If anybody in the Birmingham area is interested then BiclasB12 have half a dozen 3-speeds outside for £30 each. Most of them are step-throughs but one looks like a men's Raleigh Superbe. It's got locking forks, a full chaincase, etc. I didn't have my reading glasses with me so I couldn't see what year was on the dynohub. It originally had a pulley gear cable but this has been replaced with a modern one. It will need a good clean and service before it's used.

Ribble 653 road bike, £200, Brighton.
Never quite sure how I feel about Ribble as a brand, however this looks like a decent buy given the spec..

Stop it!
Just noticed the minimal clearance between the rear tyre and frame; looks like it's intended to be a proper racer. I wonder what the geometry is like...
Bet that would be very nice with a modern 105 groupset on it; although the rear axle spacing probably (thankfully) isn't conducive to easy fitment.
Don't recognise the brand of the first one, however it looks like a steal for £30 - if that was local I'd probably snap it up..
The last two look like they've had a hard life, although 'bent potentially a cheap way of trying that format if you're prepared to put the work in.

Holdsworth "Triath Elan", £60, Daventry.
I know nowt about these but it seems like a decent bike for the money, on the face of it.

Probably made by Donahue, who also made for a host of other NW England shops, good basic frames with no fancy “signature” details, and all the better for it.
