Last unknown has the braze ons for a nice CX bike.
Dawes hammer price £55, Orbit £60, Raleigh £40, all with at least 25% commission.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!

Buyer of the Orbit now has a bit of a project to bring it back to its former glory - anyone on here?
