Ebay and auction watch: let us know if you see something

A Kings The Light Blue 853-frame with vintage components in Cambridge - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335676329311 Currently under £40 with a poor title and poor main photo. I'm guessing it'll go quite cheaply as most won't work out what it is.

Very nice and I could be tempted if it stays cheap (sell on the old stuff and put a modern SRAM groupset?), but does nobody bother putting even basic info such as sizing, etc on listings these days?

Unfortunately, AI generated item descriptions aren't sufficiently intelligent to mention size, components etc.
Instead we're treated to this gobbledegook:
"This vintage steel road bike is perfect for any cycling enthusiast looking for a unique ride. The light blue brand adds a pop of colour to the classic design, while the sturdy steel material ensures durability on any terrain. Ideal for those who enjoy road cycling, this bike is designed for speed and performance. With its sleek silhouette and reliable components, it is sure to impress. Whether you're a seasoned rider or just starting out, this vintage road bike is a must-have for any cycling collection."

Basically, the seller can't be bothered. Hope it goes for a low price, and to someone on here!

Just for info there's been a little addition by the seller - says the bike fits him at 6'1".

He has got the saddle quite a way up though. Looks like a 22 or 23" frame to me.

Agreed. I love AI-generated descriptions because there's a greater change the listing will be ignored by most, meaning less people bid Even better when the title is awful and/or mis-spelt as well.

From the Kings website it'll be a 56cm or 59cm frameset.

Not buying. Firstly, it's in Cambridge. Secondly, I'm way too short. I'd only be buying to sell it on.

I'm not too short and Cambridge is just an hour up the road...

(Keeping an eye on it but really shouldn't)
