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

Not your usual fare?!!

Ah, but I do have an identical Raleigh Pioneer I bought back in 2014 which is used occasionally. It's just a bit battered now, probably due to my usage of it for bad weather journeys. Mine has only the frame, stem, bars and seatpost that are still original:

Not that I've got any space currently, having picked up the Cannondale TT bike last week, so it'd have live in my re-acquired storage space for a while.

4130 model?

I think they would make a ace tourer....

@Jameshow - they probably would. The 14-speed steel-framed Pioneer went for a massive £7 (lot 66).

Cro mo 4130 is similar to 525 I think?

The better Pioneer was later and sold at £18. I decided not to bid - not sure if anyone else did?

An Avid Swifty e-mtb which needed work was £40 (lot 122A), 'Peddle assistance' L'Avenir bike for £20 (lot 175) and a Dawes Swifty ladies MTB for £20 (lot 176).

* Edit: Earlier Nishiki frames - like this one - are thought to have been built by Nakamura (typically high-quality Japanese frame building) and later framesets subcontracted to Giant in Taiwan.

Aside from Miyata (probably the most well-known Japanese manufacturer), bikes from the Land of the Rising Sun tend to have somewhat of an under-the-radar recognition in Britain.

Love the U.S. license plates. I've seen similar from Canada.

Let's hope the authorities here don't spot them and get any ideas !
