I've just seen this Dawes Ambassador on ebay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DAWES-AMBASSADOR-BIKE-/261136949466?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item3cccf9a0da
It's in the Birmingham area, bidding start at 99p with no reserve.

And a Motobecane (not an MBK) 3-speed in Nuneaton.

Jesus wept, that Motobecane is well fit! Good job I'm all biked out and that's miles away.

This looks pretty tasty too, but it's quite a distance away...

Chopper MkIII good nick apparently, not sure how strong the market is for these things and as there is no way my knees would get past the handlebars I don't intend to research them, even if it is a local pickup.

I've just seen this 'new' Pashley with rod-brakes on ebay. Either it's 'new old stock' or somebody has been having some fun with the decals:

Don't seem popular at all, really. Mk2s fetch good coin but people seem to give the Mk3s a swerve and I suspect the only interest is from speculators hoping they'll rise in value.

Looks a bargain at £36 + If it was closer I might have had a punt. Something about the frame style looks nice to me dimension wise.

I quite like this Raleigh Randonneur frame here, not a bad price for it either.

Seen this locally; a Rudi Altig . Bit too big for me as it's a 23" frame (stated by the seller via message):

Currently stands at £20 start and no bids.

How cool would you look rocking up to a sportive on that!

Lol, i can just see Wiggo in a full morning suit, cravat and top hat strutting around on that......marketing mans dream!

that's not a 23" frame!

 

[DCLane]

that's not a 23" frame!

That's what I thought! It'd be a 'reserve' bike to be kept at work so I'll probably still bid.

Any idea what size it looks? It seems a 22" to me?

Hard to tell because of the photograpy angle, my guess would be 21" or 22", but if take a peek at the frame i've just started renovating you can base a good guess around that, mine is a 21" frame, 53cm in new money c2c :-) (sally the raleigh thread)
