Nice and ideal for commuting or touring that one and looks about a 22" frame the lot before it looks ok as well

I wonder what it will go for ?

Any idea @Poacher what it ended up going for?

Neither it nor the Dawes Tanami reached their reserve price.
Judging by the estimates, this would have been £30 for the Orbit and £45 for the Dawes.
The Orbit was in poor condition - the back wheel couldn't complete a revolution - and some of the components were lower quality than you would expect. Still surprising that there were no bidders willing to shell out enough to buy it. Maybe it will be in the next sale on 7th Jan?

I'm a happy bunny though, as I bought an immaculate Seiko watch for £37.20. Looked like it had scarcely been worn since it was bought in June 2013, and running like a good 'un. Didn't win a potential Xmas gift for Mrs Poacher of a Chocolat Menier advertising sign. Maybe for the best, as it was 100cm by 79cm, and we'd have struggled to find somewhere to display it!

Thanks @Poacher it is surprising that neither sold

Well done with your purchase 100 x 79 is big so perhaps for the best

Surprised this did not make its reserve as it looks a damn good frame and the Orbit I once had handled very nicely.

Good morning

At first glance this pair at £30 BIN Gloucester

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185704417325 look like ignoring but the pink Puch is at least 531 tubes and forks, it may be stays as well.

The other one, well, lovely day isn't it.

Bye

Ian

It could be a nice Puch but alas it's companion might not be so nice as you say @IanSmithCSE

Good evening,

Shame on you, you are not thinking hard enough.

Original pink Benotto tape, l'erocia ready, that's £20 already.

Bye

As expected, the Dawes and Orbit are catalogued for the next sale on 7th Jan. There's also a Raleigh 501 (Elan?).

Examine the photos of the Orbit carefully if you're thinking of bidding; there's substantial rust around the bottom bracket, extending up the down tube, under the paint on the seat tube as far up as the derailleur mount and on the chainstays, particularly the left one.
Probably not a write-off, but quite a lot of work involved. That said, it's probably worth up to mid-estimate for the components alone, but I won't be taking it on!
