Bike Foundry which makes me wonder why they don't renovate it. Perhaps they think rod brakes aren't up to modern standards?
