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

This one was at £100, it is now at £90..... Maybe the seller will finally see sense and bring the price down to something more sensible, I mean, I know it is from 1921 and all, but still, all I really see is a source of spares sadly (short of a major restoration, which I am strangely tempted at) and rather rusty spares at that!:

Meanwhile, this one appears to be preserved under a layer of grease/crap, you wouldn't think it is meant to be blue under all that.
I'd so love to get some degreaser/or something similar and a cloth and see how well it cleans up, not to mention removing the surface rust!

That is just crying out for a bloody good clean, it's almost sore to look at!:

its more original for sure as the Dawes looks a bit of a mix

Well judging by the cabling around the BB I'd say the double crank looks a bit of an afterthought! And if it came out of the factory like that then they should be ashamed of themselves

That was quite normal back in the day.

Seen this locally: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/mountain-bike-/322293662839

It's old-ish and retro. Oh, and I forgot to tell anyone

I'm picking it up tomorrow afternoon - hopefully it's as described.

I've not come across an 'Ottadini' before - this looks a bit different: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-racing-bike-/232123866050

Can't find much on them but this thread from CC suggests a frame-builder in Sunderland.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

This looks interesting, a 1930s Czech made Bata Mas (read the description) with twin tubing around the frame.

£275 for something a bit different from the usual UK made stuff and which should really be in a museum apparently:

could not see many cyclists over take that fit young cyclist, perhaps a lot of car drivers driving even closer to that bike and cyclist,
